I updated my radio using recovery mode in clockworkmod, and after flashing, the phone rebooted. Upon reboot, it just showed the android coming out of a box icon. I pulled the battery out to reboot, and after that, the phone won't turn on anymore. Is it dead forever?
The battery was fully charged when I did this, so I don't think it's that, however I don't have another battery to test it with currently. Any help would be much appreciated.

You should not have pulled out the battery, it was installing the radio upgrade. Flashing radios is one of very few ways you can actually brick your device.
Can you still access Recovery?
As above, pulling the battery mid radio flash is a sure way to totally brick your device.
Installing a radio goes through 2 reboots, and you should never ever interrupt the process. Unless you can access recovery it looks like you have brick.

Don't know where you heard about pulling the battery out while flashing but that desire is no more than dust now.

If you can't access Recovery by holding volume down and power button when the phone is off, you have bricked it. The only way you can recover it now is to find someone with a RIFF box & JTAG or to send it back to HTC and pay an extortionate amount for them to do it for you.
Hmmm bad luck buddy... seems that its bricked indefinitely... is it still under warranty? I know its unethical, but maybe try sending it back and mention that you dropped it or something, you might get lucky.

Thanks for the reply guys, I guess I truly did brick it, as it won't even power on anymore.
Does anyone have an idea how much HTC would charge for the repair? Am I better off buying a new phone?

This is why you should always read up on what you are doing before you drive right in, your best bet now is to claim on the insurance or to contact HTC and see what they can do for you. They will without doubt be able to repair it for you, the question is, how much will they charge?
Lesson learned. Unfortunately, I was following the instructions at the cyanogenmod wiki for the Desire.
I thought the radio update was required to update the ROM, but it seems that that is not the case. Hopefully HTC will be willing to repair it.
As a long shot, is anyone here able to do the riff box/jtag repair?

I would think they will charge you somewhere in the region of $200+ to repair it, at least. Try looking here I had a little search for people with RIFF Boxes, at the bottom of the page are a list of people who can repair phones, shoot off a few e-mails and see how much they charge to save your Desire, it might work out substantially cheaper than sending it off to HTC.
Thanks! There's even a guy in San Jose. Hopefully he can work on short notice.
Was the $200+ HTC's potential repair fee, or the riff-boxers?

The potential repair fee. RIF Boxes aren't actually that expensive, ~$150 or so, but it's all about having the know-how to use the damned thing.
Screen has gone black. Sometimes i can see everything fine for a second and then it just goes black. I know the phone is still on because I can feel the haptic feedback of the buttons even when its black. My question is how do I unroot my phone so I can return it through verizon without the use of the screen? Any help would be appreciated I am at a loss on this.

Have you tried a battery pull? Can you still access your recovery?

I have done a battery pull and it did nothing. I have not tried recovery but I dont think that will help, I believe it is a hardware issue with the screen.

Like david_hume suggested I would try getting into boot loader first.
My guess is that its hardware failure. If you no longer have warranty/insurance on your phone you could try taking your phone apart. It could be as simple as the connection for the LCD came loose. My other guesses would be the LCD could have went bad or the connection on the PCB failed. You might want to start looking for a donor phone if you can find one cheap. Or if you aren't up for the DIY challenge it could be time for a new phone. If you decide to try fixing it I highly recommend looking for a good tear down video on YouTube.

The phone is still under the htc 1 year warranty so I could have it replaced under that. My only question is will they be able to tell its rooted by hooking it up to a computer or will they just give me a new one since the screen went dead.

I'm not sure about that. I've never done an exchange through them. I have heard of people getting warranty replacements while their phone is rooted but not sure if that is through VZW or HTC.

