[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.

[Q] Bricked Desire Z

Hi
I've got Desire Z with latest Visionary rom. Everything worked fine till today. My som played Angry Birds and suddenly phone turned off... I was unable to turn it on - pull & put back battery doesn't work. When I connect charger - nothing, unable to boot, black screen, charging led not working. I connected DZ via usb to my notebook - it found QHSUSB_DLOAD device and nothing more. I read somewhere at xda, that it could be burned motherboard. Any ideas to bring it back to work ?
Greetings - Tom

I got only logo htc and nothing more. Than I tried restart phone more times and now it not response to power button. I get only black screen. If I connect tel to pc it found device QHSUSB_DLOAD.

I bought this phone yesterday and it was already broken. Phone dont start and if I plugged them to PC it defined as QHSUSB_DLOAD device.
Previous owner said that phone was finally broken (from died memory chip to QHSUSB_DLOAD mode) when it lying on the table with battery.

fried emmc is a prdoblem with certain chips on these phones. do you knoew if it rooted? boot into bootloader (hold volume down while powering on) and write down everything on that screen
Sent from my HTC Vision using xda premium

In QHSUSB_DLOAD mode phone cant boot into bootloader, unfortunately..
I ask previous owner about root, will see what he says
There people solved same problem with sensation but no solution for DZ granted

Phone is s-on without root

unfortunetly if you can access bootloader or recovery there is nothing that can be done other than jtag.
Sent from my HTC Vision using xda premium

bootloader and recovery has no available currently. I know that a long ago..
Do you know how repair via jtag or via qhsusb_dload mode?

as far as I know no one has made a way to unbrick with the qhsusb_dload for the vision, I only looked into that project once when I got a doubleshot for my girlfriend, just to see what its all about. I believe there are only a limited number of devices that dexter (I think that's his name) support, the vision not being one of them. also this will only help under certain circumstance. if you have a fried emmc than you can't read or write to it and I don't believe even jtag would help. but not having access to bootloader or recovery just makes it nearlly imposible do anything.
now there are people who have the knowhow and equipment to jtag the vision, and they probably charge in the $50 range. this *may* get you access to your bootloader and then of course a full stock rom/radio/spl/etc would be forced to you phone but again without knowing what caused the brick it is hard to say

Thanks.
May i ask dumb question? bootloader is stay in emmc? or another storage?
For example, desire s with died emmc setup to boot from microSD and it works!
I see no problem with replacement emmc but boot from sd is easier if bootloader alive, of course
And jtag-board with soft is so high price..

yeah the bootloader partition is in the emmc, if that is just borked (not a fried emmc) jtag will fix it. you can't boot from sd because you have nothing working, cathedral (I think that's who it was) discovered how to boot off sd in these situations, and yes that works with the g2/dz as well, but even then you need a somewhat working recovery
jtag is probably about the same as a new logic board, maybe a little cheaper. but if you can't find someone to do it for like 20~30 bucks then buy a new motherboard for like 60~80. or learn how to do jtag yourself, the equipment is rather cheap (sometimes can make your own cable) and the software I believe is free. someday I plan to learn myself (got a couple dead g1s lying around) but for now I'm no help in that regard

if bootloader hold in emmc.. so i really want to know what is written in cpu-memory)

I believe all partitions are held in the emmc, the cpu is just like the command center and decides what to do and when to do it.
Sent from my HTC Vision using xda premium

above CPU exists another flash-drive but i dont know anything about data located in this storage.

sorry I couldn't tell you, haven't looked it to this much but to my understanding is that all partitions are held in the emmc. I guess its possible that the larger system parition is located in a seperate nand but I don't think so. I'm sure a little googling will turn up a breakdown of all compenents on the logic board if your interested and where memory is alocated

Replacing emmc solved problem

Hey glad to hear! Did you replace the whole board or just the chip?

[Q][Urgent] Wildfire Died?

Well I rooted my htc wildfire and overclocked it.
Everything seemed to work fine for a few months
and then...
I got a text message, and I responded to it, but I did also see that my battery was almost empty, then after responding, I putted my phone in my pocket, Then like 15 minutes later, I looked at my phone and it didn't do anything anymore, so I thought, my battery ran out, nothing to worry about then I got home, plugged in my phone... led didn't turn on... phone didn't charge. I was like damn, maybe my battery died? So I went outside to someone who also has a Wildfire and asked if I could try his battery, We switched batteries and my phone still didn't work
Does anyone know how i can fix this? my phone doesn't respond to ANYTHING I've tried

These symptoms are a bad omen.

