Try the short circuit trick while battery is discharged or zero, although it is quite difficult to confirm so when the phone's dead

[Q] Hard Bricked OneX (international version with Tegra 3)

Hi,
I have a OneX and yesterday totally bricked.
Maximus 4.1.1 JB, Unlocked Bootloader via htc developers and the phone is can't power on.
Befor this problem, i have other problems with charging and wifi.
Yesterday, the wifi is not turning on. Ok, restart. F*ck this s**it Bootloop. OK, stay calm, try to wipe data. Ok, the phone is booting after wipe data. "Change your language", ok, it set and click next. Here is the problem. Ok i lock the screen and lock off. I can't lock off the srceen. Ok, reboot with long pressed power button. The phone thence not booting and not chargeing,
Anyone knows what's the problem?
I can solve this problem or go to gsm service?
solution
I suggest you to pick you're self up,calm down,and slowly update you're HOX onto the lattest and grattes maximus v 6.o.
Before that,make sure that you're phone is fully charged,back up you're old/current rom and continue.
Don't panic,don't *itch and *oon,it's just a ****ing phone

Thanks your letters, and the help, but the phone does not turn on :S
Turn it completely off and let it charge on the wall for a complete day^^ After that please STUDY THE INSTALL GUIDE OF YOUR CHOOSEN ROM PRECISELY AND READ IT AT LEAST 10 TIMES, this is very important. Now you're ready to flash a ROM. If it's still not wokring, you could've a serious problem with your One X. To have a working warranty claim you have to relock your bootloader!!

I've read your first post. You won't see it if it's carging. Try the following; plug your phone to the wall charger for a couple hours and then try to turn it on. If it doesn't turn on, well, thats bad I remember there were some fixes for not charging ONE X's. I'll have a search if charging doesn't work for you.

I had this problem the other day, the battery died before i went to bed, so i plugged it in over night and nothing happened, thought it was the charger, tried a different htc charger and nothing again. So i plugged it into my computer and a few minutes later the light started to flash. I let it flash for a few minutes and unplugged it from the computer and plugged it into a charger and turned it on and it charged up.
Long story short, plug it into your computer for a while then turn it on and charge it normally.

Happened to me also but when running bricked kernel.
If your not running the stock kernel you need to put the phone on the charger and just wait untill the red led starts to blink ( it can take 5mins for this to happen )
Then allow it to blink for a few mins then power on as normal and remove the charger.
It will boot and moan it has no charge so plug the charger back in once its booted fully, then leave it to charge.
once at 100% reboot and bam your back up and running as normal.

Here are some people facing the same problem as you do.
There is a file (script) that can override those stuff,it is meant for fastboot (usb) mode,and on adb you type the commands and the phone starts to charge (slowly) but it is getting the electricity.
Search the threads,and find it,I'm 99% possitive that you're phone is not fully bricked.
Best of luck
So lets give the guy some proper help. Tell me exactly where you are now ? Is the phone charged ? If you have enough power to boot in recovery ? It will charge within recovery so you can leave the phone on and in recovery !
Download a ics rom (like viper x) see if that works oke !
put the phone in fastboot USB mode
Bootloader unlocked - if yes continue
Flash the cwm recovery 5.8.4.0
Fastboot flash recovery recoveryname.img
Go into recovery and do a full wipe of everything. (Factory reset and wipe all caches)
Go to mounts & storage and mount as USB diskdrive
Copy the rom.zip to the phone sd card
Open the rom.zip and copy the boot.img to the fastbootfolder on pc
Put the phone back in fastboot USB mode
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
Fastboot erase cache
Boot back into recovery and flash the rom
After that reboot the phone and it should boot up !
Ahh...
Lesson, this phone IS NOT TURNING ON!
And... unfortunately despite charged few hour... The phone still bricked and i can't turn it on :S

What you can try is to plug it into a pc .... i saw a post before that someone did that and that he could turn on the phone a few hours later. It's worth the try right !

My PC is detecting only the APX hardware. And my phone keep dead.
It's rather hardware issue. Service maybe?
1x, xda premium hd
Apx hardware? I think your memory is corrupt.
Try plugging your phone into charger overnight, then into pc for charge and hold the Vol dwn + pwr for 15 seconds, if the phone doest turn on then you have dead hardware. You can go back to HTC and tell them it stopped working overnight ;D
The good thing in a bricked phone they can't find out whether your bootloader is unlocked or not.
However, some developers are interested in APX mode(because its not accessible in a working phone) and I THINK you can use nvflash (i have no idea how its used or whats its functions are)
APX Mode is when the phone detects very serious hardware damage. In short, you're ****ed.

check through adb if the phone is getting connected or not.
if not then try booting it into fastboot mode or recovery mode.

If after charging the battery, LED still blinks red than may be your battery is dead.
try changing the battery.
also try connecting the phone in flashmode
- keep pressing the back button & while holding the back button connect the usb cable.
if green LED is on than your phone is still good.
Report back!

