Have you tried hard reset?
Press power and vol up for 10-15 sec, you'll get three vibrations, then try to start your phone again.
What update , btw?
Are you on official rom 4.0.4 or custom?

Don't think it's a hard brick, probably just soft brick.
If hard reset doesn't help, conect xs to pc and wait for hour or two, then try to go in fastboot mod.

Well xs is very tough phone, so it's very unlikely it's hard bricked but....
Connect it to charger over night, don't touch it or try to start up, just leave it for 15-20 hours and I'm sure it'll work.
Sometimes when battery discharge the phone wont go to off-line charging mod so it can't boot.
Try this and and let me know tommorow, just be patient and it'll start, you'll see.
Hang on buddy...

You didn't wrote, which rom u use?, are u on stock or custom, I guess it's stock because of that update...
It's strange that you din't have to press ok or something like that before update starts...
Are u sure you battery didn't discharge during update process?

Do nor disassemble nothing, you couldn't loose warranty.
But if you root your device, you must unroot it before gi to service.
But it's not possible now so I think you will have to pay service...
But I suggests better pay service, if you take your battery out and that doesn't help, you have to go to service and they will charge you more.
Maybe they will flash firmware and maybe, just maybe don't realise it was rooted.

Leave it on charger. Of course, first check do you have working charger.
As you pull your battery out, that's like hard reset. If it boot, even for a second it's ok, it'll work.
Try connect it to pc, hold vol up key then plug the other end in pc, if nothing happened, charge it again.
Leave it on charger until it boot by it self.
If it takes 48h, then leave it, it'll work.

Prepare file for flashing, try to download offical ICS, prepare fastboot tool and wait, when your phone wakeup connect it like I said before, flash off ICS, you'll now have offline charging so connect it to charger and that should be it.

Just try everything first, I doubt thaet cpu or motherboard issue, it's probably soft brick but it's hard to tell.
Sometimes, especially when update fails, phone wont charge, it can't go to offline charging and you have to charge it for a very long time.
You aren't the first one, just go to forums and you'll see, in 90% it's soft brick.
Prepare those files I mentioned and try couple of times to boot in fastboot mode.
Only, recheck what como of keys is for that, vol down+power or volume up+power, I think I didn't said right the first time, think it's up for flash mode and down for fastboot mode.
Just google that...
Good luck mate...

the device gives no heartbeat, no charge, no power on. The PC does not recognize it when plugged into USB.
The device died ...

You need to manually enter recovery. I don't have that phone so I don't kbiw if that rom is even the correct rom for your phone. To enter recovery on most devices hold volume up, home button and power. Roms are flashed in recovery not apps.

Search man. Dont give up yet. Are you 100% sure that rom u tried to flash was for your device? If it wasnt then yes u may have a brick. If you're sure it was thwn keep searching there may be hope still. Maybe even try the method u used to root in tge first place?
? http://bit.ly/18WHgY4 ?
It might bricked
At first make sure your battery is healthy and try to charge it,then use one of unbrick methods available,take your phone to download mode and flash one of official p936 *.KDZ roms
it's better to flash android 2.3 versions for unbricking

Yeah not good. Basically the phone is an expensive paper weight now. I had the same thing happen to me a few months back and had to get a new phone. Your options:
1. Contact your phone company and see if it can be handled under warranty.
2. Contact LG.....same thing.
3. Spend $50-$100 on having a third party fix your phone.
4. Buy an expensive j-tag box and hard restore your ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1628254&page=1

2 hours is enough. At some point it will try to boot. Then put it in flashmode and flash with Flashtool the ROM. Do not try to power it on. Wait,it will try to boot by himself.

Okay, so recently installed the 4.4.2 OTA on my completely stock nexus 7 (unrooted, bootloader still locked).
Tried connecting to my PC via bluetooth (for headset) and noticed that it wasnt working (was working on 4.4), so decided that maybe a reboot would fix the problem.
And now the tablet doesn't boot. Completely unresponsive, no charging icon etc. either. Tried holding down the power button, power and +/- vol for 20+ secs to no avail. Connecting the tablet to my laptop makes windows update search for the QHSUSB_DLOAD driver. From what I've read this is supposed to be some sort of hardbrick?
I left the tablet completely stock and haven't done any tinkering except use the Wugfresh toolkit to do a backup (which only needed USB debugging on). Also the battery was definitely 60%+ before I attempted rebooting.
Help please? This is completely out of the blue seeing as I never even unlocked the bootloader or anything?
Please help!

