hello,
I tried to swapper2 to increase ram of the galaxy w but after a reboot, the smartphone will not turn over.
connecting it via usb driver tells me qhsusb_dload not found.
how can I fix this?
Thank you.
sorry for my english.
I'm afraid that sounds like a hard brick. The qhsusb_dload thing is exactly what I had on my hard bricks. It means that the primary bootloader has been wiped. Nothing you can do about it except sending it in for service.
Guys, I saw Riff jtag mentioned by contributor alidsd here

I think it corrupted the bootloader. In assistance could realize that the root has been done and that the kernel has changed?

i´ve also by mistake mess with the bootloader partition, it went to service and they replace motherboard. if you can´t turn the device on, they won´t notice because they will flash everything new. but i tink they will replace motherboard because the service provided by samsung in several countries is donne by companies that cooperate with samsung, it´s not samsung itself and they are the ones that have that kind of equipment. in my opinion take to warranty

I'm buying a galaxy S3 from someone for AT&T is there anything I should know or look for before making the purchase? Can I tell if its rooted or anything that can cause damage to the phone? I know with Sprint that the WIMAX keys could be lost the phone would work fine just no WIMAX. All help appreciated I am meeting him at a AT&T store.
There is no way to tell if it's rooted if he/she used triangle away restore the flash counter. I would make sure AT&T knows it was sold to me so they can't report it stolen so it will not be blacklisted on there systems and put in your AT&T sim and make a call first. You can check and make sure the IMEI is still intact via settings-about phone section other tan that it's all about luck. Make sure you get a good contact number I case something goes wrong with phone because I'm sure your warranty goes out the door with the resale.
Ok thanks I am going to meet him at the store and activate the phone make sure it works and makes call etc... before I pay the guy.
You can check if custom roms have been installed ( and your warranty is voided ) by turning it off pressing power+vol. down+ home, then press vol. up and it will take you to odin,
In there it says if its EVER been custom romed, this is how Samsung checks if your under warranty or not.
I wouldnt worry about root , when you get the phone run an emergency restore from KIES software to erase any traces of the owner's data. you could be getting key logged and other nasty stuff if you dont.
The above user suggestion is also good to check if the phone is blacklisted or not , considering its easy to swap SIMS on this device.

I wouldn't worry if it was rooted or not. Even if he managed to mess it up somehow, Odin reflash and its back to stock.

I would worry about the phone being overclocked too much.

ODIN
Product name:
Custom binary Download: NO
Current binary: Samsung official

When you open up ODIN, make sure you "Run as Administrator" and the Sammy usb drivers are installed, above PDA, theres a box PIT.. click the box and browse to the PIT file on your PC and select it.. it appears in the box next to PIT button, then put a tick in the box Re-Partition, put the ROM in PDA then click Start and off you go.
So far as I know, you only use ODiN for stock roms, plus,. Im pretty sure Stock Roms are All in one PDA file now.
Anyway, hope that helps
Good Luck
Sorry but seems sds.

Looks like SDS. Anyways, have to wait for experts to review it.
By the way, which ROM you were using before this has happened?
As you do not have Custom Binary counter set, I hope you can claim the warranty. So just go ahead in claiming warranty,

The phones with SDS issue will have blank in Product code field as well as the Binary status will be custom.. You shouldn't have any problem in claiming warranty if you have it's bill/invoice/warranty card...
By the way, din't you check the phone before buying? You said that it was like that while buying.. You should have returned it to the previous owner itself.. Incase you do not get warranty, this will cost you huge money to repair as the motherboard replacement is the only solution... Instead of that, its better you put some more money and buy new.

First off all that blank in product code problem i had it, and i buy the phone on the web in second hand, i try to reach the guy who sell me the phone and as it was from expect he didnt had the bill/invoice/warranty card, correct me if im wrong or being dumb, but if they released the phone only in 2012, September, even i buy it on the first day, didn´t past 2 years yet,
i took the phone to they, and they make a couple of questions like if i rooted the phone, i asked them what is rooting (ahahha), and they said, that will give it a see and then call me,
About the possibility of buy a new one, that only cost me 130 pounds, about 154 euros, so it was a nice deal, if they charge me more that 50 euros, wich i think they will i will buy a Jtag Riff box and repair emmc myself, or buy the chip here and solder him myself at home, but if that happens i will spread everywhere that samsung sucks and show my indignation and anger about them.
Second day my new A5 (2017) whent in bootloop. Without root or any modifications. I whent to recovery to do factory reset. It was desplaying error all the time. After 5 reboot's.

