Hey,
Last Week my HTC died. It turns off and won't start anymore.
No light, nothing.
Battery is at 30% as it shut down.
Power + vol up / down doesn't work. No recovery mode..
In the Device Manager i found the HTC, named "QHSUSB_DLOAD"
Is it Bricked?
I found this Thread but it's for the M7, not M8 :

Many Thanks,

I am not HTC Expert, but from what i know, it maybe got motherboard failure, maybe u should go and get replacement. If u got no root, and it randomly went off and not get on back again, it's for sure then a hardware failure, it mostly is caused from the motherboard. Also, your screen might be damaged too, the cable that is connected to a port to light up screen, maybe something there popped off, so ur screen went full black? also, try to take battery off, and back on again and start the device like u normally do, and find a way to get your phone make sound or vibrate, im sure there is a way, if it doesnt work, it's for sure from what i know, hardware failure.
Anyone would say same i guess, good luck.

Hi.
My Artemis doesn't turn on, and doesn't even charge.
I don't know what has happened, it was in suspend mode, i pressed the power button, and the screen lights up all white.
I had to remove the battery to turn it off.
Now it doesn't do anything. I tried the soft and hard reset, but to no avail.
Is it dead?
PS: I left it without battery for a couple of hours, and it turned on, but then the screen turns all white, and it's dead again.
boot problem
Hi,
I have the same problem.
It doesn´t turn on and it doesn´t charge.
I don´t know how to flash the artemis. I can not enter in bootloader mode and I can´t sync it because activesync doesn´t work.
I remove the battery too but it turns off. I tried a soft and hard reset but
It does nothing.
any solution? please
Thank you
had a similar problem last month too. sent it back to htc authorised service dealer and was diagnosed with a faulty motherboard. luckily, it's still under warranty and they changed the MB. all functioning well now..
I've had five different motherboards and I'm still in trouble - I suspect there is a bad batch out there, as my original worked fine for about six months.... since then (its a long story.....)
Hy.
I have the same problem, can't even start by bootloader, sincer my batterry run out, i can't power up my artemis, any reason why ?
The battery is full .I tested on another artemis .
Edit: The only wrong thing I guess i did was flashing it to a touch rom, but it was all good till it run out of battery, if I sent htc to the warranty, they won't fix my problem because of the rom right ?
Hey Guys..
I have a Desire here in my Hands with a strange type of Brick.. (at least one I've never seen before) ..
It just does not react to anything at all. The battery is charged and I tested with another cell to be sure that is not the trivial cause.
No Bootloader, No HTC Logo, No reactions at all..
Did happen while flashing a Froyo 2.2 Rom + Radio + App2SD (from the xda forums) via ClockworkMod Recovery but I wasn't there to witness the actual Flash.
After flashing the device hung desperately in a screen with the robot in front of a box with an arrow .. looked like unpacking or so, but wasn't doing anything at all for at least half an hour.
Then battery removed -> Brick.
Anyone got any Idea?

I suspect you removed the battery whilst it was flashing the radio. This is insta-brick territory and as far as I'm aware there is no cure other than sending it in to HTC.

If you can access fastboot as opposed to bootloader you might be talking failing that back to HTC it goes
if your phone can not turn off whilst holding either volume down or the back button then yeah it's a brick, send it off to htc, just say it overheated and wont turn on again

The battery was removed after flashing and rebooting.
Installed in the following order:
32.41.00.32U_5.08.00.04.zip
LeeDrOiD_V1.2b.zip
942_desire_froyo_a2sd-signed.zip
every process seemed to work normal, no error happened.
Then rebooted the Desire and the "Box with Android-Bot" Screen appeared.. this hung for 30 min or more when I could not think of any other solution than removing the battery to reset..
After this -> nothing.
I suppose as you say it has to do something with the Radio ROM..
Been coming from OpenDesire 1.6b - every flash ran perfectly up to this point.
Damn, I think this one has to go back to HTC.
Is there any possibility to unbrick a phone thats not responding at all?
Could HTC be aware of the modifications or will they really just go with the "overheated and won't turn on again" explanation?
Thanks for your help so far guys!
Yea, the little Droid with the box thing is during a radio flash and you should never pull the battery during that as it does result in a brick.
Can you reach fastboot as mentioned up above?
..tried pressing the "back" button with the power button and the vol-down button together with the power button..
even did the "insert the battery while holding the button" method..
I don't think I can get the thing to Fastboot..
But I will look further into this and try..
..
Has anyone had a Radio Brick and sent this to HTC before?
Is the repair covered by warranty?
Do you guys think they even get this is no real HW failure?