Gone through both of them, tried the steps in the first one but I cant get to fastboot, still a blank screen and QHSUSB_DLOAD in device manager. The second one mentions in it's FAQ that the bootloader must be unlocked before using it? Mine was locked so I guess I cant use that method?

Hmm, well, last ditch would be to charge it overnight, and hold the power button down for several minutes, if that doesn't do it, you may have to just use the warranty.

Alright so still no dice. Warranty is out of the question because I bought an imported version off eBay before it was officially available on Google play here in India.
From what I've understood this may be recoverable. People have made fixes for some HTC devices etc. Basically if someone could makes a "QCN" backup from a working device I may be able to restore the bootloader using the Qualcomm drivers. Or would this tool be of any use?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1308546
Not too familiar with all this low level flashing stuff - so need a second opinion. Will try again today evening, leaving it unplugged this time.

Yeah, I don't know much about that either, sorry, I'm not going to be much help there.
Ok, am I the first person with this problem? When the device is plugged in to the PC and I try holding down the buttons (tried almost every combo I could think of) the disconnect/connect sound plays and the tablet is re-detected by device manager as QHSUSB_DLOAD. Im extremely disappointed that this can happen even without screwing around with the system.
The warranty card with the tablet seems to imply international warranty although not specifically stated, it's from the US, so would taking it to an Asus center in India be of any use?

Downloaded them, I think a USB driver is needed for the tablet to show up as a COM port, I've tried a few drivers but QPST Configuration was unable to connect. Even if it were able to connect I dont know what to do after that, it seems that some device-specific hex/qcn/xml files are needed and this is the mode the manufacturer uses when flashing the bootloader. Does this mean that my bootloader somehow magically corrupted itself?!

okay, i think i found a solution. search the factory image for the bootloader and flash with fastboot
try following the instructions here
http://forums.androidcentral.com/go...1477-guide-nexus-7-factory-image-restore.html
use "fastboot flash bootloader ****************#####***###*#.img" when you find the bootloader
GOODLUCK:good:
Or you can't get it to fastboot mode also?

That's exactly the thing, it doesnt get into fastboot mode or anything, I assume you need a working bootloader to be able to boot fastboot? If it was in fastboot I would have attempted this already.
Anyway the seller says that the item is covered under a 1 year international warranty, thats my only chance now I guess....
The thing that concerns me is that I was completely stock, locked bootloader and unrooted. Only installed the official OTA updates (no sideloading either).
For those who are interested - I finally had time to drop by the service centre. They replaced the battery and motherboard (it was under warranty). I was expecting them to do some magic with QPST or something though.
The same has just happened to me, but I'm out of luck, the warranty has expired.
Did anyone have managed to fix it with the QPST drivers?
thanks.

Hey guys,
So i wanted to do a factory reset on my Phone before i calibrated my new replaced battery.
To clear all battery stats, coordinates and normalize charging.
I tried doing it through hboot, which seemed to work.
The problem was it lasted longer then an hour and it seemed to be stuck in a loop or something, although im not quite sure.
I decided to turn it off, i tried again but the Phone didn't respond to anything i did.
Cant power it back on or get in hboot, the red led doesn't light up if i plug it into the wall or the pc.
When i plug the phone into the pc,
Windows does make that recognition sound it makes when pluging devices into the usb port.
Can i get my phone working again, i just got the battery replaced.
Or did i screw up my phone.

Throw it away..get a new (second hand one) on eBay. £30.
Job done....
The fault is obviously the battery from what you have said. Send it back and complain..
What happens if you hold volume down and power...
Well the thing is i got some important stuff i need on the phone so i really would like to bring it back to live if possible.
When i hold down the volume down and power button nothing happens.
The weird thing is i already had the battery replaced with a new one and it worked absolutely fine.
Its when i did a factory reset it seemed to be stuck in a loop or something cause it took forever to finish resetting so i turned it off,
and now it doesnt turn on at all. The little led light doesn't turn on when i plug it into the wall.
When i plug it into the pc though, windows makes the sound it always makes when plugging something into a usb port.
But when i press the power button (or hold it) it makes the same sound as when you would disconnect the Phone from the usb-port.
Its as if windows recognizes im trying to turn the Phone on and off.
Could turning off a Phone while in the process of a factory reset really kill the battery?
Kinda hard to believe if you ask me but then again i dont really know, thats why im asking here .
Thank for the reply though, its appreciated.

