[Q] Possibly Fully Bricked - Any hope?

What I may have done wrong: I was trying to go back to stock because I couldn't get CWM to mount to the SD card. So I figured I would start from scratch.
I opened up ODIN, went into download mode, selected the PIT file and selected the TAR file. The thing was though, is that when I selected the PIT file, it automatically selected "Re-Partition Device". I didn't notice this until after I pressed Start. It ended up failing very shortly after it started, so I figured I'd try again without Re-Partioning. I selected the same files, and it flashed but it flashed weirdly. It only took a few seconds and then it said it was done but I remember it saying something like 0/0 completed or something.
SO NOW, when I connect it to my computer, it doesn't recognize the device at all. The phone is totally black. I've tried taking out the battery, sim card, connecting USB with both +/- pressed down and it still doesn't recognize it.
The worst thing about all of this? This was my brother's Christmas present and like the idiot I am, I ruined it.
I've read mixed things about a USB jig - some say that if I can't get into download mode without a jig then it's useless.
I'm open to anything at this point. I just want to get my brother his phone... If it does end up being that the phone is dead (we bought it at Best Buy), what should I say to them? Should I go through Best Buy or T-Mobile?
*Any* help would be appreciated.

A usb jig may work ! And you can make yours by yourself

take out battery, hold down power button/volume up/down
if you feel a vibration, the phone is not dead
if you don't take it to bestbuy and tell them the phone broke itself

Tried this - no vibration whatsoever. I'm not sure when you wanted me to plug in the power. If I just plug it into the USB without the battery the computer recognizes when I let go of the volume buttons. Like it's disconnecting from the machine.
It comes up as 'qhsusb_dload'.
Also, do you have experience with Best Buy? Are you sure I'd go through them and not T-Mobile?

QHUSB_DLOAD stands for
qualcomm high speed usb download mode
sounds fully bricked to me(dont quote me on it)
what this means is that if you send it back to bestbuy/tmo/samsung they will not know if its rooted or not, so they cant refuse to fix it
again, wait for someone of more knowledge to confirm QHUSB_DLOAD = full brick(although im pretty sure it is)

actually, i just found another thread with similar situation
skillllllz said:
**UPDATE** I closed Oden and killed all processes related to Kies. Then with my phone still in download mode, I quickly unplugged and plugged the cord into the PC's USB port. Odin was able to communicate with the phone and flash the firmware successfully. Hopefully this info will be useful to some other soul and save their butt.
I think I may have bricked my phone also. I was flashing the latest firmware also, it almost completed and then Odin said it failed. Now the device is still in download mode, Odin can't seem to establish a connection, and I'm afraid to pull the USB cable out or power-cycle the phone. Anyone have any ideas? This really sux

this guy has his phone in download mode still
so he was able to rescue it, now that your phone does not even respond, then you should have no problem getting it fixed by samsung(whether directly, thru tmobile or bestbuy)

DO NOT TELL THEM YOU WERE USING ODIN/TRYING TO ROOT THE PHONE OR ANYTHING
just tell them this happened when you were browsing or something

Possibly Bricked My Phone.. Please Help!

Ok guys I search this site all the time but this is my 1st post so please bear with me..
I have a Htc Incredible 2, rooted using revolutionary, I flashed a new ROM (Gingerbangsense) last night using Clockwork Mod, the screen stuck on the green htc letters, I did a battery pull and now the phone will not start up. I cant get into bootloader either. It charges, when i connect to pc it says does not recognize device, same with CMD
I've called Verizon before because i've dropped the phone but they fixed it before, i'm afraid if I try to return it because it's still under warranty, they'll blame it on me for dropping it
PLEASE TELL ME THERE'S A FIX

Htc screen
Pull battery then hold power button and volume down button at same time, will get you to bootloader, then select recovery, i assume you have clockworkmod recovery, if you have a backup just restore it.
YOUR SCREEN might be shot if you dropped it
make sure usb debugging is enabled
---------- Post added at 11:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:20 PM ----------
do you have the htc drivers installed.
do you have sdk-tools installed
ifso you should be able to use adb to get where you want.

