I had not yet updated to 5.0.2, was planning on it soon. Saw the update show up a little bit ago.
The battery was low, so I plugged it in. It seemed to be charging, was up to 22% I think. I went to Google Play to download a puzzle game. Anyway, the download stalled the tablet became unresponsive.... then it shut off and restarted. It went to the "Google" screen that shows on startup. (Still plugged in). I left it there assuming it would just finish the boot. But it didn't. I came back over an hour later and it was still there, with the Google screen. I waited another 30 mins... while watching it.
At that point, I felt safe that it really had stalled. I held the power button down to have it shut off fully. Then, it would not come back on. I've had it plugged in (very sure the charger works... we have 2 Nexus 7s, and the other charges just fine with the same adapater/usb cord. ) When I plugged the usb into my computer (Windows 7), the computer tried to install driver (I have connected it many times to my computer, have the proper drivers already installed). This time, it failed to have the right drivers.
I checked the Device manager and it shows a device "QHSUSB_DLOAD" , which is apparently my Nexus. I did a search here and only found that some people held their power button down for a minute and resolved it. (Tried it, didn't work). I can't get it to boot up at all, not into the bootloader or anything.
Any other suggestions? I used this thing a lot - did not mess with it much. I had long ago used wug's toolkit to root, and rooted again when the OTA broke root. But it has been a long time since I last used to the tooklit. It is hard to accept having a self-bricked tablet if I hardly did anything to brick it. If I had been messing with stuff and made some critical error and messed it up, then okay... I'd be made but accept it on account of my own stupidity. But this seemed to happen all by its lonesome.
I believe "QHUSB_DLOAD" is the end of the line for a Qualcomm chip, I say this because on my galaxy s3 (us) and my Sony Ericsson Xperia play "QHSUSB_DLOAD" ment that the device was bricked all the way and the only way to fix was a JTAG.
"QHSUSB_DLOAD" stands for Qualcomm high speed USB download mode, this usually happens when the boot loader and or trim area has been dameged or erased from the device leaving the soc with no instruction on how to boot, I also believe that Qualcomm or manufacturers are the only ones that can write to a device in this state.
Sorry about your misfortune and then again I might be wrong and it might be a easy fix but in my past experience with QCOMM devices this has been the case.
If your device is under warranty I would go ahead and send it in for repairs.

Never seen or heard about anything like this. I wonder if anyone encountered a similar situation.
I have a good reason to believe my phone is not bricked, although I'm not sure which is worse.
I'm not sure if it's related, but it might be worth mentioning here:
I noticed, since I started using this phone, that the battery level sometimes drops very fast. Normally the phone maintains normal battery level, but while opening "heavy" applications (e.g waze, google earth) or even during a phone call, It drains the battery out rapidly, roughly about one percent per two minutes. Sometimes even while connected to charger the phone shows a slight decrease in battery level. And it gets hot too.
Few hours ago, I turned it off to save some battery for afterwards, and since that moment it wont turn on. I tried several things.
I left it to charge.
I took the battery out and placed it back after a while.
I tried all possible combinations of the three physical buttons on the device.
I took out the sim card and the sd card.
At home I checked the battery, It shows normal voltage of 4.1V. I used several usb cables and measured the voltage between the battery connector inside the phone while the battery is removed. It indicates that the phone keeps charging the battery even while staying in this situation.
While plugging it to the computer, the phone is not even identified by it. It wont react to the computer just as if it's not connected at all.
Getting it to usb mode showed no result.
I have installed new roms on the device several times, yet more than a week has passed since the last time, and the phone worked fine since. except for the battery issue that I mentioned.
It was originally bought from T-mobile without contract, and it has a warranty assuming I would be able to bring it back to stock rom. Anyway, I'm using this phone in Israel and the nearest T-mobile service point is 10,000Km away, so I would do this as a last resort.
Hope for some advice, and may this post be able to help others that got in to similar situation.
Have you tried getting it into download mode? Disconnect from the PC, then keep both volume buttons + power button pressed while connecting the USB cable to the PC.

