Hi guys. I badly need help.
My m8 wont turn on.
I was chargin it the other night 32% when the phone freezed while downloading facebook from playstore. So i restarted it and it will only show the white background and htc logo. So i tried to boot it into bootloader. It dit boot btw, and when i entered recovery mode it just wont turn back on, the phone was freaking hot and when i listened closely there was a soft whirling sound inside.
I tried every troubleshooting i could find (except for connecting it to a pc, because i am a mac user) but to no avail the phone would not come back to life.
I am so depressed and wouldnt wanna go to the technician yet if i can still find some solutions to bring it back to life again.
Stock android 6.0
Asian 2.5ghz version
Phone age 1yr6mos
Never been dropped
Please help me.
If there is a way to fastboot it using command prompt because someone was suggesting me to do it. But i am a mac user. So helpless here.
up for Ms. Biangka! ed abellon here mentioning @ckpv5 @redpoint73 for some help,

So what is the current status of the phone, exactly? Does the screen turn on at all: white HTC logo screen? Bootloader? Can you get into recovery?
Or the screen won't come on at all?
The whirling sound is a bit disturbing. I haven't heard a report of something like that while trying to boot. The only mechanical components I can think of, that can be making that sound is the camera and vibration motor.

I don't know jack about Macs, so I can't really tell you much about fastboot or recoverying using a Mac. I know you can do it (adb and fastboot on Mac), and think I remember some kind of guide here; so you may search around for that.
You should also see if there is an RUU zip for your version. If so, you can put in on an SD card and run it, without a PC.

Can you be more specific about what you tried, and the details on the results for each? We have no way of knowing what "every troubleshooting you could find" means.
Also, is the phone modded at all (bootloader unlocked, root, custom ROM, s-off, etc.) and is the bootloader currently unlocked, locked or relocked?
hi
the status of the phone is dead. no power. no led light lit when plugged in charger.
i tried these troubleshooting methods:
1. power + volume up for 20 secs (no response)
2. power + volume down for 10 secs (it should vibrate and boot up but it DID NOT)
3. power + volume up an down for 2-3mins while plugged in a charger (nothing happens)
bootloader is locked, all stock not modded
i did find a tutorial on how to install adb and fastboot in my mac. installation was successful but when i try to enter cmd like adb devices it would reply somewhat like adb: no command found.. so im planning to find a windows based pc. if not just leave it for the technicians to rule out the problem.
is this the first sudden death incident? and can the board of the m8 be easily damaged? i never dropped the phone, ever. it just concerns me if its the board that is defective

Try power+vol up for a minute or 2, with and without the charger plugged in. A few folks have had success with this.
Also try to leave the charger connected for a few hours, and see if there is any change.
If none of this works, I would likely assume a sudden hardware failure. It would also somewhat explain the sudden freezing and failure to boot on a fully stock device, with no other apparent events or actions that would cause such a failure.

This usually means you need to navigate (change directory) in CMD to the proper folder where the adb files were installed.
I'm clueless on how to do that on a Mac. On a PC, you would find where adb.exe is located, than you can press Shift+right mouse button and select "Open command window here" (otherwise, you need to manually change directory in CMD using command "cd" with the proper file path).

This certainly wouldn't be the first incident of an apparent and spontaneous hardware failure. We've seen a a few failures like this (no other apparent cause or fix). And anecdotally , these reports seem to be getting a little more common as the device goes on 2 years old. Folks here with more knowledge than me will often say emmc failure can be the cause. emmc chips just go bad eventually. The device did not necessarily get dropped or damaged.
There is the possibility of a bad capacitor on the motherboard. From the description of the sound that you can hear (although I would consider it a high pitched whining sound), it sounds like it might be possible. Capacitors sometimes will give off a high pitched whining noise when they go bad. I could be wrong but my guess is you have a hardware issue of some kind.

