i just bought the tmobile galaxy s 2 and was trying to root it. obviously i did something wrong and now its stuck on a black screen. it will not power on AT ALL and when i plug it into the usb it looks for driver QHSYSB_DLOAD. ive tried everything someone please help. i will pay someone to fix my phone if i have to
You need to get in download mode and odin back to stock. Pull battery and put back in. Go to different computer, win XP works best, download/install drivers on PC then plug phone in to PC and download mode should come up.

Also you may have to hold both volume buttons down. It works both ways with and without volume buttons. Search threads how to get in download mode.

It's bricked. I had the same thing happen a few days ago. Just take it back to the T-mobile you bought it from (assuming you bought in-store) and they'll replace it. Seeing your phone recognized as that "QHSYSB_DLOAD" device seems to be an issue with Qualcomm CPUs and happens mainly to HTC phones for obvious reasons. From the hours of research that I did before returning my phone, no one has ever successfully recovered from that kind of brick.
i bought it used so tmobile wont replace it. BUT i registered the phone on samsungs website and it says its still in warranty with them. do you think samsung could replace it?
Yeah I'd do that. They should be able to help you out as long as you don't say you were trying to root it lol. Yours won't vibrate or anything when you press the power button right?
nope it doesnt vibrate. what do you think of this?

Yup, mine wouldn't vibrate either. The only sign of life was when it was plugged into the PC in an attempt to get into download mode. I read that when you get to the point where the phone can't even get into download mode properly(showing the usual warning about custom OSes, that the jig device won't work, unfortunately. It may be worth a shot though if the price is right.
just shipped out to samsung. hopefully they dont realize why its broken and try to charge me for it
I have researched with no help what so ever. A buddy of mine got a Epic Touch 4G and accidentally flashed gti9100 rom on there.
I told him I will try to help him out.
The battery that is in the phone is gone. It flashes blue when it's plugged to a power source and you cannot start the phone to "download Mode" with the battery.
As soon as you insert that battery and plug in power source, the phone attempts to turn on and at the bottom you get " 3 icons "Phone, triangle, computer" and underneath the icons it says "Firmware Encountered" and the rest I cannot read.
I have a Epic Touch 4g myself and no stranger to flashing and roms.(currently running codname). I can use m y battery in the other phone and it will allow me to turn it on and get to download mode. Problem is, I cannot get USB connection.
Tried different cable, computer, front ports, back ports, downloaded the gti9100 drivers instead on a different computer and still no connection. Really I do not think there is a fix, but giving one my try in the forums.
thanks
Best bet send in the phone was a manufacturer warrenty every phone was one I think. And tell them it wont turn on and u charged it for along time and call samsung and say tht

One other possible thing that worked on old epics. Try taking the battery and external sd out for a day to let the internal ram clear. Then try going into dl mode with the phone plugged in but the battery removed.

This is not always true. When I first got my E4GT I flashed an international ROM too and it actually let me boot into it but it was really messed up everything was stuck in landscape mode and none of the capacitive keys would work. I could not connect to the PC while booted into the ROM but in download mode I was actually able to. I would give the idea of taking the battery and SD card out for a day a try. What can ya lose?

With USB not working it had a bootloader in the tar ..... there is no using Odin it will never connect......

As the title reads my Note 2 will not turn on. It will not go into recovery mode. I have 5 batteries and none of them are working. Yesterday I got 2 weird messages that "BadgeProvider" and "Samsung" has stopped. The phone started acting weird by not letting me use anything but the notification bar. I couldn't even turn it off using the power button. I removed the battery and reinserted the battery a couple of times and still it didn't work only letting me use the notification bar. Finally it started working for some random reason and I restarted the phone and all was well.
I'm so use to having 5 batteries that I did not have the phone on the charger last night and it died. Now the phone will not turn on at all. Not into recovery mode. Not normal mode. It is totally unresponsive. Tried rapidly touching the contacts with the battery contact and nothing. What can I do to get my phone working????????????
Also to add to this, yesterday when I was taking the phone's battery out and in the phone would start booting by itself. Could this be a power button issue? I've only had the phone for about 10 months and never dropped it without the otterbox defender series on it.