Phone won't turn on
Just had this same experience. I had just taken mine off the charger in the morning, booted it up and minutes later, it restarted on its own. Never came back to life. No possible combination of buttons, batteries, usb cables, ODIN running/not running would bring my phone to life. I mean I tried everything including the famous usb jig. Nothing. Sent it in to TMo and as it was within 30 days, they sent a new one which is running fine.
The problem is...
The phone is not recognized by any device, while being connected to usb. The only thing it does while plugged is to charge the battery, and that I can tell by measuring the voltage. It gives no visual indication, or respond to any button\connected device. Using that jig is the only thing I got left to do. I know it suppose to reset the counter. What else will it restart? My rom?, internal sd? the recovery partition? Can this physically damage the components on the phone's PCB?
And assuming the phone hardware is unharmed, are there any firmware malfunctions which are impossible to repair? (Generally I know there are, yet I'm asking specifically for these phones that comes with "download mode")
Had a situation where the device wouldn't turn on. Woke up one morning and it was still on the charger yet totally unresponsive.
Pulled the battery, waited 30 seconds and everything was fine.

I wish it was that way for me too, yet it was one of the first things I tried. and yet, Nada. Here are some news: I gave the jig a try, and it didn't seem to work either.
On contrary to most of the fully bricked cases I heard about, my phone wont be recognized by the pc at all while being connected to usb. Not even a "Faild to connect" message. That leads me to believe that it is either a dead Boot-loader or a hardware malfunction.
I made a little research, and found out that it is possible to connect the pc through some kind of adapter directly to phone's processor, using specific pins. It is a simple kind of serial connection called Jtag. Initial factory configuration of electronic devices is only one application of it.
For that process I need to have that device along with it's driver, a boot loader to flash (According to what I've seen the T989 is not yet supported by these softwares).
I need to have some nerves to open up my device and to solder some pins (And I also need that Jtag pinout).
Does anyone know about a better way of doing it other than sending the phone half world to the U.S?

Been coming here a while.. forums are nothing new to meh.. we'll skip the fact I just made this account and immediately made a thread ^^;
We'll get right to the details:
Had her since Autumn last year. Best phone I've ever used. No problems besides freezes I know I caused, etc.. never an issue. Til about October this year. Seen similar issues, looked for two months and found nothing close besides a Nexus 7 that physically needed its battery pulled for it to power on again. Anywho, here's how the moment went down: In the span of an hour or so, my GNex had crashed on me about three times... normally it'll do that maybe three times a day to three a week, depending how hotplugx on leankernel felt that day (having only one core on 90% of the time was pretty sweet). Was running the PA 3.99 based "Built With Love" ROM- the first build to incorporate any Saber stuff afaik- and the flat out 8.0 version of leankernel. Now.. the laast time she froze, the battery was already near dead, so when I popped it back in I plugged it up to the charger. All going as normal, right? Done this plenty from tinkering with kernels and seeing which android ROMs & versions I could hop back and forth to without wiping (had the current said setup for a month straight, surprisingly) Nope. It brings up the charging logo with the lighting bolt in the middle of the battery... and freezes there. Pulled out the cord, waited a bit and everything. Nada. Freaked out, I popped the battery. Went to put the battery back in and power it.. nothing. Okay, maybe that just killed the charge. Nope. Power cord fails to bring up any kind of light or charging animation. No screen activity. Will not boot into odin, recovery, or anything.
The ONLY signs of life still coming from this phone, are heat when it's on the charger, heat after 'USB jumping' the phone -after disconnecting the cord as well, and for at least two hours it continues producing heat- (had to do that when I first got it from Google) , and if I plug her into the laptop via USB WITHOUT a battery, it'll show as "OMAP 4440" for a split second in device manager.
Any more details will come from answering questions. As this happened over two months ago, I'm a little fuzzy on outright recalling details.
Cannot find this problem elsewhere at all. Either it's rare or I suck at looking around.
So I'm coming to you guys. Is she bricked? Stuck in charging.. idk what. Toolkits won't detect a device either, even after the USB jump when I know the battery is discharging and the phone is -technically- powered on.
