Device: Nexus 5X - LG H790 - 16GB
Hey guys!
I've spent the past... 7hr reading and trying different things but nothing seems to work.
Here's what happened: I was trying to install a custom rom which required a custom bootloader.
Everithing's good 'till I mistankenly flash the bootloader for Nexus 5 instead of 5X. And hell was unleashed... the phone got bricked as soon as I rebooted it.
It won't turn on, no matter the key combination: Power, Vol Up + Power, Vol D + Power, Both Vol + Power, the same while pluggin the USB to the computer, w/ and w/o the power key. It won't turn on.
On linux, the device is displayed as:
Code:
Bus xxx Device yyy: ID 05c6:9008 Qualcomm, Inc. Gobi Wireless Modem (QDL mode)
And there's only one device generated, a TTY:
Code:
/dev/ttyUSB0
I can't see partitions. If I try to dd the device through the bus:
Code:
:~# dd if=/dev/bus/usb/xxx/yyy of=img
0+1 records in
0+1 records out
50 bytes (50 B) copied, 0.000147159 s, 340 kB/s

Here's the dmesg output:

If I connect to the TTY via screen, I always got the same response no matter what (I'm unable to reproduce it right now, but it was a 16 bytes [32 hex chars] fixed response, mostly zeroes).
So, I'm lost here.... the best response I found was to contact LG and ask for a replacement. So, I already sent an email to them. But the fact is, that I live in Argentina, and the phone was bought in USA through a friend, so I don't know if that option is gonna work
Every help is appreciated!
What can/should I do? I use Debian, but I've no problem using Windows 7 x64 if it's needed.
I'm on the same situation. I own a 32gb H790. I was taking random pictures with the google camera app, and suddenly it began to reboot, after that.. endless bootloop. I bought some usb c cables and tried to flash the original images (previous to that, it didn't had any mods, neither root). The flash somehow failed, and it didn't charge or boot since then, it only shows a flashing red light when connected. I couldn't enter recovery nor download mode either so the solution from the other thread didn't work for me. I guess RMA is the only solution for now.
I sent it to LG with a friend (I'm not from USA also), lets see what they say when they see it.

As far as I know, you are now the owner of a beautiful paperweight. Short of replacing the motherboard, there isn't anything you can do. Hopefully you get a free replacement, but I wouldn't bet on it Best of luck!
Well, thanks guys... I got a reply today from LG, here it is:

So, I'm gonna post how it goes, for future reference.
I found someone who fixed a similar brick on another LG phone. I think you can find similar images for the 5X.
I'm not allowed to post links yet so google "hard brick to hell and back"

Did you tell them how your phone was bricked? I mean, that you flashed the bootloader for Nexus 5.
I'm in a similar situation (hard brick after "trying" to install original images) and I'm running out of ideas.
I met exactly the very same problem, flashing Nexus 5's bootloader to 5X. Moreover, I'm in the similar situation with you. I live in China and bought 5x in US.
I tried many methods I can find but none of them works. Finally, I send the phone to a local LG Mobile Phone service shop. The staff said the model is never sold in China but they can try. About two weeks later, they told me that, the phone is repaired. I got it yesterday. Until now, it works well.
And yes, they did charge 600 yuan (about 91 usd) from me. Not bad. Wish you have better luck.

I didn't actually told them what happened
So far, they told me I need to ship the phone to US and they'll repair it. The only issue now is trying to find the buying receipt from BestBuy, since I don't have it... damn!
Try using the LG UP tool.

Hey there,
unfortunately my Nexus 7 2013 Wi-Fi (flo), which was rooted and ran on
Stock Android 4.4.2 and TWRP, suddenly stopped working.
I was experiencing some lags and decided to reboot it, but it never
powered back on. I didn't modify any system files.
I'm unable to enter recovery or download mode, but it seems that it is
now in QDL mode:

I suppose you understand or knowleadgeable of getting your phone into Bootloader mode/..
If you can, you can always Fastboot things up..
If you can't, but knew how to, that's a bit scary..
power it off than volume down and power button and after a while it'll show you the bootloader than grab the factory images and flash them onto your nexus. I foyu want more info, search around. I've posted on one of the threads on how to use factory images

I think you're fried, man. Every time one of my devices was stuck in QHSUSB_DLOAD it had to be JTAGed. That's a definite hard brick. Sorry I don't have happier tidings.
RMA is your way. Bad unit. That's what it was

Last night I updated my Nexus 7 (2013) to 4.4.3, using the normal OTA notification. Everything was working fine, and the phone rebooted into 4.4.3 and I was happy. This morning however, the screen is all black and I cannot wake it in any way.
When I plug it into my computer it shows up in QHSUSB_DLOAD mode:
usb 2-1.5: new high-speed USB device number 19 using ehci-pci
usb 2-1.5: New USB device found, idVendor=05c6, idProduct=9008

usb 2-1.5: Manufacturer: Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM
qcserial 2-1.5:1.0: Qualcomm USB modem converter detected
usb 2-1.5: Qualcomm USB modem converter now attached to ttyUSB0
By holding the power button I can get it to disconnect and reconnect, but always with this result.
The device was running rooted stock firmware, and was S-unlocked.
What can I do to fix this? Hopefully there is something to do other than return it..

