HardBricked phone - Sprint LG Optimus G

Hi everyone! I have a problem with Sprint LS970. Phone don't turn on, and my PC don't recognize it. In the device manager nothing don't happen. On the phone lights only red led and nothing else. Can i make anything to repair it?? Or it's dead?
P.S. Sorry from my bad English

Lg optimus g repair
Sorry i found this so late, did you try to flash something that could have been incompatible? It dosent sound like your phone is completely dead because you describe that the red led turns on and nothing shows in device manager if it was dead then there would be no led at all and eather it would show under ports as qualcomm hsusb qdloader or nothing would happen at all depending on what happened, the only thing I can think of for now is to try to find instructions on how to fix the lg optimus g using board diag Edit: it sounds like what you expirienced is what has been described on another post as the red led of death, it looks like his po l roblm can be easily fixed, if the device still refused to turn on you should open up the device, disconnect the battery for at least a minute then reconnect the battery, close the device, then try to turn it on, it should work now but it may need to be charged. It is likely that this happened bcause the device went into a confused state where it wont know the battery percentage therefore it wont turn on

Help I May Have Bricked My Phone

So I flashed a rom this morning and when i rebooted, my screen stayed black but the blue and green LED light is flashing. When I flashed, which I have done many times before, I wiped system/data/cache/dalvic. I thought it may just be my screen, but when I plug my phone into the charger with no battery in it, the no battery in phone error is displayed. I also cant get into download mode or into TWRP. This situation is weird because I can still hear sounds. When i turn the phone on, connect it to my computer and allow it to boot to the flashing LED lights, I can still hear the sound the phone makes that signifies it is connected to a computer, but my computer does not read it. Also my phone is low on battery but I hear the sound that signifies the phone has low battery life, and yes i tried booting the phone with a different battery. So my question is, did I brick my phone or is their something I can do that can maybe fix this.
Nevermind, I fixed it shortly after making this post

G4 quit, now G3!

So I have this G4 and it is terminal. Now my G3 isn't booting up. It shows the LED green/blue so it does try to boot. After a few seconds LED stops flashing and that's it. I have to pull the battery to do anything else. Today I even got a vibration, but still, that was it.
The battery is fully charged. I could see the red light glow then it quit. Battery is 100%. I have tried everything I have found online and so far no soap. I'm about ready to quit LG. Does anyone have any really great cure for what ails this device?
I would connect the G3 to my (Windows) computer (with the LG driver installed), then see what shows up in the windows device manager related to the g3. And / or try to get the g3 into Download mode (hold volume up while connecting the usb cable while it's connected to the computer). If it goes into that mode, then you may have a good chance of reflashing the phone with its original firmware, to bring it back to life.

Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 is all that is left from my M8

Hi,
my M8 doesn't turn on anymore. Already tried to change the battery, already tried to start it with VOL+ vor a couple of minutes, tried VOL+ and VOL- for a couple of minutes - nothing. I can't get into bootloader, i can't boot the phone - BUT:
- After connecting the phone to the PC a device "Qualcomm HS-UB QDLoader 9008 (COM10)" shows up
- When putting the charging cable only half the way in the charging LED turns on for 1-2 seconds and then off again
- When trying to do the VOL+ and Power method the charging LED turns on very short every 10-15 seconds as long as i hold the keys
Is it completely dead? Or can i try to flash something with qualcomm tools from here? Its a non-provider phone (HTC_102 i think) and the android variant.
The last thing i did was htcdev unlock after i got it from htc repair where they replaced the motherboard. i installed twrp and then miui7 and after this viperrom and leedroid. With miui it turned on but not every time (i don't know why) but after leedroid it doesn't even get into bootloader.
I don't think this is rom related and more of a hardware issue but maybe you have some ideas. The phone seems to be dead anyway, so let's try something.
Thanks

I have the same issue. Same indicators. Just happened after charging overnight phone seems completely dead. Tried everything. (Light trick, Volume Up & Down w/ Power)
For the most part, if you've charged the phone for several hours, and all your are getting is orange/red LED (I would call it red, but maybe I'm not remembering it correctly) and the button combos don't work, its probably bricked.
Try holding power+Vol up for a minute or so (it will sometimes take that long to reboot, in certain circumstances). Also try Power+Vol up+vol down (but it sounds like you did already).
Also try the button combos with or without the charger attached and plugged in. In can think of at least one user, that had success with the charger plugged in, when they had lost all hope.
Basically, the device will come up with the Qualcomm Download message on your PC anytime the phone is not powered on. So it can be an emmc failure, or a dead battery. You can try replacing the battery, but that can just end up as a disappointment (which looks like may be the case for the OP). Or you can even have the Qualcomm message come up, if the charge is too low. I've had that happen once, gave me a heart attack. Red LED, and no response to button combos. I let it sit on charger for a few hours, then holding power+vol up for a minute made it boot, much to my relief.