Screen isn't shot I know for sure. I did the battery pull and tried power+volume down and nothing. I cant get into the bootloader. I have android SDK and it doesn't recognize the device

boy, thats weird!!! are you changing directory when you use adb???
cd c:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools ( enter )
then adb reboot bootloader

I'm a little new to the android SDK but i was using CMD and nothing would work. All the fastboot files were where they needed to be. I think it was completely bricked. Even now it wont even charge with a wall charger. I've heard about emmc chips frying. I just got back from verizon and told them that the phone lagged so bad that it wouldn't even boot. Theyr'e sending me a new one under the 1 year warranty
Thanks for the response! I do appreciate it

yeah best for you it doesn't boot, they won't know a thing

Hard bricked xperia play ;( [Fixed Thanks to Alejandrissimo]

I went to flash a kernel via fast boot it was going all good till i tried to boot it up since then ive tried 3 computers they dosent recognise it the charger won't charge it wont go into fastboot and the only thing it dies is vibrate and show blank screen it dosent show any light from the power switch not even a red one any fixes i no about Alejandrissimo but idk if he can fix this one I think my play is dead does anyone have anything I could do and if I took it the pace I got it from what would they say would they repair it or what or maybe replace it on the spot the bootloader was unlocked BTW running ics

what happens if you hold search when plugging in the usb cable?

tried that
if i too
k it to the local store i got it from would they give me a new one???

Use flashtool to restore to default firmware. Then re try

IMO it is not bricked, BUT you need to reflash the kernel or flash a different kernel. not sure if this applies to the R800 but do you have a charge only cable?

Did you download the proper ftf file for your phone and place it in the "firmware" folder?

This happened to me. Get flash tool and do not connect t until it prompts you. So select the file you wanna flash and such and at the end then connect your phone itll work. Just take your battery out each time you fail to make sure your phone is off. Believe me I was worried to but for some reason that trick worked.

I know you mentioned Alejandrissimo, so I just want to ask, how long did it take for him to get your Google Talk invite? I contacted him by the website and it told me that it cost 24 USD and to add him on Google Talk, I sent him $24 through paypal, the transaction completed according to the site so I'm sure he got it, but I've been waiting on Google Talk for about 3 hours now. I'm sure he's probably busy right now though. Just curious.

Okay, but the computer doesn't recognize the PHONE!
When I connect the phone to the computer, the LED flashes red and the computer says there is something plugged, but not identified, preventing the flash boot.

Now i can connect the phone to the PC, but only lights up the green LED (charging, i guess), even if i hold the "back" or the "search" button while plugging the USB.
This LED is the only proof of, at least, it is receiving energy.

FINALLY. Your advice worked. I did the same thing the OP did, flashed a kernal from cm9. I couldn't even get the charger to recognize or do anything. After taking battery out and starting flashtool process first, It took 4 times with flashtool. Thanks again.

It is not working for me. Could you guys give some more details of how you did it? I have tried already like 15 times and no luck. Also, is it happening to you guys that the phone will ONLY go into flashmode? I can flash anything into it but it will not boot, it will just stay in flashmode.
What I am doing is basically have the phone without battery and then start flashtool until it asks me to connect the phone. At that point I place the battery and connect the phone to the usb without pressing the BACK key, as it is not needed in my phone. Once the flashing is done, the phone goes into flashmode again.
Did this happen to you too?

Cesarramson,
Yep, sounds familiar. Is your phone unlocked? Is it r800x or another?

[Q] Nexus 7 Hardbricked?!