That is some brilliant detective work! I've heard of capacitor noise in regards to the AC chargers, but I never would have thought of it happening on the phone. It makes sense. I could only think of mechanical components of the phone making the noise (camera, vibration motor) which didn't really make much sense.

Well, the camera or vibration motor wasn't such a bad idea either. Have no idea if they could get stuck in some way and make a noise like that or not though. My first thought was a capacitor but then reading on I saw you mentioned them. Hadn't even thought of them. Either way, I'm guessing this is a hardware issue from the description of what happened and the noise being heard. I've seen and heard the capacitor issue a few times in my days. It makes me wonder.

Thank you so much for your help guys. Ive been to technician he wont open it coz he doesnt even have parts. I will try and look for a PC and my friend who is also a member here will help me walkthrough the process in cmd. That would be my last chance to wake it up.
If not, i think i need to visit singapore soon. Htc repair center here in the philippines is crap, untrustworthy. Thank you sir!

I was flashing jackos s3 radio after the phone finished installing the update it will not start at all any fix for this previously it was stuck at htc screen did the task 29 and flashed the jackos rom will stay stuck at htc screen thanks
Is your device GSM or CDMA?
is gsm tried everything I could think of, I hope you have a suggestion the only thing that I found is the last resource is that riff jtag box ($150 plus shipping) but I don't have it, and I don't think is worth it for one phone.
Try...
Try flashing stock rom....i think hold volume down and press power button..go to bootload screen/ three color screen..
.then insert cable and flash stock rom
that is the biggest problem I don't get a bootloader screen or any screen any longer it seems like the the cellphone is dead, it tried holding the reset button with battery and without and it makes no difference, it just died after flashing the radio and I don't get a screen anymore I tried a different battery I have a separate charger, and it doesn't work either...
Not enough information to work with really, could you say more about the steps you took in this flash. There is a lot of help here on XDA but only IF enough is known. What you describe is not a common failure. Somethings been left out.
Just have to wonder if you were stock rom prior to the flash, were you unlocked, did the device operate properly before ANY flash was attempted ect....Not knowing were you started and the steps taken make it difficult, xda folks love fixing these things TELL US MORE !!!
PS I'm only here once or twice a month but really have gotten nothing less than the best help here when asked for with better information.
Let me see this telephone is not mine is from a friend that gave to me to fix it, the phone it was unlocked and on the bootloader screen it said security disabled I think something like that,
what it was wrong is that it was stuck on the htc white background
everytime you turn the phone on, I read some threads on how to repair this and found out how to get to the bootloader screen,
then I flashed, Rhodium-HardSPL_V2_00R3_185HSPL it completed and then rebooted, I flashed then Jackos S3 JackFULL 1.4.0, it completed 100% but I got the same error, I read on some thread that you somebody fixed that error by using task 29 so I flashed task 29 and then I flashed the same rom, it was stuck on the same htc screen so I checked on the rom folder there was another file recommended radio Radio_Rhodium_4.49.25.91 I flashed that file to see if it fixed the problem, but after it finished the phone turn itself off and did not start again,
then I checked the battery it had charge,
I tried a different battery nothing,
if I remove the battery slowly I see the red low battery light on for an instant
so the phone is getting power,
I pressed the power button and down button nothing
just the power button nothing,
tried holding the reset button nothing,
it is in a brick state,
is there any hardware mod for this phone,
I fixed a samsung captivate with a tool you created using a micro usb head some resistor in order to put it in a state called download mode,
the only thing I found on how to revive this is this box http://www.gsmserver.com/shop/gsm/riff_box_jtag.php the problem I don't have the money for it...
is that enough information? and of course the rom I use it was a gsm rom
I wonder if a hard reset would snap it into doing something...remove the battery, wait a couple of minutes, put the battery back in.. hold the talk and end buttons down and press the power button...I'm really not sure as I have not experienced this, but...I don't think anything would be a waste of time at this point
---------- Post added at 12:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:52 AM ----------
oops...oh yeah...if the device does power on and you get a screen press the volume up next and see what if anything happens
that is right I have to try everything, but it didn't work but thanks anyway any suggestions I am still open to try everything...
I know you say the phone is GSM but...could you please tell us which, if any, carrier information the phone was designed for, and which rhodium version it is by looking at the sticker under the battery?
Ive been looking for a while into a solution for your symptoms and what Ive found thus far indicates a wrong radio was installed...CDMA radio to GSM device, or vice versa....there are people on this site who know everything, I am not one of them, but...it might be the case where you use MTTY...a low level type of command you can send to the phone via usb from your PC...I'm still looking...perhaps try looking too and cut the time in half lol...the low level commands can get to the device without it being in bootload screen...I think...as I said, I'm still looking for solutions