I would have been more hopeful if it was a green LED, appearing for a second when you connected the charger. That would have made me think maybe the charge port is just loose.
Same problem
having the same problem and i have noticed that when I plug it to pc then I shows qgusb dloader and when I press power button or any other button combination then I stop showing as qgusb dloader it appears as device is unplugged and then if I replug it then it won't show anything nor led neither qhusb..But after 10 min or so if I plug it then it again shows led and qhusb and I have also noticed one more thing that if I plug it in charger then led just blink for some microseconds but when I plug it to pc led blinks several times dim solid for 2 3 seconds is there any hope?
I reached this stage by installing unknown ROM .
By the way I have one more HTC one M8 but its from different career (at&t) and it's also rooted and custom rom installed but its in very bad condition just working but i m thinking about replacing motherboard or battery so i can fix it it this idea succesfull ?

What do you mean "unknown"? Do you mean, you can't remember exactly which ROM you flashed?
I presume you don't mean you flashed something, without knowing what it is.
Do you remember anything about the ROM?
What carrier version of the M8 are you talking about?
S-on? If so, its hard to brick this phone with s-on.
Hello All,
I have the exact same issue ...
It started by showing messages like "android core/services has/have stopped". I rebooted, then there was no mobile network connection -> No IMEI.
I had no worries, that happened also in the past and I could solve it with a dirty flash.
Then I went to Recovery, dirty flashed my ROM (Android Revolution), phone rebooted and started building application cache.
At some point, it started, then some more caching and ... boom, blackout.
It doesn`t respond to anything. No power+volume combination, anything.
I have even opened it up and removed the battery connector.
Without battery, when I connect it to the power source, via USB, the RED light turns on for a second and the Off. ..
Also, when connected to the PC, it is identified as : " Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 " .
Are there any repair possibilities, besides motherboard replacement ?
Thank you in advance.

Please don't post the same question to multiple threads. One place is enough. It makes it confusing to those trying to help you, and it's therefore against forum rules.
Understood, won`t happen again.
Thank you.

Phone is dead, please help.

Hey. My phone was little laggy this afternoon and had %50 battery. I replaced my battery around 6 months ago. I power off the G3 then tried to power on but nothing happened. I tried to get into recovery mode by pressing both power and volume down keys but nothing happens. When I try to power on normally, nothing happens too. When I try to charge it no lights come out of that little light on top of the phone too. I mean no LG logo nothing. What should I do?
also when i plugged it into my computer in device manager it shows something like "qhsusb_bulk". i searched google but they are all about bricking.
If the Windows computer sees the phone as "qhsusb_bulk", the phone is bricked: https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/unbrick-lg-g3-qhsusbbulk-qualcomm-9008-t3072091
In my case I successfully recovered qhsusb-bulk with this http://www.androidbrick.com/unbrick-recover-your-dead-lg-g3-g2-all-variants/
the thing is i never tried to rom/jailbreak etc. i was running official lg os. should i still try this guide?
Give it a try.At least it won't make worse.

Pls help! Htc m8 hard bricked?! Qfil files needed.

Hi,
I'm in a bit of a problem.
I got this m8 that was supposed to turn on but it doesn't. I got a battery replacement and everything and nothing changed. Long story short, I plugged it into a computer and I get Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 in Device Manager.
So basically, I've done a bit of recovery through QFIL before. It says in QFIL there is no previous software version. I think I could revive it with all the QFIL files to flash onto the phone. I've seen the HTC M9 has these files somewhere on XDA.
Please, I'd appreciate it if someone could supply me with these files or some other advice.
Thanks,
Jev
I have a similar problem and so far been unable to find relevant files or information on reviving a bricked M8 using QFIL.
Please help.