Does it pick anything up plugging it into a computer?

Than that would be the first wildfire thats been bricked AFAIK
Maybe it's a hardware issue, something as motherboard or CPU or maybe the connector for the lcd screen has become loose

lol, how can it be bricked if I used the root for a few months and didn't change anything to it for a while?
also @lcd poster
if it was my lcd, my led should still turn on when inserting the phone to a power connection
also I do also think it is something with my mainboard/cpu, i've read on the internet that i'm not the only one with a phone that just doesn't respond to anything anymore (wildfire) even others who hadn't rooted their phone got this issue, although they have garrantuee :s
sorry for my bad english

Anyhow its great u r not bricked bt if u have damaged CPU so do u have warranty/guarantee?

Rooted and overclocked, I don't think my warranty is still valid?

Yes your warranty is void. But, if you were on a Stock / Sense based ROM, you *may* be lucky and the service guys may not notice.

But maybe they won't start repairing it and give me just a new one, (since it's more expensive to repair the phone then to give me a new one i guess) and then they'll won't notice either?
also, if I do bring back my phone and they find out about it, will they charge me for the repairing costs? even if I don't want it to be repaired if it will cost me? (I already bought an iphone now, but sometimes i just want to experiment back with my android xd)

I really can't answer that mate. Policies vary widely across stores and nations. But, don't hold your breath for a new one, I think that case is extremely unlikely. I guess your best bet is to give them the phone, and have them contact yo regarding it's situation, repairs, and costs (if any) after their preliminary inspection / assessment. Only after their assessment, you give the go ahead to repair / replace (If free ).

HTC and Apple don't roll the same way.
Apple's products aren't even worth repairing, thus they don't bother doing that.

it might be an lcd problem this thing also happened to me...

I know quite a few friends of mine who had similar issues with other HTC devices and they just went to the shop and they were given new ones in a short time. usually guys at the customer service are ignorant and don't check for anything, even if in your situation it should be impossbile to know which rom you're mounting.
my advice is go there and have a brand new wildfire, nobody will discover it's without warranty

Mabye its static?
Once my brothers netbook had a static build up causing a problem i dunno if the same rules apply but try: take out battery -> hold power on for around 30secs, If that didnt work try getting into bootloader holding vol down and power on when your phones off
Hope my ideas worked and that your wildfires better

I have same problems
When i trying root my HTC device ... there are something wrong... so it can't boot after rooting.
I think that it was bricked.

HTC ONE X Won't turn On, help!

Hi guys,
My HTC One X shut off yesterday mysteriously and won't turn on, there is also no red light when plugged into a charger, the phone just seems to be dead. I have tried to hold the volume down button and the power button for up to two minutes and nothing happens to reset it! Please help if you can, thanks in advance!

try with some other a/c adapter, or just other usb cable.

I tired changing adapters and the cable but no luck.

Same query...I got my new HTC one x a day before (from grey mkt). Day 1, it was running smoothly...after installing few apps from play store, next day it went dead....now nothing seems to be happening with this new dead brick. No charging, no display.. nothing.....guys pls help

This seems to be all too common and I wonder why HTC hasn't had some sort of recall issued for this? I must say though that I called htc today and they were very pleasant to deal with, I am shipping the phone off to them tomorrow for repairs and will report back on how it goes.

How I can brick my galaxy nexus with an EMMC fried?

hi guys, I've probably fried the emmc on my phone...
I've tried everthing from recovery from toolkit and from odin (remains just fastboot I had not time yet) whatever I wipe or I flash on my phone doesn't matter all sticks there when I reboot (and my phone keep gooing in bootloop on cm logo)
So since it's unlocked I'm trying to find a way to brick definitely my phone, so I can take in warranty.
Anybody has suggestions to brick it??

Pull something off the motherboard. This may/may not work to get it replaced but will most definitely brick it.

I woldnt advise that at all, on my nexus 7 2012 I was popping the back off and my screwdriver slipped and knocked a resistor off the motherboard (making my GPS not work). I accidentally erased my bootlader a few months later and when I sent it in to warrejty they rejected it due to "customor induced hardware damage".

My intention of suggesting omapflash was to unbrick your phone,not to brick it . And as for the headphone port,according to ifixit,the headphone port and speakers are easy to replace(http://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Samsung+Galaxy+Nexus+Teardown/7182)