I've been reading the thread of the link I posted, it's not relative to the Rhodium specifically, but still good reading until some Rhodium specific links can be found
Hey there,
Im a newb here, and this is my first thread, but whatever.
It all started a few months ago.
Several weeks after I rooted my play, and flashed cm7, with doom kernal, my play just suddenly didn't turn on. (Like, turned it off for the night, but refused to turn on in the day again) . However, after I took out the battery and charged it for 10 mins before plugging the battery back in and turning it on again, it worked. This happened intermittently, and through the 12 months I had with this phone, this has happened multiple times, albeit rarely. Every time it happened, it wouldn't turn on, no led when plugged in the charger, no nothing. Its like a dead brick. Plugged it into the computer and it says "QHSUSB_DLOAD". It would work after I charge it without the battery tho. LOL. - weird. (Something like this, link here
However, yesterday, 31/1/2013, my luck basically ran out. The same thing happened again, with "QHSUSB_DLOAD" showing up and all, but my above method didn't work. And so, I'm stuck with a dead brick.
Basically, my xperia play is unresponsive. Plugged it into the computer and it shows "QHSUSB_DLOAD" I think it stands for Qualcomm High Speed USB Download mode. Today, following this link I just randomly plugged in my phone while holding the back button, with flashtool open in the background. Its some miracle, like, my pc suddenly detected it as an unknown device, and flashtool did some kind of thing, not sure, forgot to screen shot but i think it goes along the lines of "installftfkit". After that, my phone booted.
However, because I wanted to plug in my sim card, i rebooted it, and this time it wouldn't turn on. I tried replicating the results, and all i got wasn't "unknown device" but "QHSUSB_DLOAD".
And there you have it, Xperia Play stuck at "QHSUSB_DLOAD" permanently after several times of intermittent incidents of that happening. It may be hardware failure, which explains the intermittent incidents.
But Im still kind of curious. What causes "QHSUSB_DLOAD"? What component fails that would cause the PC to read it as "QHSUSB_DLOAD"?
Its a dead brick, but I am still trying to revive it. I installed qpst and the QHSUSB_DLOAD drivers. QPST configuration reads a phone in download mode(image 1), QPST software download seems to be able to flash a phone and boot image(image 2). But it needs a hex file and stuff. (Not sure bout that)
Is it easy to get a boot image thing for xperia play? Can i flash it using QPST and make my phone work again?
Thanks for your help guys! Really appreciate it!

Correct me if Im wrong...but Im guessing you tried Flashtool and it doesn't work ?
Also , are you familiar with using fastboot?
another Xperia Play Problem
Hi I am a noob also.
I am having a similar problem. Today I was trying to install the wifi module since it wasn't installed on the gin2Jellybean rom, i tried to flash the phone using the Flashtool (turned the cellphone off and pluged it in again while holding the back button) then the window disappeared and nothing happened. So I tried again, but first I took out the battery and put it in again and tried to flash again and now nothing is happening, Doesn't turn on, Flashtool doesn't do anything and when I try plugging it the laptop does the sound of an unrecognized device. The phone doesn't vibrate or anything when I press the power button.
Just realized that I tried flashing my cell phone using the x10 BLRelock.ftf crap.. is there anyway I can fix this?
Please Help.
Thank you.