Okay, so recently installed the 4.4.2 OTA on my completely stock nexus 7 (unrooted, bootloader still locked).
Tried connecting to my PC via bluetooth (for headset) and noticed that it wasnt working (was working on 4.4), so decided that maybe a reboot would fix the problem.
And now the tablet doesn't boot. Completely unresponsive, no charging icon etc. either. Tried holding down the power button, power and +/- vol for 20+ secs to no avail. Connecting the tablet to my laptop makes windows update search for the QHSUSB_DLOAD driver. From what I've read this is supposed to be some sort of hardbrick?
I left the tablet completely stock and haven't done any tinkering except use the Wugfresh toolkit to do a backup (which only needed USB debugging on). Also the battery was definitely 60%+ before I attempted rebooting.
Help please? This is completely out of the blue seeing as I never even unlocked the bootloader or anything?
Please help!

Gone through both of them, tried the steps in the first one but I cant get to fastboot, still a blank screen and QHSUSB_DLOAD in device manager. The second one mentions in it's FAQ that the bootloader must be unlocked before using it? Mine was locked so I guess I cant use that method?

Hmm, well, last ditch would be to charge it overnight, and hold the power button down for several minutes, if that doesn't do it, you may have to just use the warranty.

Alright so still no dice. Warranty is out of the question because I bought an imported version off eBay before it was officially available on Google play here in India.
From what I've understood this may be recoverable. People have made fixes for some HTC devices etc. Basically if someone could makes a "QCN" backup from a working device I may be able to restore the bootloader using the Qualcomm drivers. Or would this tool be of any use?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1308546
Not too familiar with all this low level flashing stuff - so need a second opinion. Will try again today evening, leaving it unplugged this time.

Yeah, I don't know much about that either, sorry, I'm not going to be much help there.

Ok, am I the first person with this problem? When the device is plugged in to the PC and I try holding down the buttons (tried almost every combo I could think of) the disconnect/connect sound plays and the tablet is re-detected by device manager as QHSUSB_DLOAD. Im extremely disappointed that this can happen even without screwing around with the system.
The warranty card with the tablet seems to imply international warranty although not specifically stated, it's from the US, so would taking it to an Asus center in India be of any use?

Only works for a couple of HTC devices, tried asking in the IRC channel and was told that it wont help at all. Held the power button for over a minute nothing happens, still the same in device manager although I can tell it restarts back into the same mode from the connect/disconnect sound.

Downloaded them, I think a USB driver is needed for the tablet to show up as a COM port, I've tried a few drivers but QPST Configuration was unable to connect. Even if it were able to connect I dont know what to do after that, it seems that some device-specific hex/qcn/xml files are needed and this is the mode the manufacturer uses when flashing the bootloader. Does this mean that my bootloader somehow magically corrupted itself?!

That's exactly the thing, it doesnt get into fastboot mode or anything, I assume you need a working bootloader to be able to boot fastboot? If it was in fastboot I would have attempted this already.
Anyway the seller says that the item is covered under a 1 year international warranty, thats my only chance now I guess....
The thing that concerns me is that I was completely stock, locked bootloader and unrooted. Only installed the official OTA updates (no sideloading either).

For those who are interested - I finally had time to drop by the service centre. They replaced the battery and motherboard (it was under warranty). I was expecting them to do some magic with QPST or something though.

The same has just happened to me, but I'm out of luck, the warranty has expired.
Did anyone have managed to fix it with the QPST drivers?
thanks.

Nope. Believe me when i say no. There is a program called QPST, made by Qualcomm which is able to detect the DHD in this state. But we dont have the necessary files for resurecting the phone.
Those files are only available to Qualcomm devs. I searched high and low for the files but got nothing. We started a thread for it somewhere in the Q&A Section.
To Shed some light on your problem, There are two things that can cause your device to end up in this state.
1. Either you have a corrupt bootloader, radio
2. Fried or burnt emmc chip or emmc controller.
My suggestions are you can send the phone out for JTAG repairs.(They would short circuit the motherboard and reflash your bootloader...that is if its a curropted bootloader or radio fault).
Or you could you could find another DHD with a cracked screen on ebay. SInce the screen is cracked, the price would be low.
All you would have to do is swap the DHD with the cracked screens motherboard with yours and voila!!