From that statement above, having the otter box doesn't mean you'll be protected against drops. Yes it'll protect the phone but still suffered inside the device! I had a friend crack his screen on the corner, with an otter box on with one drop!
Now back to the phone:
Since you can get into recovery have you tried a factory data reset to see if that fixes your problem..

I plan to read all responses as soon as I can because I'm in dire need of help. The phone WILL NOT turn back on. The first day I had the problem it gave me the "BadgeProvider" has stopped working and also the "Samsung" has stopped working error messages. The only thing that was responsive was responsive was my notification bar. I could slide it down turn wifi on and off etc from there but when I hit the setting button on the notification bar it would not open up the settings immediately and there was maybe a 2 minute delay (I walked away from the phone and came back to it) and it would finally open it up but giving me the 2 error messages "BadgeProvider" and "Samsung" has stopped working. Read online that clearing the BadgeProvider data under "Application Manager->All->BadgeProvider" would fix this issue so thats what I did. Wallah it worked fine.....fell asleep without my phone on the charger and it died but I have 5 batteries so who cares. Woke up noticed the phone was dead then I swapped batteries (OEM Samsung battery). Tried to turn it on and it will not turn on. Tried putting it on the charger (even though it should be a freshly charged battery) and the red charging light will not even come on. Tried to boot into recovery mode and still unresponsive.
As of now I CANNOT boot into revovery mode, turn on the phone in any way, get the charging light to come on when plugged in (I have 5 other batteries plus an external battery charger so its definitely not truely dead battery wise), I cannot get the phone to do anything what so ever. Tried removing external storage from it, tried removing sim, tried 5 different fully charged batteries and nothing.
Anyone that can give me some insight on what the problem may be and a possible solution I would greatly appreciate it.

True, true.....Or, they post the same question in five forums....lol.
What do you guys think about using Odin? Can he get into the phone if it won't go to recovery? Can you install TWRP or CWM, they may automatically set the phone to restart in recovery mode? Just some thoughts....I am not a dev., just an avid user.
Something here might help as well. :

Keep us posted on what you try, and your status. Good luck.
Also if it helps any, I have had my phone restart by itself randomly way before rooting it. After rooting I still had the restarts just as I have always had (maybe once every 3 weeks). Rooting it gave me no errors at all and it has been working fine for months being rooted. Not sure if letting you guys know of the restarting issue is going to help anything but I'm telling you all I know to try to debug this issue.

Thanks man. I'm thinking it's hardware too. Herd of motherboard problems early on with this phone that would cause it to randomly shut off and not come back on.
Has ANYONE had any experience with samsung repair centers???? Do they care if the device is rooted even if its a known hardware issue?

I've read a few people having that problem with the phone randomly turning off.
[Q] did you get the phone New or used? If its used you have a lot of people out there selling devices with problems that they couldn't fix! FYI
#2
Does it get recognized by the PC?
When you plug it in? If so then you should be able to try the Kies recovery!
If not then kies won't help..

I brought it directly from AT&T new. And nope. Tried pluggin it into the PC and not recognized. Tried Kies and Odin and neither had any affect. The phone is just completely unresponsive now.
Thinking about trying to take it to Samsung before AT&T so I can try to miss the deductible.
Remove the battery ...then plug the device in to USB connection with your PC...
Then attempt to boot the phone into download mode..
If successful ....then immediately push the rooted stock rom from Mr. Robinsons thread in the development section...
If no download mode exists while attempting boot with the battery removed ...then the likelihood of device damage is high...
This of course does not rule out the possibility of a stuck power button ...but that hardware failure generally presents a repeated and uncontrolled loop which in this case we are not seeing...
Odin mode failure generally means a defective or damaged Chipset...g

Ok since you want to take it in to Sammy. And you did state you got it New from the AT&T store. Then you can take it into one of the DSC. (Device support center)
Check HERE:
http://www.att.com/esupport/article.jsp?sid=KB91429&cv=820#fbid=CS_QLPeF54-
Hopefully there's one in your area. I have one like 10 mins away from me
Hopefully they can help you get back up and running. No charge either. It's a warranty center. Member no Rom talk in there.. LOL:sly:
But if they can't get it to turn on you'll be getting another the same day. Takes about a total of 15 minutes and you'll be on your way with your new toy!! Yay and good luck to you. Lety us know what you're outcome is!

