Hello!!i did a silly mistake while re flashing lewa os 5.1 in my nokia xl!!! When i was about to wipe the data...accidentally i formatted my memory card too(in which the rom was)..after that it said "no os installed do you wish to reboot?" and when i rebooted my phone was stuck on nokia logo!! I took it to a repair center and i ended with a useless brick !! My phone doesn't even vibrate when i press the power button...what shall i do now??!! Any options..rather than buying a new one?? Plz help!!
Hi,
I'm not sure how you got bricked based on what you did... Unless the repair shop bricked it? In which case I'd be talking to the owner of the shop about that. But it if it won't power up whatsoever, you could be stuck.
But I will have your thread moved to your device section for other ideas.
Good luck!
i suggest u take(?) back to nokia care services, my phone just vibrate when i press power button, not show up anything, no screen, no bootloop
after 4 days from nokia care it's fly again, using cm11 with some bugs
hey bruh! I'm from pokhara,Nepal! don't think we've got Nokia care service center here!!! but if i find one i'll surely take there thanks!
#darth
ya..when i messed my phone the only thing i could see was the "nokia" logo!! i took it to a repair center then the man said it would take 1 month! i am familiar with software issues..unless its a bricked one ! thought he was messing up my phone! i asked it back and then it was useless...it didnt charge nor it opens!! i regret what it did back then now
anyway thanks for your help mate
hey!! was ur phone rooted back then when you took it to nokia care?? plz reply

Did you try the Nokia Care Suite to flash the original Nokia ROM? This would be the first option to recover your phone. Check this thread if not already:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2666410
You could also try with Nokia_X_Toolkit_v1.20 while your phone is started and shows the Nokia logo. Choose let's say option 12 in Nokia_X_Toolkit_v1.20 and hit enter. In case you are lucky you could enter Clockworkmod and flash another ROM from a zip file.
Another option would be to try with the Nokia_X_Flasher. You would need to start the Nokia_X_Flasher with your phone connected to the PC. Then start the phone with pressed Power and the volume down button and hold for around 20 seconds. Nokia X flasher might be able to detect your phone so that you could flash a ROM file.
my pc detects it sometimes but says unidentified device later on...and my phone doesnt show a nokia logo...thinking of taking it to nokia care

Hi,
I was flashing a new CM7 theme on my 2 weeks old DZ (with CM7 RC 2 running fine) but the phone got stuck at the CM bootscreen. I tried rebooting multiple times by repeatedly pushing the power button and holding it. After a few failed attempts I pulled out the battery, and after putting the battery back in and trying to power it on the phone did nothing. No matter which buttons I pushed or held in.
I tried plugging it in to the power adapter, but the Power LED's don't even go on (neither the orange or the green one). The battery was at approx. 60% when I rebooted into recovery to install the theme zip, so there should be enough power left in the battery.
When I plug the DZ onto my PC (Windows 7 OS, with eclipse and Android SDK installed and working), the PC looks for a QHSUSB_DLOAD driver. I tried looking for the device through ADB but it doesn't see it.
Please help me guys, I've had the device for only two weeks now.
PS: I'm a noob
Oh dear, that doesn't sound promising. Good luck!! We feel for you.
Anyone knows what steps to undertake to maybe revive the phone. I don't think it's totally dead since it's somehow still being detected by my PC. I just can't find that so called QHSUSB_DLOAD driver.
If I can just somehow get it to connect to ADB then I might be able to get into Hboot or recovery.
Have you checked http://developer.android.com/sdk/win-usb.html ?
Perhaps, donno for sure, it could help you

I hadn't, but already had these drivers on my PC. And before it got bricked my DZ connected fine with the PC (I flashed it using ADB and had setup Hboot and recovery). My PC just can't seem to find any drivers for this so called QHSUSB_DLOAD. It doesn't matter wich folders I choose to look for drivers. Nothing is available through internet either.
im having the same problem ... i tried several times but no luck... no LED... but u shud try pulling off the battery then put it in then press volumeUP+power button ..it will vibrate and red LED will start blinking .. i dont knw wat is it .. i connected it to PC ....windows asked for qualcom MSM driver .... i dont knw wat to do ..nd how to get bootload loader bak :S
if it does this, send it back to HTC.
the eMMC chip has failed (an unfortunately reasonably common situation, happened to me twice so far)
They'll fix it regardless of what roms you had on it etc. (unless you've done some hardware mods) i sent it in with cyanogen mod and s-off, they fixed it anyway
hope this helps!
Lol, I thought my topic died.
Since you guys revived it, might as well tell you what happened. I contacted T-Mobile and sent the Desire Z in for repair and it got repaired for free since I'd only had for two weeks back then .
After I got it back I rooted it and restored a NAND backup and everything 's been working fine since then.
they repaired it or they replaced it ?