Hey guys,
From what I've read, this seems to happen to a lot of different phones, but not out of the blue and I didn't find anything on the Note 2, so I'm wondering if it's the same issue and if my only hope is to get a replacement. It seems to be dead at the moment.
Before going to bed, I charged my phone to about 90% and then unplugged it and left it on my desk.
This morning when I woke up, it was off, which was kind of odd, since there's no way it would fully discharge over night. I tried turning it on, plugging it to charge, swapping out the battery for another original one I purchased directly from Samsung, trying other chargers, even the PC and different USB cables, all to no avail.
The only thing I noticed was that the proximity sensor seems to flash every 5-10 seconds, and I'm not sure what that would mean, other than the fact that it's getting some power somehow so that it can light up.
For the time being, I removed the battery and left it like that while I'm at work.
The phone is running the stock ROM for the GT-N7100, nothing was ever modified, it's not rooted or anything.
I know there was a firmware update pop-up on it at some point, but I hadn't installed it.
Any clues guys? I know there's some really knowledgeable people here, so I'm hoping someone might have an idea!
Thanks for the help and sorry for the text!
That sounds like the dreaded sudden death syndrome, how long have you had your device? You need to take it to a service shop. Was it rooted?

Sorry to hear it . Last week I left mine on my bedside table around same charge 90% full and it was completely discharged and just wouldnt turn on but after leaving it on charge for about 30 min when I checked it started working .

Heard of that for the S III but not the Note II!
Never rooted, nope :/
I've had it since November, got it from Newegg while I was in the US.
I should contact Samsung for a service shop location then? I've never done anything like that before.
Thanks!

When you plugged it in to charge, did the LED light up at all? Mine acts as if it wasn't plugged in.
No it didnt but at the time I didnt think of it and walked away leaving it on charge. And also I didnt even know anything sds . Did you try leaving your battery out overnight or use another battery? You called call in to any mobile phone shop and maybe ask them to see if uou can at least tey theirs

All the sign and symptoms indicating its sudden death.
- Have you updated to 4.1.2 which is believed to be patch for SDS?
-Can you reboot to recovery/download mode?
Well, I did try just plugging it in for a few hours, when I went back to it the battery was cold and nothing happened.
I do have 2 original batteries, so I've been trying everything with both of them.
It just seems like the SDS because of the proximity sensor lighting up.
Right now it's unplugged and without a battery, just in case the capacitors need to discharge or something.
I guess I'll try again tonight!
It's really complicated with the GT-N7100 being an international phone, I can't register it on Samsung for warranty, so I've been trying to talk to Newegg and haven't been successful with them so far.
Thanks for the replies guys.

The crazy part is that I think the phone was asking me to update firmware, but I didn't have time to update it before it died like this... what luck, right?
For the download mode, it never reacts while plugged in other than the sensor, so even if I hold the key combinations, it doesn't seem to react. I'll try again more thoroughly tonight.
You didn't update that's prove you were not on latest rom which have fixed sds, really bad luck otherwise it could have took 10min on good network.
Anyway Goodluck for replacement.

Have you tried hard reset, or soft reset. and if you cant get into recovery then sorry buddy :/ it seems like the SDS bug.
The proximity sensor light indicated the system is booting up but if no system boots up then you should send it back to samsung for repair.
Mine should be arriving tomorrow with an engineer's report. I will fill you guys in on what the service centre says.

It seems to indeed be the SDS, and I can't reset it or anything since it won't boot up, nor can it go into download mode.
Biggest problem is that seeing as it's a GT-N7100, after calling Samsung; they're telling me it's an international phone and that it can't be serviced in the US or Canada, so I'm basically stuck with a $700 paper weight... this majorly blows. I wish there was someone higher up at Samsung I could speak to, since this is just an extremely bad experience with the product...

I would definitely appreciate any help! You think this would help? I know phones don't exactly carry international warranty, but if I could send it there for replacement or something; that's already a step forward.
I do believe that since Samsung knows of this problem, they should offer outright replacements for anyone suffering of this issue though - because it's literally putting a faulty product on the market; there should be something we can do about this.
Appreciate it, once again!