If you guys could help me out for Christmas, even if it's to tell me she's busted, it would be so indescribably appreciated... <3
[Edit] Nabbed this really quick (attachment). Holding the button combo for download/odin mode has Windows searching this.
No battery inserted, as the dialog disappears and the taskbar pops with a bubble saying "device not recognized" etc. when the battery is put back in or is simply in it when plugged into the laptop.
Also to note: a third party battery yields the same results as the stock one. What kills me is Windows can see it, but aside from that and the heat production, it's essentially dead. What gives? :c
Shameful bump. Need to know if it's completely bricked, or possibly a hardware issue that's repairable or not.
Had to save up for over a year for this phone. Really need to figure out if it's gone or not. If it is, then I'll need to start saving for an N5, which I consider a downgrade ._. Can't beat the community support though, and that extra screen space :3
Aside from irrelevant blabble.. any answer would be appreciated. I can provide any additional information if need be, as well.
Have not seen this issue anywhere.
Bump..? :c
There's almost nothing on charge animation freezes. And what there is, the owner was able to boot their device with some simple workarounds.
If there's anyone who knows what's going on, even to tell me I'm a retard who bricked his phone, please do. Please.
Can't even afford glue to put my shoes back together. Saving up for another phone is impractical this year and probably next as well :\
Would I need the OMAP 4440 driver and some other stuff? If there's some way to push a boot.img to /boot while the phone is in this state, that would fix it..
I'm somewhat sure, at least. Since the kernel's in charge of that from what I understand.. any ideas?
Search for OMAP flash. I think your phone can be revived. i can't search right now but i believe there are some tutorial about OMAP flash of galaxy nexus. Good luck
Hello xba-developers!
>Device HTC One X
>Quad Core 1.5 Ghz processor
>16 GB memory
>Everything is stock, no rooting nothing.
I've been checking this forum for quite a while but just found the need to register obviously because of a problem which I cannot find solution to.
I've checked couple of forum posts like THIS and some others and they KINDA have solution but it's really vague for me and I'll explain why; the reason is that I'm a complete newbie to all this, I've never rooted a device don't even know what that means and all these custom ROMs and everything really confuse me. Plus, my computer can't pick up my phone and generally I don't quite know if the cause of my problem is the same as other posts (Even though the problem is same) which means the solution may be different.
PROBLEM
It was raining, I was outside, some moron bumped into me in the street and phone slipped out of my hand, fell into a pool of water. I took it out as soon as I could but it was all wet. I tried to turn off the device but it kept restarting it wouldn't power down! (When I pressed power off it would do just regular restart) then suddenly it started working but the thing is, BEFORE all of this battery was in 14%, after it magically started working battery was on 80% which means it must have shortened somewhere (Problem with battery). Then all of a sudden it started doing these weird things like turning on music all of a sudden, turning on screen, shutting down, restarting and so on... (The speakers pretty much weren't working but still there was music somewhere). Then it went into a boot loop, I tried to do recovery but it kept restarting even when I was pressing POWER + Volume down buttons.
Then what I feared the most, battery died. Whenever I connect to power source (no matter Computer or Wall charger) it automatically goes into boot loop, the device won't stop working at all it won't shut down nothing. Battery is out of charge and I can't charge the phone enough to do Factory Reset. I took it to Service center but they are having "holidays" because 8th march is women's day and then it's sunday...
I really hate the fact that the battery is sealed inside the phone! It becomes real headache in this situations I could just take the battery out and tried it out but NOPE, can't do that!
Plus it's my first android and it uses this mini sim card thing (which they happily shortened in the store) and I don't really have any other Android phones to use my card on since it's too small for older devices...
So, the question:
How do I charge my phone when it goes into boot loop every time I plug it in?
My PC can't recognize it (it makes the sound when you connect Flash device through USB and then in 0.5 sec makes the one when you disconnect that same device).
I just need my phone to work properly. Or at least start up!
Thanks to everyone who read this huge post and I'm really sorry if I missed one or another forum thread that describes my problem exactly (which is unlikely but still).