Hey guys. I tried to flash TeamEOS rom latest nightly on my device,and the flashing process went fine. I was using the TWRP gummified version and it said it was all successfull. This is the link,and on the download pages there is Find7 version.
http://www.oppoforums.com/threads/rom-4-4-4-teameos-the-revival-nightlies.16320/page-25
The problem is,after flashed everything,my phone died. I think i made a mistake when flashed the modem package,which is supposed to be for the find5.. I didn't thought that it could make the difference,but it might have made.
Now my phone won't start,boot or anything. Simply died. Is there anyway i could try to bring him back to life before i send it to the warranty?
I can't reach recovery,fastboot or anything
Any help would be much appreciated. Thank's a lot

Okay. Try to connect your phone to your PC and see if your phone is showed as "QHSUSB BULK" Or qualcomm 9008/9006
Let me know if it shows that.
(go to device manager on pc to check that)
If it doesnt show, try taking the battery out and putting it back and then connecting to pc.

I have no idea. Sorry. Maybe use your friend's pc? OR VM?
Hi there. I too am having issues with my Find 7 as well. I just bought it today. The previous owner apparently went to flash cm11 and he soft bricked it. The phone will power on to the start screen the the screen stays black and goes on and off. I can get to fastboot but not recovery. I have read in the oppo forums that I need to push the stock recovery too it but am unfamiliar with fastboot. I am willing to pay someone to get this phone working. Any input would be greatly appreciated.
MsmDownloader works great from inside an Windows XP VMWare virtual machine.
I'm trying to salvage some important files from a dead HTC One X (stock everything) - from what I've been told, it was in use and suddenly turned off. After attempts to charge the phone etc. to no avail (monitor does not turn on, no LEDs turn on at all) it was sent for repair with the instructions to not proceed if they could not salvage the files. The repair shop opened the phone, molested some plastic parts and sent it back in two parts, stating that they could not proceed further without loosing the data on the phone. I have no idea what they tried, so I'm hoping they didn't try very much before giving up.
So - I put the thing back together and tried to turn it on and charge it. The display and LEDs show no signs of life, even when charging, holding down power button etc. When I attach the phone to my (Linux) PC, I get the following in dmesg:

which is the only sign of life I've seen so far (why NVIDIA vendor ID and not HTC?). When holding down the power button for ~15 seconds, there's a "USB disconnect" and it re-appears.
Sometimes the phone seems to enter a slightly different state, giving me some sort of connect-timeout-reconnect loop four times:
Code:
[143124.943256] usb 3-2: new high-speed USB device number 101 using xhci_hcd
[143129.944609] xhci_hcd 0000:00:14.0: Timeout while waiting for address device command
[143130.148758] usb 3-2: Device not responding to set address.
[143130.352699] usb 3-2: device not accepting address 101, error -71
I was hoping that it was just a busted display, and booting a recovery image would let me grab the files via adb - but it does not show up when doing "fastboot devices". I've tried different blind combinations of holding the power button and volume down, but nothing seems to happen (not sure if I'm doing something wrong though, since nothing appears on screen).
Maybe someone here on xda has an idea on how I could get into the device? Recovering the phone does not matter, but getting the files is very important to the owner.

I'm trying to salvage some important files from a dead HTC One X (stock everything) - from what I've been told, it was in use and suddenly turned off. After attempts to charge the phone etc. to no avail (monitor does not turn on, no LEDs turn on at all) it was sent for repair with the instructions to not proceed if they could not salvage the files. The repair shop opened the phone, molested some plastic parts and sent it back in two parts, stating that they could not proceed further without loosing the data on the phone. I have no idea what they tried, so I'm hoping they didn't try very much before giving up.
So - I put the thing back together and tried to turn it on and charge it. The display and LEDs show no signs of life, even when charging, holding down power button etc. When I attach the phone to my (Linux) PC, I get the following in dmesg:

For me the battery is dead. Try changing battery... Has the repair center remounted all connectors like the screen/battery connector?
Hi! I would like to try to give a last shot to my almost dead LG G4 H811, after charging the battery with an external charger I tried to boot it and the screen never turns on.
After that I tried to see if my computer was able to see it, so I plugged it with the battery attached and without pressing any button I saw this in dmesg:
Code:
[ 493.380017] usb 1-12: new high-speed USB device number 10 using xhci_hcd
[ 493.522999] usb 1-12: New USB device found, idVendor=05c6, idProduct=9008
[ 493.523005] usb 1-12: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=0
[ 493.523009] usb 1-12: Product: QHSUSB__BULK
[ 493.523012] usb 1-12: Manufacturer: Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM
[ 493.524378] qcserial 1-12:1.0: Qualcomm USB modem converter detected
[ 493.524602] usb 1-12: Qualcomm USB modem converter now attached to ttyUSB0
Are those logs a good signal? I would really appreciate if it is possible to bring it back because we would like to use it for astrophotography on prime focus (it has a great camera)
Thanks in advance!

Sounds like you may have a bricked device. You should probably give this thread a thorough read, and follow it to the T.