LOL WTS.
As I said, its totally intermittent and random. I tried plugging it into the computer today, and this time a red led was flashing. I let it charge up a little, and there i had it, booted up perfectly normally.
Maybe the plug is becoming dusty or whatever, resulting in the detection being very intermittent? It happens on and off.
When the phone booted up, I noticed the battery level being very low (2%) maybe it needed some charging? Maybe the battery's screwed?
Its really weird.
And yea, fast boot drivers are installed, and boot loaders are unlocked (If not cm10 wouldn't have been installed lol)
Gonna keep you guys posted and see if it goes dead after restarting. Gonna restart after it charges up to 40%.
(I need to restart cos I have to plug in my sim and memory card)

Well, I restarted and it worked.
My theory is this: Phone ran out of batt one day. Plug is loose and dusty. Computer couldn't detect it properly, charger couldn't charge my phone properly (contacts are rusty or whatever shyt) and therefore phone couldn't on.
Don't know why my computer detected it as QHSUSB_DLOAD multiple times throught the 1 month tho.
Could a dirty plug cause that?
During that 1 month there was no response on the computer, thought it was bricked lol.
Anyways, I will keep you guys posted if this happens again, thanks for your help guys!
Imma keep this thread open since this is intermittent.
I'll only close it after 2 months.

Turned on my phone after 10+ tries.
What I did:
1) Plugged out battery, held power button
2)Without releasing the power button, insert the battery.
Repeat until phone turns on.
Moral of story: Persistence pays off. Nah jk.
Made sure to on my phone with the sim card in this time
Never gonna off my phone ever again (Hope it doesn't run out of batt LOL)
One thing to note is this really weird fluctuation in my phone's battery levels. Maybe my battery is going nuts? Attached is the screenshot.
Made sure to on my phone with the sim card in this time
The epic fluctuation may provide clues as to why my phone's behaving like so.
As you can see from the third dip, I was charging my phone. And then after switching it off, it wouldn't turn on. After a day, and countless times of trying to wake it up, you can see that the battery level has dropped sharply. Weird.
The first dip happened a few days ago(not able to turn on) on 1st Feb. The second dip happened on the 4th, while the third happened on the 5th, today These drops in battery levels happened when my phone couldn't turn on.
Qhsusb_dload
I am sorry to say that my problem is still the same every time I plug my phone it is shown as QHSUSB_DLOAD.
I just need to find a driver for it.
PS my phone never turned on after the brick.
Can someone send me a link to the driver and instructions if hard to install.
Thank you.

Even if it finds the driver, it wouldn't help you, cos QHSUSB_DLOAD means that the phone can't find the rom, and kernel or whatever. (I think) Its like a computer without an operating system. QHSUSB_DLOAD = Qualcomm Highspeed USB Download Mode, which means its waiting for the manufacturer to flash the rom and shyt, and therefore, your phone is bricked. (Dead brick, i think?)
For me, i think there's something wrong with the connections in my motherboard, resulting in the phone not being able to find the rom and stuff.
Maybe there's no hope for you.........
In short, I think your phone's bricked forever.... Most probably.
any fix bricked play
Hi,
I am in the same boat. I get the QSHUSB Dload error and I cant get the phone into flash mode. Its basically dead, as the others have mentioned. Anyone get a fix for this thanks

Hi, I have fixed my HARD bricked phone with the help of Alejandrissimo, contact him and tell him about your problem and he fix your phone online.You will need to know some basic knowledge of electronics and you will require a piece of wire. This is where you contact him.

1) Plugged out battery, held power button
2)Without releasing the power button, insert the battery.
Repeat until phone turns on.
Moral of story: Persistence pays off. Nah jk.

