Hello everyone
I was using my phone and the battery was critically low and eventually the phone powered itself off. I tried recharging the phone later but I'm not getting the charging screen. I've pressed numerous keystrokes combinations (vol down + power, etc.) to start the phone, but the phone just wouldn't boot up.
I tried connecting the phone to the PC, and it's getting detected by Windows but it's showing the phone as 'Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008", and the phone's screen is still off.
Is there a way to revive my phone?
Thanks.

pull out ur battery, try charging with some other phone or external battery charger then try again
Already tried that. still no luck
Just keep it plugged to charger. It takes a while before it boots up again.
Tried that too. I plugged it in for more than 24 hours, but still nothing

fully charge ur battery in external charger than press volume up button then insert battery than insert usb cable which is plugged into a computer. see if downloading logo appear on screen. if yes then u r hell of a lucky person and flash a kdz. if nt then it is hard brick.
then u have to follow brick method which is available in forum. u v to search for it.
I had the same symptom as what you already described, regretfully and sorry but your phone is hard bricked, its not dead, just hard bricked. Sent for repair, it is cheaper than buying a new phone. trust me if you love your phone, it doesnt harm your money just for repair. But ask the repairer if it cheaper to just unbrick the phone because some repairer charge more for flashing the stock firmware after unbrick so basically
(jtag unbrick + flash stock firmware = $) then after the phone arrive and you can already access download mode then use the unbricking guide to restore firmware.

Hi
I have read and tried many of posts here, and other forums, to make my phone work again, but nothing does the trick.
It is about 8 months old, and as of 2 days ago, the top menu (the one you pull down) stopped working, being a windows man, i thought a restart would fix it, but it just made it worse.
Now the phone won´t turn on at all, there is no charge icon when its plugged in, it aint being detected by the computer, the charger gets hot tho, so i suspect it IS charging .. something.
i cant reboot it with the vol up/down + power, the screen is just black.
Tried removing battery while its plugged in and putting it back
Tried removing the battery and turning it on
Tried removing SIM card and turning it on
Tried .. many things
Any suggestions is welcome.

Hi
I have an International version of N7105 running stock 4.1.2 unrooted. Yesterday, I tried to update Android with OTA. After a few hours download for the 800Mb update, it prompted for installation. The installation started with a green Android icon on the screen. The phone was on charger for the whole time. Once the installation is done, it prompted for reboot. The phone never come back since then.
Press Down+Home+Power does nothing, in fact, none of the buttons do anything (hard bricked ?). I also tried all button combinations while the phone is plugged to the computer, it still did not boot.
I fully charge the battery again with another charger and tried the buttons again. Nothing happened. I left the phone there over night without charging. This morning, the battery was flat (tested it on my friend's N7100). That means there might be something trying run even thought the screen did not turn on, which consumed all the battery power.
May I know if there is any way to revive the phone ?
Tried to remove the battery?
Then, replace the battery and try power + volume-up (or was it down?) again
"Press Down+Home+Power does nothing"
I have tried those key combinations. Nothing happened.
I also made one USB jig using micro USB connector and 300k resistor. It can put my friend's N7100 into download mode. But does nothing on the N7105.
recovery mode

power, home and volume up simultaneaously. it may take a few tries to get it exactly right.

Thanks for the advice. If the above key combination works, it is called soft bricked. Hard bricked means the unit is does not respond to any key combinations.
Hello,
Ill tell you a short story how I got this phone bricked.
So i got a OTA update to 6.0.1 (as I remember) and the phone started acting crazy. "system UI stopped working" message showed up once an hour and after that phone reboots. I got tired of my phone rebooting all the time so Ive decided to root it and install a custom ROM. Ive successfully rooted it, instelled TWRP and flashed a HTC M8 google play eddition rom on my phone. Everything was smooth except that it didnt recognize the SIM card and (again) it kept rebooting once an hour out of nowhere (this time the restart was immediate. No "system UI has stopped" message appeared). So i flashed another rom.. (silly me). I flashed a M8 HD Revolution rom because it was the most popular one and I thought it will fix all my problems. I flashed it successfully, the phone booted, it started optimizing apps and then shut down. I tried to turn it on again, it started optimizing apps again and after it finished optimizing ir shut down again. And that was the last time I saw my phone atleast trying to boot.
After all that I tried all the button combinations (vol up + power, vol down + power, vol up + vol down + power), Ive red alot and tried the same combinations with different timing. IT WONT BOOT INTO BOOTLOADER. adb and fastboot commands does not work also. When I connect my phone to a pc i was able to hear a windows connection sound, after 5-10 secs i hear a disconnect sound, after 5 secs it connects again, and disconects again ang again and again.... I managed to screen shot my device manager screen and saw Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 in the device list appearing and disappearing every 10 secs. I googled it and found some info that I might have hard bricked my htc. I didnt have much time at that moment to dive into the ocean of information and decided to leave my phone connected to a charger overnight. NOW my phone is dead (100%). No flashing lights, no *connected/disconnected to a pc* sound, the screen is black, it wont turn on - no signs of life..
Is there anything that I can do? (the warranty is voided)
Could it be that the battery was damaged and it was the issue of my phone restarting all the time?
Any help will be much appreciated
*dont mind my english*
Are you s-on or off? Its very hard to brick this device flashing ROMs with s-on.
Try leaving the phone on charger for a few hours, then hold power+vol up for a minute or so. Most folks don't realize you have to hold the buttons for so long in this "no boot" condition, and start to freak out. I've done it myself!