This thing happened to me. Except for me having no luck solving it. It was bootlooping all the time after turning on the cellular data, after landing back home from vacation on the airplane. Phone was stuck in a Samsung Galaxy A5 logo through customs and during the drive all the way home. I tried factory resetting it on the phone but no luck, it gave me errors in red lines and cannot wipe data or cache for that matter.
Since I've only bought phone for about 1.5 month ago, I contacted my carrier (freedom mobile) about this and they send it to get it checked, only to tell me I tampered with it through a root. Lol. I don't know what's going on, and from what I have seen, I don't think there is a root for this device (A520W) yet...
The phone is still in the cellphone repair company contracted by Samsung (called Futuretel) and have yet to get it back and deal with it.
If anyone has any insights, help let me know. I will update if anything interesting happens.

I live in Canada, and unfortunately if you root it, it voids the warranty and they will not do anything unless you pay for it.
I did NOT root my phone. I kept it stock and I am sure of it.
For my issue, the company wants to charge me for replacing the mainboard too. I think they don't believe me when I say that I did not root it. I'm glad to find someone who experience this similar problem, maybe it can gain some traction.
I am also waiting for Monday to hear back from them. And hopefully you get your new device

So this is the picture they sent me saying that I rooted my phone, even though I am sure I kept it stock.
Not sure why it's displaying custom, maybe something in the mainboard triggered that.
Also the knox didn't go off. The warranty void is at 0, shouldn't I qualify for the warranty?

Those engineers that sent that truly are idiots. They haven't even considered the fact that the issue was caused by corruption to the system partition which would not only quite possibly cause the bootloop, but it would also fail the hash check and trip the custom flag.
You haven't tripped Knox and therefore in my opinion have not voided the warranty. If they don't have faith in the knox flag then why are they so keen to deny warranty when it IS tripped.
Irrespective of the above have you actually just tried reflashing the stock firmware?
A modified system image, corrupt or otherwise will fail the hash check and fail dmverity causing the device not to boot.

I haven't tried yet. The phone is still with the phone company, I was afraid of reflashing stock due to possible messups that could void the warranty. I just felt that it would be wise to deal with it the idiot-proof and "official" way since I had the phone for such a short time.
I didn't think they would accuse me of rooting my phone and voiding my warranty. I'll try to call Samsung with the picture they sent and see how can they resolve it.
Worse thing is that the phone company (freedom mobile) wants to charge me $35 to get my phone back since they determined "tampering". Not a steep fine, but I'm trying not to pay it mostly out of principle, hopefully I can work this out. It's been a rocky ride with Samsung and Freedom Mobile's costumer service.
Ok so i was just rooting when my phone decides to die during so commands in adb. :crying:
Now i cant turn on the phone or boot into fastboot or bootloader. everytime i plug it in the charging light just flashes. Also my computer recognises the device as qualcomm hs-usb qdloader 9008 . ive read around the internet and ive found two methods. blank flash and qfil. issue is those tutorials were made for the moto g5 plus. I have searched around the internet and im beginnign to lose hope now. Can someone tell me how to fix this or give me the right blankflash version.
much appreciated

if you cant access bootloader take it to a repair shop - you need specialist software and hardware to re-image your phone
how on earth did you do that - you do know to root this device its just a simple zip flashing in recovery mode - no fancy commands or anything required once you have unlocked the bootloader via the very easy to follow guide on the moto unlock bootloader website

If you are using LineageOS all you had to do was just go into dev settings switch root to disable & restart the phone
If you used magisk just use the magisk uninstaller then reflash the kernel
I don't understand why you touched the bootloader partition

Although even though I'm sorted it think we need a way to fix hardbricked devices because the Moto g5plus and g4s have fixes but I haven't found any that work for Cedric devices