In the 3 years I've had the device and been on this device forum, I've never seen the files posted or linked; nor seen anyone unbrick from this condition.
That said (for the second poster, and not the OP) be sure it's an actual brick; as you haven't described any of the events that led to the current condition (one of the pitfalls of saying "I have a similar problem" and not actually supplying any specifics). The message "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 " will appear anytime the device is not powered on (including a brick, but other conditions as well). It may be simple as charging the phone for several hours, then holding power+vol up for a minute or so, to force the phone to boot.
HTC One M8 bricked
Thank you redpoint73 for your reply. I bought this phone with the problem existing so don't know much about what lead to the condition. The seller did say that he rooted the phone and issued some fastboot commands, but couldn't remember the details.
I have left the phone connected to a charger for more than 24 hours, but the charging LED is not on continuously, nor regular blinking.
When the phone is connected to a charger or computer the charging LED flashes on for about 1 second, then nothing more.
In the case of computer connection the USB connection sound is heard (but never hear the USB disconnection sound) and Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 appears in Device Manager.
I have tried all the various combinations of button pressing as recommended in lots of places, with times ranging from 10 seconds to 30 minutes or more.
At one stage I taped all the buttons down and when connected to a charger the LED blinked in a regular manner.....on for 1 second, off for 1 second, on for about 0.5 second, off for 12 seconds, and then the cycle repeated continuously. When connected to a computer in this condition the USB connect sound is heard at each 0.5 second blink.
I am currently looking, with hope, at various flashing utilities for phones with Qualcomm chipsets.
You say that you have not seen anyone unbrick from this condition. Does this apply to the M8 only as there appears to be more information available for the M7 and M9?

It's debatable whether the issue is "exactly" the same (can have various causes and outcomes) but the current condition is similar. Therefore, did you try the suggestions already offered?
Try charging for several hours. Then try holding power+vol up for a minute or so, and see if there is any change. Anything coming on the screen is a good sign (even if it doesn't boot up fully).
I don't see anything in your descriptions that would indicate anything you could have done to truly brick it. It's hard to brick this phone just by flashing ROMs. So unless there just happened to be a battery or other hardware failure at the same time, I don't think it's bricked. And a hardware failure while you were booting up a newly flashed ROM would be an awfully strange coincidence.
Thank you for your reply.
When I reach home, I will connect it to the charger, let it sit overnight and afterwards I`ll try to start it via Power+volume up.
I will get back with feedback.
Hello All,
The approach with the charging does not work ... I left it overnight, more that 10 hours, and it`s in the same state; it doesn`t react to anything.
When I plug it to the PC, it recognized as Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008.
Any ideas or hints are highly appreciated.
Thank you.
Further to my previous post I opened up my phone and check the voltage at the battery connector and it was only 2.6 volts, so the battery was obviously not being charged via USB.
I charged the battery up to a nominal 3.7v using an external charger connected directly to the connector and then tried all the button pushing scenarios again with no joy. With the battery charged the phone is not recognised by a PC and the charging LED does not illuminate at all. The condition described previously is only achieved with the battery disconnected (or with the battery partly or fully discharged).
Hopefully these observations might help someone diagnose what the problem is.

Try another charger, try the button combo with the charger connected (and also not connected), try just power, or power + vol down (hold each button combo for at least a minute). Play around, and see if anything works. A few folks have had luck just messing with different combinations.
If you can't get the phone to power on, into at least bootloader, where isn't anything you can do. It will only ever be read by the PC as Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008. That is, short of opening up the phone, but that may or may not work, depending on what the problem is (battery, motherboard, etc.).
Strange, you are the 2nd person today on this forum with the similar issue, of apparent brick after just flashing a ROM: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=73039334&postcount=7
Makes me wonder if the emmc chips are just going bad (as this is getting to be an old phone) and the ROM flash is the last straw (although it was on the brink of failure anyway).
But this is just a guess, at best.
Hi,
I know this has been a really old thread. I only realised I had replies now . Anyway, thanks for the replies, I really appreciate it. But unfortunately, no hope for my device. I have tried everything. When I plug it in to any charger, it just blinks red/orange(I can't tell which colour) once, and then just stays dead. No button combo did anything.
Thanks,
Jev