Zenfone 2 cannot start up

Hi all,
Need some help with my Zenfone 2 ZE551ML 4GB/32GB.
Decided to flash Nougat custom ROMs so followed these steps
Connected phone to PC and ran MM BL upgrade. It completed successfully.
Rebooted to BL, then rebooted to recovery, saw the new 3.0.2-M1 TWRP.
Went to TWRP and activated Sideload, ran ADB sideload command to load Nougat DU. It completed 100%.
Proceded to sideload gapps but connection failed. Maybe need to reactivate sideload in TWRP again.
Touched USB cable and the phone switched off. Ever since then it does not boot up and screen does not light up anymore.
Phone was on MM RR, BL unlocked. Battery was at 100% when performing the above actions.
Is there anything else (other than bringing it to ASUS) I can do to revive the phone?
Hi , I'm in a rush here , just one question to start ..
Can you get into bootloader via buttons not connected to charger ?
Do you know how to ?
Ps , you don't need to sideload roms in twrp , you just install them after usual wipes.

I can't. The way is to press the volume up and power buttons at the same time, and release the power button when the phone vibrates after a few seconds.
On my phone there was no response whatsoever.
Yeah I know I don't have to sideload ROMs, but I was lazy to copy it to the SD card.
Plus I had plans to wipe the internal SD card, so didn't copy there either...

Sounds like you are bricked my friend
but do try holding power button and vol for a good length of time...then power button too on its own for some time..
If and when you get two vibes , if no boot loader
Check unbrick threads .
If get bootloader , scroll to recovery select it .
Next time download roms to fone
safer !
I think kernel is in panic mode. Try disconnecting the battery for a little while and then reconnect it. You'll have to open your phone to do it. There are many YouTube videos to see how you can do so. It's not that difficult. Good luck!
I'm in the same boat... no even LED while connected to the charger... Already disconnected the battery and closed again. No joy. Is this a "deep brick of death"?? Its too expensive to give away without fight a little. Any help is more than welcome
There are threads on xda that describe how to revive hard bricks.
For me, disconnecting and reconnecting the battery had worked.
Please make sure that battery is connected perfectly.
Sometimes , leaving on charge brings at least the two vibes back eventually
That's enough to start xFSTK unbricking process.
Besides the already mentioned battery disconnect.
I seen one guy revive by disconnecting USB board too

Problem is the PC was unable to detect the phone in IntelSOC mode. Absolutely no response.

You mean leave it connected to PC to charge until the two vibes came back?
I originally did have the two vibes, but the phone was connected to the charger at that point.
Unfortunately I don't have the vibes even connecting to the same charger now.
I believe the solution now is to try to recover the bootloader and restore the OS.
Question is how to get it detected in PC in IntelSOC mode.

When you get two vibes back , you can install isoc driver and your PC will recognise it.
In the early days before unbricking knowledge of zen 2 , I also witnessed the same , blank screen no vibes
What I did was leave it on charge , every hour or so ..press power plus vol plus , quick press , then after a longer press , if nothing then just power , quick press and a longer press.
Then I awoke to the vibes
Once the vibes start , then its install isoc , don't install xFSTK downloader until driver is set up
PS , that was before we found discon of battery method and still had warranty

Can I ask how many times you tried before getting the two vibes back?
And it was connected to the PC's USB port?
I asked because I did have the vibes when connecting to the wall charger.
But it went away when I then connect to the PC. And now there are no vibes even when connecting to wall charger.

Leave on charge , means exactly that, leave on charger .
Leave it on a full day , if fone gets warm its charging .
Try all the stuff already mentioned.
Some people have give up , thrown fones in draw and 3 months later come back to life.
Some people hot wired battery straight to charger too, but that's off limits .
There is nothing straight forward that works for everyone , here is a few exanples of what revived many fones ,you pay the price for being lazy
We all learn the hard way

Asus Z00A bricked

Hi guys, I had my bootloader lost so i followed this guide https://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone2/general/guide-brick-soft-hard-bricked-zenfone-2-t3284256 and it worked like a charm except for flashing OS part, on fastboot it said 'Result: Okay' but in AFT it said 'That interface is already detected in UI, please delete it and reconnect device' so I did it and still the same so since the result was okay in fastboot I wanted to try get into recovery hoping it'll start-up and just when I pressed 'vol up' button it didn't even change the choice in fastboot, screen just faded out and phone isn't even charging now, adb doesn't see it, fastboot isn't booting up, no vibration, PowerBank is detecting the device and is power draining -> phone even is heating a little like it is charging but no screen/led :crying: Help me guys, pls

Try charge overnight from wall charger.
Press power for a good length of time and restart the flash if you get the 2 vibes back.
Watch the video closely in the first 7 mins, I suspect you had normal bootloader tho.
Temp ifwi version after flash is 0094 0169 .
What was yours ?