I tried to unlock the bootloader on my device a little over a week ago - bricked it completely.
Had updated HBOOT and everything went fine - 'success' message appeared, etc.... Then my handset died and it wouldn't switch back on; it just flashed on and off repeatedly when powered on and I couldn't stop it, unless I pulled the battery. Couldn't access bootloader, couldn't do anything.
Took it to the local Three shop and they wouldn't touch it. So, I chanced my luck with HTC and was upfront about what had happened, i.e. I'd started the bootloader unlock process using their own HTC Dev software.
I've just got the 'phone back and they had to replace the motherboard. Haven't charged me for picking it up, via UPS, the repair OR sending it back to me, also via UPS.
I had hoped they'd ship back with the bootloader unlocked but they haven't! Doh.
Ah well, can't complain. HTC have definitely earned my gratitude, though, and I'll no doubt stick with them in future. I've just got to remove all the crappy pre-loaded software again.
so i basically have a bricked phone damn i needed it only phone i have n probably will have for awhile i had so much important #'s , notes , ext... im clueless to either tell HTC the truth or just buy another android phone idk :/
any ideas?? is it bricked or not i just need help why isn anyone paying this post any attention .. where is all the pros?

You haven't even given details. Did you root? Custom ROM?
Try flashing an RUU.
My experience
This weekend I bricked my phone almost also.
Just installed a new version of my ROM to test and then it hanged or so.
When trying power on (normally and with volume down), nothing happened and I got the 3 vibrates.
I removed my SD card and then the phone would boot again
I really hope I don't get that anymore
BTW: my SD card is really old, around 2 years or more (so that may be the cause)
Format your SD card, then see if that works

I ported a rom for the Nokia X, after flashing the ROM, the system starts succefully. But the sdcard can't be recoginized and I got a note to format the sdcard. So I clicked the button and "format the sdcard". After I restart the system. The system can't stat up again. When I plugin in the battery and press the Power button, I can feel the phone just vibrated as nomal. But after that the screen just shows black. There is no "NOKIA" logo shows out. I also can't use the volume and power key to make the phone boot into bootloader or recovery mode. So I think I may have formated the bootloader partion. Any body help? I may be the firt one to make nokia x truely bricked!:crying:

You, u know the first one. me :good:
In my case was trying to downgrade the bootloader from the v11.1.1 update and voila! Could be repair with Qualcomm QPST, but there is no leak or new version that support Nokia X (secure boot 3.0) so my version 2,7 Build 366 cant repair our phone yet.
At least here in Spain there is no support from Nokia Care until may-june so u have a stone until them :victory:

The nokia care suit can only woks on the downlaod(use the power button and volume down button) mode. But now my phone can't get into download mode. So it can't recovery my phone. QPST will be a good way, but I can't get the bootloader firmware data.

Just go into recovery and flash a previous backup. Ur nokia logo is showing so recovery probably works. If you dont have a backup use nokia care suite and flash a new firmware.

Go to the x2 thread. If there is a custom recovery for your phone backup using that. If its not avialable you have to wait for a dev to create a recovery.

I dont think bootloader can be restored using only usb connection.
Probably some other devices are available to service center like JTAG..doplhinclip...which can be used to re-write the boot partition
Lol, Im not alone in this.
Did same thing by accident. googled for how-to restore the phone. But it did not seem possible to be done. So I sent it to Nokia Care.
Those guys at the Nokia office laughed for a long time, when I told them a story " how I got a new shiny green brick ".
Told me the repairs would take 2 weeks and cost arond $30
_________ UPDATE____________
Called to Nokia Care. They fixed the phone by changing the celluar module ( maybe with the whole motherboard ).
That means that bootloader can not be fixed, at least for now.
BE CAREFUL
Well Nokia has just replaced my device with a new one after 3 weeks
I got my device back frm care center..
They replaced the motherboard...as the phone was dead they didn't knew i rooted my phone...n i claimed my warranty