YOU SAVED ME! We have an Xperia Play at work and it wouldn't boot. Plugged it in USB and the HS-USB QDLoader 9008 Device came up. I read your post, did the power+battery thing 8 times, and it magically came back to life!
I wouldn't believe it if someone told me, but for some reason this seams to work. removing the battery and plugging it back in did not work for me, but holding down the power button did the trick.

HAHAHAHA LOL.
Glad it worked out for you
My guess is that there's something loose inside, and repeatedly trying to do that may help.
I think it's something to do with Sony's build quality, or maybe because the phone sustained hard knocks and stuff. (Probably just wear and tear)
Aledranssimo didn't reply me, so yea. T.T
This issue is probably an intermittent one I guess. I've since moved on and gotten a new phone (Lumia 520)
Today I was in my car sitting in a parking lot, had my phone propped on my steering wheel with the txt app open when the screen when blue then shut down. I tried to power it on but it wouldn't come on, I pulled the battery hit the power button, the LG logo came up for a few seconds then shut off and the only way to turn it on again would be to pull the battery. Holding the power and volume rocker button down will turn it on to recovery. The phone is rooted so when I go to factory reset i've had 2 times it loaded to TWERP recovery but then the blue screen would come up again and I can't do anything. Most of the time it will end up in a green screen with the TC Crash, Demigod crash screen. Plugging it into my computer does load it as a device but I'm not able to access the phones storage. Has anyone ran into this issue and first question, is there anyway to recover data? Second question, is this a hardware related issue? I'm about to try and flash it back to stock since I can't get into TWERP but i'll wait for a response before I do that.
I tried to boot to download mode, I hold the volume up rocker and then plug in a USB, it shows download mode icon for a quick second but the screen goes black. I tried the LG flash tool but it doesn't get past step 1. Any one have any ideas i'm fresh out. Only new thing to report is sometimes instead of the green TZ crash i'm getting an orange RMP crash screen but with the same options as the green screen.
Need to know know a little more before I can reach my decision on where to start.
ROM
Kernel
Thermal mods
Was the phone hot?
Does it get hot upon starting?
Baseband?
I had this happen before but never to the extent that your explaining. Kind of sounds like a kernel panic.

I can tell you what ROM it was and thats about it. Resurrection-Remix-LP-v5.5.8-20151027-vs985
Was running sold for months. Phone wasn't hot and didn't notice it getting hot at start up. Phone had 99% battery last time I checked before the blue screen.
I did some research about the LG G3 and blue screen and its a common issue from what i've found. No fix really

Are you sure its a hard brick? From all the things i've read about this blue screen is its a hardware issue. My phone is showing up in the device manager under ports. Can I skip the first part?
Itsna kernal panick some people claim its from over heat others other issues if ure phonenshows up as qusb bulk or something like that then i believe u can the pin groung is to reset it to get it into bulk mode so from there u reflash all the primary gtp partitions then u can get to download mode to restore using stock tot. Ive nevernhad this issue happen but no its not technicly a hard brick but so far i cant find a solution but the method ive shown u usaully brings back all bricks and issues it could be a hardware issue but 9 outa 10 times its a software or firmware issue

Like i said i couldnt find a solution im no developer ive just been rooting and modding since the first og moto droid ive bricked and fixed a lot of phones this may not be the proper solution i just no its work for a lot of people on a lot of diffrent bricks on both g2 and g3 i know basicly the g2 is unbri kable and sofar so has the g3 since this i wish it was a general sticky

You can try calling lg but i consider there tecks dumber the crap but they get paid for what they do again 9 outa 10 times they cant help other than u sending it in for repair like i said ure rooted if they find out it is its fixed on ure dime i dont know no cell company has ever helped me out.

After trying for what felt like forever I got it kind of work once. It showed up as QCBATCH on port 6. But once I broke connection it went away and I wasn't able to get it to work again. I'll give it another try sometime today..

Got it working on the first try today. I used the SIM Card bay for a ground so I didn't have to hold it. Much easier, flashing now, will report back after.