My HTC One M8 got bricked while updating to android 4.4.4 (eye experience). According to futuretel, the warranty is only active for three months without a receipt. I tried locating a reliable phone repair shop in Toronto and its been a nightmare. HTC has the worst customer service I have ever experienced. The phone still contains my data. Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated.
please note: the power button is broken

There's a lesson here, always keep your receipts. Also if it was broken already then you should have had it replaced. Unless you caused the damage then they won't replace it regardless because you could be the reason why it bricked

He has two posts, which doesn't really tell his experience with rooting and "bricks", but is usually a good indication. I have a feeling he can fix it with some help.
I could be wrong though. No answer on the "will your phone turn on?" yet.
EDIT: no power button. not bricked. hardware issue. should read the whole post instead of having another sip of beer.

Learnt the hard way. The phone was working perfectly fine except for the power button. After the update, the phone was stuck in a boot loop between update symbol and low battery. I pulled out the sd card and now its just showing a flashing red light. I am going to get the power button fixed just now and get the technician to diagnose any other issues.
Did you happen to buy the device with a credit card? This almost always will suffice as a proof of purchase or receipt.
If your phone was in a loop when the battery died, its not bricked.
update
The phone shows up as QUALCOMM HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (com 3)
I'm planning on buying another phone (not HTC)

Its technically bricked but there are tools that you could use to fix it, but I doubt you want to take that much effort in fixing it.
So what was the point of this thread? You obviously don't want to fix it. So you just wanted to whine about it? Good luck on your next phone, don't brick that one too.
Pretty sure my m8 is bricked
Hey i sort of hi-jacked this thread , however it relates to my matter. I tried to convert my HTC into google play edition, I s -off, unlocked the boot loader and rooted it. Now for the fun part I went to flash a google m8 rom and BAM boot loaader came up with tampered and not only that the rom didn't work and now the htc boot screen (the white one) has a lock on the bottom and i can't do anything. I can access TWRP and have flashed other roms to it but it keeps denying them and going to the same htc boot screen with that lock symbol. Anyone please help I just got this phone and feel like I should never gotten myself mixed in this modding business lol . Thanks for anyone that can help me resolve this.

Hi there, I hard bricked my Tab S 8.4. No reaction to anything I did (key combinations, let it charge for hours, stuff like that). Don't know how it happened but it just crashed to death shortly after installing an inofficial Lolloipop build from here. I don't think a ROM can make a device not turn on at all. My money is on hardware failure.
Anyway, brought it in for repairs (willing to pay since I knowingly voided the warranty). Got the call yesterday. They said the software had been tampered with and they can't repair it. I objected that the software won't break the hardware but no dice. They won't even do it for cold hard cash.
BUT: To see the 'illegal' software they HAD to get the thing to turn on . And if they got it to turn on somehow, so can I. Or... am I completely wrong there and they have some magic fairy dust?
Any ideas on how I could accomplish what the repair guys could obviously do? There is no important data or anything on it so I'd be happy with Odin mode, CWM or whatever.

I kindof had the same problem, but got mine repaired.
May I ask where you send it to for repairs? Was it Samsung or a local repair shop that told you they could not fix it?
And did they send it back to you? Kindof weird they won't fix your device after you say you are willing to pay for it.
Depending on where you live, Samsung covers a lot of 'problems' in the first year of the standaard warranty.
As for turning on the device..
What options have you tried yet?
If you connect the tablet with usb to your pc and turn it on, does it get recognized?
And if so, as what?
But if your screen doesn't turn on, you're probably going to need repairs anyway.

Over here you bring it back to the shop where you bought it. They will try the simplest solutions in house but usually send it back to the manufacturer. I think the information came from Samsung directly. Another theory I have is a simple lie. They tried it in house, nothing came up, some clever guy screamed 'CYANOGEN!' and they all high fived (I have a vivid imagination )
As for turning it on: tried everything. It's not only the screen, it did nothing at all. No signs of life whatsoever. Of course the PC wouldn't recognize it since it was turned off.
I'll pick it up tonight. Maybe whatever they did to see the software tampering stuck and it will at least go into Odin mode. I can work from there.

It simply reset itself after the battery completely died. Black screen and no response doesn't mean the device is off.
As soon as they switched it on they would have seen knox had been tripped.
Sort of did you a favour by telling you it wasn't bricked.