Reason i suspect you got normal bootloader is because after success of OS you get four colours before bootloader , which you dont mention and i have witnessed flashing ifwi and fwr dnx and it booting into bootloader without success of OS , that bootloader version was not the temp one needed to flash raw or atleast the OS partitions correctly ready for raw. Point being , i thought i was bricked but wasnt , just a temp death blank screen situation and then getting success in ifwi and fwr corrupted the device further , so a full re flash in xFSTK and success fixed it.
Getting the two vibes back is a bit hit n miss , nothing straight forward -- battery gets hammered flashing in xFSTK and usb charging isnt enough plus the fact your device might be on, yet shows no signs although it will be recycling itself till death without the juice to vibrate .
pressing power for a good length of time after a good charge , you might get one vibe depending on the state of off or on while on charge, i have had the vibes kick in halfway thru the night.
Some people have disconnected battery and reconnected to get success in xFSTK
good luck :good:
After a like 7-8h of charging it still doesn't vibrate even once
You want to let it charge for a full day without touching it

If device warmed up while on charge , then it will be charging , maybe disconnect battery and reconnect trying xFSTK.
If not warming then it's a hard wire charge like mentioned .
Well, it's working now, I had to reconnect battery and it came out that OS has been flashed but battery had an error, after reconnect it booted up like nothing happened, thanks to all of you for help

Hard bricked and Solved.

First things first, NEVER RESTORE A TWRP BACKUP YOU CREATED IN ONE VERSION IN ANOTHER VERSION.
Now coming to my situation, I installed the Deodexed Stable Zui Oreo ROM but as usual got bored with the zui and wanted to go back to my fav Pixel experience Rom so I clean flashed it from the unofficial hendibudi recovery but I couldn't use my internal storage and I once earlier read in another thread that installing 3.0.3 decrypts it so I installed that recovery and clean flashed AEX5.2 Rom this time and same internal storage problem continued so my lazy ass thought I'll restore the TWRP backup I created when I unlocked the bootloader instead of flashing through qfil and that was my mistake.
I created the backup on 3.1.0 but now I was on 3.0.3 so as soon as I restored the backup and rebooted, my phone didn't turn on, no zuk logo or led or anything, if I long press the power button it just vibrates and the led flashes for a sec, that's all.
Edit: feels like this thread belongs to the News/Discussions section than here but meh
Edit2: Solution in Post #4
It seems like qfil, mi flash method is last as your bootloader is also corrupted, and this happens because there are many critical hidden partition on our device so it mess up, when you install first twrp releases, you will notice there are 7 8 partition and in latest one they all are hidden.

well if it's that easy I wouldn't be worried at all but unfortunately my situation is a bit different, I can't flash anything as my phone is recognized as 900E, to flash anything the phone should be recognized in 9008(edl) mode and for that I have to strip the cable and short circuit with it and all that, which is really a hit or miss kinda situation so kinda worried!
But seems like I have no other choice so let's see what happens, I tried stripping the stock usb cable and it got split into half lmao
now I'll buy another cable and will try the copper wire method instead of splitting it
Edit: yeah ik that different versions of TWRP are different but I wanted to restore only the data partition and my data was already encrypted so I thought I have nothing to lose, I was like if it doesn't work I'll flash the full firmware again but didn't expect it to fully brick the phone
Okay the primary reason for me creating this thread was to let y'all know how I bricked my device so that y'all won't repeat my mistake but I saw some people here and there recently asking how to resurrect their device so thought I'll share how I got mine working wishing it'll help such people.
My phone was completely dead, the hardware buttons weren't doing anything, the phone doesn't power off but all I could see was a black screen, so I had to follow THIS GUIDE.
But the above situation is a rarity, I guess most of you ppl could get to the zuk logo or your led keeps flashing and you can use your hardware buttons, in such situations, follow THIS GUIDE.
The above links are for you to get your phone to 9008 mode to be able to flash the stock firmware, but if you don't know how to flash,
refer THIS GUIDE.

Only one solution is there.. after u get sahara error.. disconnect your phone and cable, then again turn your phone on. And then turn it off... After that press volume up+ power button simultaneously while connecting to the usb port, if you are successful, within 2-3 seconds you have to press the download button on QFIL.. then it should work... You can try 2-3 times... For demo, but thia is the only way out of this hard brick
.. i suffered in the sahara error for 3 days since i flashed OOS on my z2 , till today i finally got the solution

Not 2 minutes but i think 30 seconds at max.. and by successful i mean that you get into Qualcomm 9008 qdloader mode in qfil

The main thing is you have to immediately press the download button(within 2-3 seconds) after reconnecting into 9008 mode

You don't need to flash via qpst when you see logo but device wont boot it mean you locked your bootloader so all you need to do is unlock it again that's all

Unfortunately learnt this after unbricking my device
I had installed RR mix rom in my Zuk Z2 plus. while trying to enter fastboot mode, it went off. Now it is completely dead. not being recoganized in my PC.In device manager it is not shown. Tried to deep flash through Qfil, but didn't recoganize port.If i plug in charger also no LED indication, If I disconnect battery & plug in for charging, white LED slowly blinks, in the same mode if I connect charger blinking white LED continues. But once I remove charge & reconnect it shows nothing. again if I remove battery & reconnect, again white LED starts blinking. Apart from this nothing is shown, phone completely dead. Can anybody help please. I tried through Qfil, tried by shorting black & green cable, all types of key combinations.
