[Q] Bricked G2

First off let me just say, I already know this is most likely a full brick with no chance of recovery.
Anyway, when my sister got a G2 a while back I perm-rooted and s-off'd it for her. I later flashed the CM 6 RC and that's what she's been on this whole time.
Apparently her new boyfriend is "tech savvy" and has the same phone, so he asked if she wanted to be updated to CM 7 and gave it a shot without letting me know first.
He bricked it, I'm almost certain of it. He said he tried to update it to the newest radio via adb and got an error saying something like "memory is full" or "cant write, no more space" or something like that. He then turned it off so he could "try again", but from then on it wouldn't turn on anymore -__-
I know that a bad radio flash leads to a brick so I'm guessing there's nothing i can do for her, but I've never bricked any of my devices so i thought i'd ask to be sure. As of right now, when i press the power button the screen stays off. No images, no lights, no nothing. I've tried holding the power button + volume down/up and nothing. It simply does nothing. The charging light still turns on if i plug it into the wall charger but nothing happens when i connect it to a computer.
Is there anything I can do to help her besides telling her to get a new one?

Sounds like a brick to me, did he try flashing the ENG. Hboot ? If he screwed something up while doing this the result would be exactly what you are describing.

have you tried pulling the battery then re-seating it and booting into recovery?

Also take out battery and hold power as you put battery back in. Worth a shot

I say smack it off his head a few times.
If its a brick you might as well use it for some good (Y)

Tried connecting the power USB adapter to it?

he has the same phone right... TO ME what i see is... her boyfriend has a new bricked g2... and you sister has a new g2 with CM7 installed on it... so much for tech savvy... if i remenber right the best and only way to flash radio is through fastboot..

This guy has it right your sister has a new G2 with cm7 and he has nice expensive paper weight tell him thats what he gets for ****ing with stuff he knows nothing about

My LEDs don't even lit up when I plug it into the wall charger. Into the PC neither. I do get a hardware detected notification though, but Windows 7 isn't able to find the correct driver (for a what's apparently called QHSUSB_DLOAD). I have all HTC and Android drivers installed since I have the Android SDK and HTC Sync+drivers installed.

I never heard of doing this before, what does this do. Note my phone is working, but I don't try thing blindly, so I won't be doing this.

[Q] Desire Dead - Oxygen RC7 - Anything I can do?

2 Questions:
Can my phone be revived?
If no, is there anyway HTC will be able to tell that it has been rooted thus voiding my warranty?
Apologies if this has already come up and been answered but I did search the Q&A and dev forums first.
Background:
Today my Desire died. I am running Oxygen RC7 (have done for a couple of weeks now)
At the weekend I had trouble unlocking my phone. I pressed the button but the screen stayed black. This was resolved by removing and re-inserting the battery. However, today, when the same thing happened, the battery trick didn't work. Tried leaving the Desire batteryless for an hour or so but still no joy.
Connected the phone to my computer by USB and no activity (no light on phone, no recognition on PC).
I would really appreciate any suggestions.

Oh and while I remember, I cannot even get into boot mode by pressing the top button and volume down.

Sounds like phone is dead DEAD!

Thanks, I'll look into these options tonight. Any thoughts re warranty? Will HTC know it was rooted?

Have you tried leaving it plugged into the charger for at least 10 minutes to see if you get any life?
Have you tried with the battery off, and just the charger plugged in to see if the LED lights up?

No I haven't tried these yet. Will try when I get home. I did try with two batteries though (1 fully charged, 1 about 90% charged).

It didn't appear a problem on software anyway, it appears a issue on hardware (if it was a problem on software, your phone would at least boot HBOOT).
Answering your question, yeah, they will probably discover that you rooted your phone. Don't know if they will void your warranty for this, but probably yes. Anyway, you can try at least.

Yeah, guess I have no choice! I'll try looking at some of the options talked about in this post but looks like I'll just have to chance it with HTC. Wish me luck!

My phone was rooted and I had CM6.1.1 on it, my phone died like yours so I sent it off to HTC and they didn't realise it was rooted. If you think about it if the phone is completely dead and doesn't even turn on there is no way for them to find out. Simples

[Q] S-Off Desire completely dead, safe to send back to reseller?