I know someone who sent their phone back with a pretty much identical issue and the phone was fixed under warranty no problem.
Regards,
Dave
yay!
you know, even one post of you telling me it went allright for another guy is a big relief..
EDIT: just wanted to let you know I tried invoking fastboot via usb and the android PC tools..
just keeps waiting for the device.. and waiting ..
..will analyse USB traffic in general to conclude if there is a little itsy bit of life left in the phone, but I think this is a dead end too.
thank u all for ur help i have managed to unlock the phone as described
thanks alot every1
saifiraq: You seem to have stumbled in the wrong thread or could we help by coincidence?
..UPDATE:
Did usb-sniffer analysis while pulling battery, trying to turn on, plugging usb in etc.
NOTHING at all..
My baby is on it's way to HTC now.. wish me luck guys!
i have a a100 with the latest flexreaper rom installed and im stuck with a pretty serious issue:
a couple of days ago the tab was acting real slow and sluggish and getting bad battery life didnt think nothing of it so i just rebooted a couple times and left it alone . all was good untill the battery hit 10% and i plugged it up using the factory ac adapter. the next day (maybe 6-7 hours later) i went to turn it on and nothing no vibrate no screen flash nothing; other than the power button turning blue as i pressed it and it would stay on for a couple hours but still no other response from the tablet.
im at my wits end on what could be wrong and now i got my wife with her foot on my neck till i get it fixed. can anyone help me?
ive tried to do a hard reset with the reset button tried to boot into recovery /bootloader no dice
(also my home button flashed a couple time i pressed the power button) dont know if its relevant but wanna get as much info out as possible
wondering if anyone can help me...

It may take awhile for someone to see this and form something to try, random bricking for no reason is rare, its almost always some error by the user. However have you attempted adb connection to it? Leave it powered off, connect to the PC you used to unlock the boot loader then power on. Does the PC make the USB connect sound? Does the Acer vibrate? Did the home key blink again?
It really sounds like your boot partition is wrecked which wouldn't normally happen outside of flashing. If boot loader is trash then it won't know what to do and just sit there. No recovery or anything else.

it made something like the connect sound but instead of the regular duh doom sound it did a dadadoom (kinda hard to describe the sound) but it was faster than ive ever heard the connect sound before which is weird. the tab didnt vibrate and it seems the home button blinks when the tab is dead and needs recharged

Yeah I know that sound it means USB connected but error for some reason. Its been shown if this thing dies all the way down it wont read the battery correctly and probably needs to be sent in. Before that I personally would unplug it open it up and remove the battery for awhile, maybe an hour then put it back and plug it in. But thats me, not the advice I'm giving. If you have warantee on it use that.
The batteries on a lot of devices and laptops etc have something of a fail safe, if the voltage drops below a certain point it trips to prevent cell damage, however it renders the battery useless.
I haven't searched out much past that if a reset is possible by us, but it seems the pack is trash after or needs sent in.
Since this is a sealed unit you void warranty opening it (well unlocking the boot loader did too) so you can't send it in for repairs without paying for it.
I hope someone can jump in and help figure this out, and prove me wrong.

Weird, This exact same thing happened to me. Used it in the morning and now after work it won't turn on. I had already tried disconnecting the battery, but hadn't thought to leave it disconnected for an hour. My tablet has been running the leaked ICS since it came out and The last factory reset it had was about a month ago. It was working fine up until this. The power button seems to be responding correctly, the issue is that after the LEDs light up, there is no vibration or display. I hope someone can help us with this issue.
EDIT:
It won't connect in ADB mode. It will only appear on my computer as an APX device and since there is no vibration I am unable to boot into fastboot. Any help or suggestions? All the threads I have found have involved booting into fastboot.
i am also having this problem. i set ti backup last night to save to box i turned it on this morning it.worked set it on the charger came back to a frozen screen. I turned it off now just a black screen it turns on or the home button dose but nothing comes up on the screen
same thing here.