Let me no how it goes
I did the steps but it still booted to a RPM CRASH screen, I couldn't get into download mode. I'm trying to flash Cache, System, Userdata, and SB1 now.
So my power button hasnt been working for some time and i cant boot up. It wasn't that big of a problem for some time since i managed to double tap to wake and to put it on a charger and it would boot up after going over 5%. I've just installed a new ROM and it won't boot up its at 25%. Is there a way to boot it up somehow using a pc or something? I have usb debugging enabled and tried starting it up using adb but it doesn't recognize the phone.
When phone is turned off, hold volume up to go to download mode, then press volume down to abort it, he should reset and turn on then.
Or connect cable with volume - pressed to enter download mode.
If your power button is not working, try removing it, cleaning the dust, repairing it, if necressary, it will be easier to boot that way.
PS: If you try it, make a video, or photos, cause you need everything in its place.

In all seriousness though
I'm not sure if the power button is yourissue, you need to make your post a little clearer
My phone has a wearing button, so every time I press it it doesn't always work
You are saying your phone isn't recognized? Did it work before? Did this start happening recently?
I don't think your issue is power button related.
make sure USB debugging is turned on in developer options. That is necessary for adb to connect to device. Try that before the battery....your device should be listed when u type adb devices with USB debugging on. If not what does it list?
It sounds more like the battery. If the phone keeps looping and takes time to sit on charger to power up and battery percentages seem off......then you need to get a replacement battery. I suggest getting an extended battery, there are a lot of knockoff LG batteries online. I've bought one myself and yes its almost identical...but the ink is faded and the top plastic is slightly different. It just did the same thing you are describing
Powerbear, zerolemon are good. You get what u pay for.
Tip: heavier the battery the better quality it is. Your replacement battery should weigh same as the one you currently have if your going to get the LG one
Hello All,
I have been using Lineage OS on my rooted HTC One M9 for more than 6 months. Everything was working fine, only battery backup was not good(old Battery). A week ago when i pulled my phone out of my pocket, it was off, tried turning it on, didn't work. When connected to charger nothing happens, tried to go to bootloader/recocvery mode did not work.
After googling all this, i found about field test mode, that also is not working, tried.
Tried charging with stock charger, different charger, USB to laptop... nothing.
However, when phone is connected to laptop, windows 10 notification sound comes up but phone is not detected.
Seems like the soul has left the phone.
Please Help!!
Change out the battery. If that doesn’t work, it also sounds like the Motherboard went out.
Battery dead
The soul must be in sleep,is not dead but the battery is gone
R.I.P battery (we will miss you)
Change you battery dude
;( can't upload pic of problem "network error"
I'll got 4x HTC m9 from an ex HTC employee and he told me one of them had a problem and he wasn't sure really what the problem was but he told me the phone keeps rebooting, so I thought wellllll I flashed like every single galaxy from 1 to 10 and ofcourse i faced some times i did got it semi bricked but after moments of rage and eating excessive amounts of instant noodles I was always luckily able to fix it. Now this m9 says on the screen
Blackbox: Software status modified
Pink: locked
Orange: s-on
Pink : security warning
Got 4 choises
Reboot
Reboot to bootloader
Boot to recovery
Power down
Now all of these options don't work... even power down will reboot back to this screen and recovery option gives message that it's a development version.
Some people claim it's fixable by sending RUU? With Odin or boot.img other story's saying EMMc bricked.. since xda is the only place where I can actually get an answer from people knowing what they are talking about.. is it dead? If it's not I just put some more time in it.. at least the phone gets detected by my PC when my s6 edge had a eMMC brick it would show up as (no USB id for devicediscriptor...

Well,i am not a development or something like that but my idea is(not a good idea but anyway) it seems that you have to download a little lot of Rom's and if non of them works it is a refurbished item from Htc.co (this is my opinion)
For better answer(of course that have intelligent people than me)you better ask them privately