Hello,
While I was using my mobile it switched off and I couldnt open it again. I tried everything, battery pull and all kind of boots but nothing..
Even when i am connecting it with usb for charching the light doesnt turn on.
Did you heard any similar issue?
My phone is S-OFF but there is no way to connect to phone and restore it for warranty purpose... So if i send it to reseller and the phone is completely dead there is any possibility to find that is S-OFF? (I will try to format the SD Card.)

noones help? :S

You can't access safe boot and boot loader?

happened to me, it's dead. Call HTC and claim warranty.

no fastboot no recovery no blinking lights nothing. I will call HTC. I think that is a short circuit or something. It doesnt even blinking in charging mode. Do you think that is possible for HTC to check that the phone is S-OFF ?

they can see if it is S-OFF if they want.

So do you think that I should recover it back to S-On ? If yes is it possible? From what i read in Q/A Thread there is no way..

Don't be stupid, if the phone is dead, it's dead. My phone was S-OFF w/CM7 when this happened to me, and HTC sent me a replacement.

There IS no way.. if it doesn't turn on, don't worry about it and send it back. As I've said before I'm speaking from experience here...

Don't see how I'm being a ****, all I said was don't be stupid - since there's no way they could tell what software the phone is running if it's broken.

As long as it is not due to a bad flash and is faulty hardware, you should not have an issue

No,I can't..it still be dead

try a different battery if u can, if that dont work then its probably dead. Same happened to mine, my phone was charging and i dropped it then it never turned back on (it didnt brake from dropping it, overheated while charging)

i'll try the original one..'cause i bought a while ago a mugen power battery bigger than the stock one....but the mess is that i haven't done anything to the phone..it simply "suicided" himself!that's weird!

I used a different battery..but nothing to do..still dead...:crying:..anything else to do?

Your motherboard might be roasted.

I actually just came to make a thread, about the exact same problem I cant turn my desire on charging doesn't respond tried a new battery at a store. Prior to this happening I was at a beach and my phone took a dip for 10 seconds, phone never stopped working the led light was red from there on worked for at least a month or so after before this.
I was thinking it was connected to that but maybe not, I was wondering if maybe the phone some how bricked. It's a silly question but I shall ask any ways is there any possibility of restoring stock ruu via the computer? I'm no expert on that guess the phone wouldn't be detected tho.
The only thing I can make the phone do is occasionally when holding the power down the phones gets stuck vibrating till I pull the battery.

You can't flash a RUU without the phone booting in hboot.

Oh well thanks, I wonder how common it is for phones to just die. My general thinking was so long as I didn't drop it or the beach lol it would last ages which it did, previously had a iphone 3g which apples updates killed the wifi then the battery died, now I'm torn between the LG Optimus 4X HD or a Ipod Touch 5th gen, actually this seems really good value for money BWC Thunderbolt Dual SIM which is available on mobicity.c0m.a-u It's kinda like dunno Chinese generic brand running Jellybean 4.1.2 only reason I probably wouldn't buy it probably wouldn't ever be rooted or updated by manufacturer otherwise I would get it

You wanna buy an iPod????????? Seriously?????????????

Well I'm not all to caught up in the one or the other boat all seem to get aboard on, I already brought a new phone average. I was looking to buy a ipod bare amount I was willing to spend just for getting on the net when out music games reading then figured 4.7 inch to 5 inch screens would be better for reading, and there's only one or two other options in that price range. Dunno if I will or wont now but I was recently looking at ubuntu for phones which may be out end of year or next year, seems interesting going to have to wait to see how that unfolds

[Q] HELP! hOx wont turn on!

I was installing an app (swiftkey) and my phone froze. I manually tried rebooting but it wont turn on at all (not even bootloader). When I connect it to a power supply the LED doesn't even light up (although it had 25% battery before the problem). My phone definitely wasn't overheating (I checked immediately after to make sure nothing happened) and I wasn't OCing or anything.
Any ideas what to do?
Thanks in advance,

Is it recognized on a computer? Trying to rule out whether it's the QHSUSB_DLOAD issue that some people got, if it's recognized on a computer, and the driver installation says that, your phone's in usb download mode, as far as I know there are tools out there to kick the phone out of that mode, just not sure if it's for the One X.
P.S, what HOX is it? Because this only happens to the US variants

I was worried about the motherboard also although I cant believe I didnt think of checking the battery. I'll take apart the phone tomorrow see whats going on inside - thanks for the ideas.

Dead HOX
If you disassembly motherboard connect it to the PC . You should see it in control panel and also storage. Conect only battery and led diode should glow in red colour. If you end up with dead motherboard be carefull i bought one from ebay useless and 2 localy also useless. Unfortunately used motherboards on the market are mostly useless. Good luck.

Ok motherboards' gone.... I purchased a Nexus 5 32gb I think it should take my HoX's place nicely.
Thanks guys!