Got a new phone. It was a painless process. Just walk in play dumb and talk as least as possible. They never asked a question about rooting. I'm guessing because I seemed like an idiot . Going to let it do all the updates it can then going to root it tomorrow using CFroot.
Thanks all for the info.
Anyone reading this in the future let me know if I can help in anyway.
Glad you got a new device ..and for the record ...I personally believe you had a bad device from day 1...
Normally I would frown on anyone taking back a device that has been modded ...but I can see no evidence in your case that indicates your doing anything that would break your chipset ...
And I know that others feel the same way ...
You tried your guts out ...and the device just didn't act properly from day 1...
Please place a "Solved" in the thread title if you don't mind ...
That way ...everyone knows the issue has been corrected ..
Many thanks ...and....
Happy flashing ....g

Hey everyone, the LG Optimus G phone in question is my girls phone and after she got out of work she tried to charge it but it ended up dying. After we got home we put it on her charger that came in the box with the phone and no led lights came on. So we tried to connect it to my HTC One charger and again nothing. I even tried to connect it to the laptop and nothing. Basically I havent gotten any sign of life from this phone and would like to ask this community for your help. Its no trouble to go to the store and asked for a new phone but I cant replace the music and photos that have been taken over time. If there are any cmd commands I can run to get it to turn on or at least give me a few minutes to get the data inside that would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

I think I know your problem but answers these first.
Can you get the Hardware keys to flash when you attempt to power on the device, either plugged into charger or not?
Did the phone get really hot when the device was charging and after it died?
If you phone isnt rooted and unlocked ignore this: If you have lgnpst, attempt to go into download mode, and flash teenybin, and see if you can get to recovery or boot into ROM.
The OG has a problem I like to call super drain. Your battery is so low the device won't power on, and a hardware reset is needed (pulling the battery). The good thing is you will still have your files if reset the battery, however depending on who you bought your warranty from, it may void it.

If her phone isnt unlocked, its probably battery drain which means battery removal to hard reset the phone( if you want the files). Did you buy a sprint warranty or a bestbuy warranty, or even some other warranty? If you are willing to lose the files on the phone, you can go straight to lgnpst. Join the optimus g irc. They can help you out.

As far as i know all OG's And ya, wont be an issue with BB warranty. If her phone is unlocked, try tinybin first: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2230106
If you really cant get into download mode, its probably the battery. Here's the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s22l8E92528
Also, to prevent this from happening again, tell her to keep her battery above 15-20% , as its better for it, and to just turn of her device if her batt gets to 5% or below. Basically this phone has bad battery power reporting, and it may say 5% but its actually 1 and it uses self to the point the hardware thinks there is something wrong. Also, i suggest not charging the device when its off if thats what she did. Its acts wonky for somepeople, idk why.

I disconnected the battery and had it sit for about 20min or so and when I connected it back nothing would happen. I tried going into download mode and nothing. But from what I recall doesn't tinybin need for me to be in download mode for it to work? I'm gonna take this phone back to best buy when I get it to work but all I want is our pictures and what not from the phone.

Downside of a phone without a microsd card slot. Probably for the future upload ALL pictures to the cloud if your phone doesn't have a micro sd card slot. Hardware failure = you lose your picture or it becomes expensive to fix.

Your best bet is go on the irc and ask for help. This may not be a battery issue. BTW, did you have the phone plugged into your PC? It must be plugged in to go into download mode.