Thanks again, have a good day!

I would suggest replacing the Power Flex Cable and Battery as described. Hopefully it will fix your problem.

That seems to be exactly my problem! Thanks!
My Nexus 5x (bought 6 months ago) turned off unexpectedly while I was using it.
I was reading an email, when the screen suddenly stopped updating. It was totally unresponsive, no video (unless that I was seeing before the freeze) and no sound. I didn't have a way to bring it back.
After some seconds the screen turned off. I tried to turn the phone on, but I wasn't lucky. It didn't react to power button, usb, power cable, volume buttons combos, nothing. No vibration or sound.
I thought the phone was still on, so I disassembled it, I removed the back cover and the things that prevent the battery to be removed. I didn't removed the battery, but I detached the small cable that connected the battery and the phone, and then I attached it again. I reassembled it.
Then, still no results.
Can someone please help me? I'm using an IPhone 4s now (which I bought for 15€), and I feel such an horrible person...
Try plugging it into the wall charger for about 30 minutes then use the 3-button combo to get into the bootloader. I thought my 5X died one time but it eventually responded to my attempts to turn it back on after a time.
Same issue here, its 99% dead, no vibration, no led light, nothing on screen....
It happen to me while flashing stock rom via fastboot, it rebooted once and droped dead on me.
I opened the phone and did the same thing with the battery, and.. the same , nothing.
It gets detected by my PC, but i cant use the LGUP tool to flash the tot file, LGUP says "model unknown"...
Trying now with QFIL, but i need to find all the needed files..
By the way, it gets auto-detected as Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 on my PC, it charges(gets warm).. but no life out of it yet.
I charged it all the night, and the combo didn't work (I tried just 10 minutes ago)...
I'll try using that tools, but I think it won't be recognized at all. Mine doesn't become hot when I charge it...
On which android version are you guys?
7.0.1 stable, I think
i was on 7.0.0 (NBD90W, Oct 2016)
Same thing happened to me. I am going to try sideloading an earlier OTA update through ADB. I will let you know the outcome.
I sent the device to the LG support, hopefully I'll have it back in janurary
Im going to send it for repair too, i have lost my receipt for it, but i got a copy, and now can ask a repair
same here.
Hi dear friends, I have a little trouble with my Xperia, because after root the phone don't take charge anymore, and the PC doesn't recognize the phone, the only way to charge the phone, it's putting in bootloader mode, and the PC in bootloader mode It does not recognize it either, the person what I buy the phone says:
"my friend had sent it to Sony who replaced the USB Connector, as they thought maybe that could be the culprit. But obviously it seemed to be more of a software issue as the phone charges in fastboot or recovery mode, so it didn't fix it. Looking at it, they either didn't set the backplate correctly or a little bit off, or they didn't put enough adhesive. It's not an issue really, as all it takes is removing the backplate and resetting it back onto the phone or putting a little more adhesive. Or the phone is normally like this, I'm not entirely sure. But it's a fixable issue if you just remove the backplate and put it back on correctly.
I'm not entirely sure, I believe that it did take the charge before the rooting. I purchased the phone from a friend who knows nothing about repairing phones who rooted the phone and then it would not take the charge anymore. I bought it from him to fix it myself, but I just don't have the time any time soon to repair it hence why I'm selling it.
It only takes a charge when it's in fast boot or the recovery mode currently and it sometimes boots into TWRP Recovery Menu randomly and keeps on doing that, so the only way I figured to bypass that is to hold on the volume up button when turning on the phone until it shows powered by android (when it does the bootloop into twrp). I believe it is the software that is the issue and I'm pretty sure if a stock rom can be flashed onto it, then it'll be good as when you plug in a usb cable normally, it does recognize it for about a second or two, but then it cuts off.
So technically the phone does work with some work arounds, but I sold it as not working or for parts as technically the phone isn't functioning normally as well and has a few issues that can be annoying to the common person."
So This said the person that I bought the phone, and I don't know what do you think about this, If anyone knows what happened please let me know.