I have been using ICS the leaked one, and last night I was goint to check my email and it did not turn on, I though the battery died. I plugged to the charger and this morning I tried to turning it on but it failed. I did the reset pin but nothing. I connected to the computer and it was recognized as a APX device and installed a driver ACER Picasso USB recover but i cant access anything. I am a nob. Thanks
A100 blackscreen
i am also having this problem. last night. just a black screen it turns on or the home button dose but nothing comes up on the screen. :crying: Help!!!!!!
Has anyone tried holding the power button for a while? Laptops do this too, if someone felt ventures, try taking the battery out and hold the power button. No promises, might work.
sent from my ICONia
same here
Having the exactly same issue, here...
I also tried to hit the hardware reset button and it does not help.
If the screen is blank while powered on its in failsafe mode, in other words is bricked, has to go to Acer.
Tapatalked from my Galaxy S II.
This just happened to me a few weeks ago as well. If you are still under warranty send it in to Acer, thats what I did. I just got an email saying they had fixed it and were sending it back for free!!
At the time I was on the 9/02 JB build. I wonder if this issue is caused by faulty hardware or if it is an issue that was made by rooting and unlocking it? I don't know enough about this stuff to answer that though, but it does make me think whether I should root/unlock it when I get it back or leave it stock.
Also thanks Pio_masaki for helping me a few weeks back wasn't sure if I was even going to send it in until you said they most likely won't be able to tell.
I highly doubt they even CARE when sending these in. They will void for physical damage most likely.

Ohmygod,
Same here, but it's 3 years ago. Sorry for digging the topic. Still no hope? I still keep the tablet and have just buy another refurbished mainboard to replace but still no vibrate and blacksreen still there.
Hi @ all,
I have a big problem with my Desire.
I rooted it and installed AOKP Build 39 on it. Everything went fine, no problem up to this time. I did several restarts, everything ok.
Now, today the phone suddenly turned black, no reaction to any command. So I pulled the battery, put it back again, and then, nothing happened.
My desire only shows a black screen, none of the buttons are working (even Vol- + Power or trackball+Power). Even more suspicious is, that the loading LED is not showing up, although my phone is connected to the loading cable.
I really don´t know what to do. Does anybody of you have an idea what the problem could be?
PS: right now ist started vibrating (endlessly...)

I think that you can begin with construction bussiness, cause you have a nice and expensive brick...
Sent from my HTC Desire via flashes and thunders
Trackball + power isn't supposed to do anything, back button + power is.
But anyway if volume button + power doesn't work and that one neither, I think it's a brick as nlooooo said. Also because the LED isn't working. What does it do when connected to PC? Nothing I assume?
Yes, unfortunately connecting it to the PC does nothing.
What do you think, any chance to get it replaced?
if its still under warranty then u could chance sending it back to htc, just say u tried turning it on in the morning and... nothing just black screen. do NOT say anything bout s-off etc etc. im mean if ya cant even access hboot or no led lights or anything how will they know mite aswell try
dont forget take out ur sdcard incase they look at it n find a rom lol

No battery is not the problem. The same thing with another battery.
I´m still in waranty period, so I´ll have a try
Thanks for your help.
Can anybody imagine why this happend? I mean the rom was working proberly, no errors during flashing, etc. And can a faulty rom/flash cause a fail of even the loading led?
I always thought that such "simple" things as loading are done directly by the hardware without any influence of the software installed on the phone (especially as loading has to work even if the phone is switche offline)

I think it's a big hardware prob. Can u boot into android, even if the screen's dead? Maybe u can provide the devs with a logcat.
Our G7 can be troublesome sometimes......
Maybe it´s a problem of the mainboard. As i cannot even switch on the phone. when I press the power button nothing happens. So, no logfiles.
I´ll send it to the producer tomorrow.
Did you get it fixed?
Hey there. i used my htc one x (international version) for a half year with the android revoloution hd latest custom rom. it worked just fine. latley, during a phone call with a friend, my phone just died. completley died, cant get any response. tried to turn it on, press the power button for some mintutes, and all possible button combains. the computer doesnt recognize it (nor even as unknown device), there is no sign form the phone, even when it connect to the charger. in a lab we tried to replace the screen and the battery, but it just not seems as an hardware issue. i suspect it some kind of software issue, mainly because in its last days it started acting strange, restarting and turning off by itself.
if anyone here know a way to relive this phone, i will be so thankful. but thanks anyway.

hi! well, if you keep power button pressed and after some seconds the capacitive buttons don't light up and flash and if you cannot wake it with any buttons combination, i fear it broke down and it's an hardware issue... if you are under warranty you can send it to repair service, maybe they won't notice it's rooted and with a custom rom but if they do they might charge you a fee