Years ago when rooting my One X+ it ran out of battery...
This was a total nightmare because it couldn't charge without an OS or while in bootloader......
This does actually sound like what's happened, your phone has totally discharged while factory reset...no matter how weird that sounds.
I found a script/program/batch file (I can't remember which one) that continually switched the phone on and off via my PC that actually recharged the battery....I know it sounds mad but it worked and it is a workaround for this very common problem.
See if you can find that script/program, it on XDA somewhere for the One X+ maybe it's for the X also......it may well work

And lastly....I think you should try this first...just hold down both volume up and down and power button....until it reboots. It should boot to boot loader then you can power down and recharge...it might not work though as you tried volume down and power button....once again Good Luck
Alright i'll give it a go,

So ive read the link you posted, seems like it could work.
But i have no idea how to go about it, ive never flashed a rom or rooted a phone before
Im totally new to xda-developers.
Should i go through all the 5 steps and would following those 5 steps change the os of my Phone?
Would it be possible to just follow the first step (descibed bellow) until the Phone has been charged and then try to get in HBOOT?
1. Get the follow Fastboot-battery-recharge.rar and place it in the samefolder as your ADB files.
- It will restart your phone every X seconds and so it can be charged while the black screen is on, this can take HOURS (It gets 2mV by every reboot)!
ADB files?
Hope you have the patience for a greenhorn like me

OK I think you can just download HTC Sync manager and that will install the right drivers. It certainly won't hurt....so Google HTC Sync manager....let it install.
Power your one x up go into settings, power, turn off fast start up/boot....
Then still in settings go to Developer options and turn on USB debugging...
Plug your phone up to your computer and choose charge only..
I will pick this up tomorrow as its past midnight here but I will walk you through it as I will root my one x at the same time as writing your instructions....I'm a bit rusty....I root once a year and always forget how to do it!!
The next thing you do is open up the adb folder and a cmd window.....but as I said wait till tomorrow

Just plug it in to charge overnight (on mains not your pc)
In the morning whilst still plugged into the mains hold all the buttons down until something happens!! Shouldn't be more than a minute but don't give up hope on that....also change your USB cable if you can.....will carry on walk-through tomorrow.
I hope that works....

Also tried using different USB-cable and even another adapter (same model).
Still nothing happens.

That's a shame, it means we've got to carry on!!
So download and install these 64bit drivers:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2217384
I know they are old but so is the phone!! And because there's no power to the phone we can't easily determine if the sync manager has installed the right ones.
More instructions to follow this evening..

This is better because the sync manager is only bloatware!! It just has the drivers included so it was easier than extracting the drivers.....but just installing the drivers is a lot cleaner.
Will help you a bit later, not in front of my pc, just on my phone at moment.....

Just to add to your post:
Drivers for One x and older devices was purged a few years ago from recent versions of sync manager.
So you would be wasting your time downloading and installing it to discover the phone is not detected..and maybe H.W. Plainview already tried this :silly:

Even if i would download the drivers separately.
Is there something else i could do to get my Phone working again?
I'll still give eskimosound's idea a try, just in case
HW, I'm going to have to sort this tomorrow for you...we just have to put the sdk folder on your C: Drive root....then put the script file .exe in the folder and run it from there. The problem we have is whether your PC will recognise it's got the phone plugged into it powered down without it being in fastboot.....you may need more assistance because my skills are limited!!!
I have a spare day tomorrow to sit down and sort through it properly.
In the mean time find a tutorial on installing the sdk folder....
This is the only way I can think to fix it apart from sending it back to HTC!......keep searching as there are loads of threads on it...

So this is what I THINK you do.....
Unzip the Android Slim SDK anywhere but desktop is good.
Plug you phone into your PC via usb.
Copy and paste the Fastboot-battery-recharge.rar into the Platform Tools folder. (That's inside the unzipped Android Slim folder)
Unzip it!
Whist in platform tools folder hold down shift, right click and open a command window.
Type: adb reboot bootloader.
With a bit of luck your phone may spring to life...
I think next just run the Fastboot-battery-recharge.exe
(I haven't looked inside this RAR so am not sure what to click on but it should be self explanatory, you can always ask on that thread) and follow instructions...
Tell me what happens!!
It will work, it's what XDA do, fix things!!!