Ive tried your technique, few times actully. Phone does not want to show any indication of life. I might have flashed the rom on low battery I just found out that the cable I was using to flash roms ir damaged and does not function properly. Now Im using a new power cable to charge the device but still, no signs of life.
Thank you very much for helping

I left my phone to charge overnight and the LED light came on (Its a really good sign). At first it was flashing orange, later it was only orange and now its green, so that means that my battery was fully drained. However, I tried holdin power + vol up for atleast 3-4 minutes but nothing happened except that the LED light is not greeen nor orange anymore. If I connect my phone to a pc, in the device manager "Qualcomm HS-usb qdloader 9008" shows up for 20-30 seconds and dissapears, after few secs it reappears again and so on. I was looking for a solution for a few hours and I think I found a decent tutorial how to unbrick it but Im not able to find neccesary firmware for my phone because I dont know my CID (link: http://www.droidsavvy.com/unbrick-qualcomm-mobiles/). Any other ideas?
BTW, thank you very much for trying to help
I've never seen these "unbricking" guides work on this device. If you can't get to at least bootloader, you are probably looking at JTAG, new motherboard, or new phone.
Really, your best bet is to keep playing with the button combos with the charger attached and unattached.
I just wiped my phone with TWRP using the "advanced" settings and ticked everything. Obviously not a good idea as I think I have wiped everything including the ROM from my phone. Any idea how to get it going again? It just goes to the "Sony Xperia" screen and stays there when booting. I'm not sure how to get back into TWRP (i used to get there from a utilities app that restarted the phone into recovery). I have TWRP backup on my computer before I did the stupid thing...
Thanks for any help!
I've tried to flash from Emma and and Xperia Companion but I can't enter Flashmode (hold the volume down button and connect to computer). It just automatically turns on and shows the Sony/Xperia screen and the LED is solid RED.
I let it run down over night and still unable to enter Flashmode.
I assume TWRP is still there as it was the program that wiped the phone. Any ideas how I can get into TWRP?
The computer does not recognise the phone either. It was rooted and had an unlocked bootloader before it happened.
Thanks!
Hold power down and press power button. Release power button when phone vibrates but keep holding vol down until you see twrp logo. If you don't see it after maybe 10 seconds. If nothing happens you can try pressing power button and when you see led light keep pressing or holding (try both) vol down. If that doesn't work then you can try flashing with flashtool. You can check my thread for downloads and instructions

In sim card slot there is a small red button. Hold it down with toothpick or paper clip until you feel three vibrations. That will shut off your phone.
Now you can try Flashtool or Emma.
Thanks so far ... here is an update.
After letting it run down overnight it eventually let me get it into flashmode. Xperia Companion doesn't work (unlocked) but Emma is trying to work. It has taken a few hours to download the software as the phone only stays in flashmode for about 30 seconds but it was able to eventually download the software. Now it is trying to load it but it gets to 11% and the phone goes out of flashmode (but automatically re enters it without me doing anything) and the cycle continues. Is there any way to force it to stay in flashmode?
I've tried the suggestions above to get to TWRP but nothing seems to work.
I can think of 2 reasons. Either emma is broken (never used it, can't tell) or your connection to pc gets interrupted by bad cable or broken connector. Why don't you try flashtool instead of emma?

I wiped whole storage few times as he did (Without letting it run overnight tho) and you can't charge your battery without system or recovery. If your battery drains in this situation you are SOL
yeah I think that is my problem. The phone won't charge and that's why it only stays on for 30 seconds before losing connection.
Can I charge the battery out of the phone? I know it a pain to pull out ... but I've done it before as it needs changing every 12 mths or so.
Not sure about that. I mean there has to be a way to charge it outside phone but you would need special equipment since you can't just use random charger. Since you said you charged your batteries before you could try to use one of them and hope that they have charge in them for flashing. I saw that @munjeni has a lot of experience with this phones hardware so you could try and contact him and ask if he knows about contact points on motherboard for charging
Ok. Got it going again eventually. Not sure exactly what I did that made it work but FYI these are the things that I did that seemed to help:
Charged it on my ASUS tablet charger today - seemed to do a better job than the other charger I was using (it was a Nokia). It seems to hold a very small charge but was not charging the battery properly. Hooked it up to Emma which had already managed to download the software and put the phone under my laptop (trying to warm the battery to squeeze everything our of it). 355 seconds later it had copied the software and the phone was able to turn on normally again. The phone was getting to about 60% of the software copied across before I used the ASUS charger and the heating the phone technique.
BTW I couldn't get flashtool to work. It recognised the phone but stopped saying USB debugging was off.
Thanks for everyones help!!
So my phone was hardbricked for sometime, everytime i tried to connect to my pc it would get recognised as 900e and not 9008 no matter even when i tried using deep flash method so i updated the driver to 9008 in device manger and tried spamming the download in qfil and it flashed to 100% successfully but my phone still was dead and wouldnt turn on then after the battery went dead when connecting to the charger the phone came to life finally but here comes the present issue its stuck on your phone is unlocked and cannot be trusted and wont boot screen and would boot after 5 secs but that never happens it turns off instead i cant even go to fastboot or recovery by pressing volume buttons nothing happens if i just press power button it only shows the message only when connected to power can anyone guide me through this please its so annoying seeing nothing work for me ive went through 1000 of guides and stuff but nothing seems to work i just want to revive my phone again
