my phone wont turn on after applied the leaked OTA. does that mean my phone is gone?

Wont turn on as-in when you press the power button absolutely nothing happens?
Take the battery out and press power a few times, then put the battery back in and try again

Did you apply the OTA twice, if you did naughty naughty. You have a brick.
Also have you tried a battery pull?

As far as I know, bricking a radio update would atleast still allow you to turn the phone on, it would just be stuck at initializing the bootloader, correct me if I'm wrong anyone--
Also I would not bring it into a verizon store. Wait until the official OTA is released, then say you had a problem with that.

Just let your service continue as normal.
Also, silly question, I know, but have you tried variations of plugging it in/unplugging with/without battery?
And when you plug the phone in, does the charge light come on?

The update should be here in less than a month. Didn't you get the insurance? Just claim it lost/stolen. If you have a moral dilemma in doing that then just toss it in a dumpster or a lake. Then claim it lost/stolen.

Can you hold power + optical button to boot to bootloader and recovery? If so you could possible get it fixed of you follow this guide:
http://androidforums.com/all-things...16-how-revert-back-earlier-version-hboot.html
If your phone doesnt function at all you could attempt the following.
You could just say this at a Verizon store.
I charged my phone last night, when I woke up this morning the back of the phone was extremely hot almost to hot to hold and when I tried to turn the phone on or whatever you want to say pressed the power key, etc it would not turn on or you could say your screen came on for a second and then went out and the phone powered down and would not come back on.
Or
if you have insurance just say it was stolen, lost, dropped in a lake, etc.

Strange--i'm not sure if a bricked radio would cause that, but it could perhaps indicate another issue. Does the radio's firmware also control the phones power/charging system?

yes and yes it could. the radio contains the big bad bootloaders. if it stopped mid update, its gone. you might try connecting usb to pc. and see if you get a device id.

I guess if that gets nuked the only way to recover it would be a manual hot-air removal and a manual reflash of the chip itself (good luck finding the papers for it), and then reflowing the chip back to the board (also assuming here it's one NAND). You'd think with the way these things work they would have a fail-over chip or something, phone falls off desk during OTA, battery goes flying. FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
explain exactly what you did, and what it did. as much detail as possible.

1. i downloaded PB31IMG from the leaked 2.2 thread last night. (old pb31img). installed and got it running. he said install official OTA but none pushed to me.
so i downloaded the new PB31IMG and installed over. BUT after installed, the phone reboot and running great.
2. next, i download the leaked OTA and rename it to update *zip file*
3. i boot into recovery and start the update. after that it said something like, hit power button/reboot to continue the process. so i did. after that a green circle with arrow point counter-clockwise showed up and after a moment it turned off and on *same green icon* and off again. after that nothing happens.

I have researched and researched but haven't quite found someone with the same exact situation as me.
I had flashed back to stock using odin one-click. Everything was good and dandy untill i decided it would be a good idea to check for updates. In the middle of the update it froze. I gave it some time but nothing seemed to happen so i cancelled the update. It then told me it was going to reboot. When the phone shut off, it really shut off. Nothing works the phone won't turn on, won't connect by usb, 3 button combo is also a no go. The only thing i really have left is to try the jig. Does anyone have a information on this problem or if jiggin will work. Anything will help me with my anxiety at this point. Thanks

Not if you used Odin to go back to stock. Plus, if you can't get into download mode, chances are that the people at the exchange center aren't going to be able to get into your phone to check anyway.

Thanks for everything. It all worked out great. The jig didn't work, so i just went into att and said that my phone wouldn't turn on this morning, and they replaced it no questions asked.
This is why we need to stop universally telling people to odin 1 click all the time. it bricks the new phones and you need a jig to fix them.

This is not true... the Odin One-Click has worked perfectly with my phone, and it's one of the newer ones. It's because he canceled midway during the update. The same thing happened to me when I canceled something midway after an Odin One Click, and then nothing would go into Download mode. I brought it back to Radio Shack and the guy tried everything (including a jig), but couldn't get it into Download Mode either, so they just replaced it.
If you have a build 1010 phone or newer, be aware that you are playing with fire if you 1-click.
Hi guys,
Very strange problem, just got my Nexus 4, it prompted me to update. It was plugged in, charging, I let it restart to update and it simply never came back on. It didn't do any of the Android update process (with the Android on screen), just shut off, and never woke up again.
I've tried holding down volume + power, and the only thing that happens when I do this is the LED notification light flashes red for a few seconds then turns off, then repeats 10 seconds later.
Has anyone got any ideas of what could be the problem, any troubleshooting tips? It seems to be turning on in some way but not properly in that when I plug it into my Windows machine, it starts to install drivers, but still no real sign of life.
Otherwise, looks like I'll be sending it back and waiting weeks for a replacement..
Trying pulling the battery, oh wait...

Ok, I think I've solved it.
I did a bit of searching for similar problems on LG devices, and found a thread on Microsoft.com about an LG Optimus 7. (Do a search for 'LG optimus 7 not turning on' (top result) I can't post links yet).
Yes, a LG Windows Phone device.
I unplugged the device, held down Vol up and Vol down + Power for around 10 seconds, then plugged the device back in and it booted up. The problem is, it is doing this every time and sometimes this method takes a few tries to get it working.
Once the device boots up, it is fine, but this means I can't install the latest OTA update as when it goes to reboot to install, it just falls over, and to get it to start again you need to essentially do a hard reset.
The good news is that I can probably wait a few weeks for the stock levels to replenish before sending it back so I'm not waiting too long without it.
This happened to me at the store yesterday thankfully they were able to call another store before they opened and hold one for exchange seeing how you fixed it I'm glad I wasn't able to resurrect it right then and there

QHUSB_DLOAD usually means a hard-brick. Does it power on at all? You might try leaving it plugged in overnight, but I suspect your phone just died.

That fix is only for a couple of specific issues:
Note: This will fix only devices which were bricked by turning S ON. And bricks caused by a damaged hboot via interrupted OTA update/RUU flash on a S-ON device. Any devices bricked with other ways are currently *not* supported. We are working on it

It's a hardware fault, from everything I've seen, and HTC or AT&T should replace it. AT&T tends to be very easy about this. If the phone won't power on at all, they shouldn't give you a hard time.
Hi everyone, I'm sure this question has been answered before but being a complete noob, I honestly don't understand ANY of the technical terms such as "rooting", "flashing", "ROMS", etc etc. So most of the answers I have read make zero sense to me.
My phone started bootlooping when it was in my bag and I have no idea why it started doing so. The battery ended up draining enough to get it out of the bootloop and it was working fine for a day or so, until I put it back in my bag to go out and when I took it out, it was bootlooping again.
What I am trying to ask is what might be the cause of this and is there anyone who can explain how to fix this issue (in simple terms) so that I'd understand?
Cheers.

since it seems you haven't done anything to your phone (ie unlocking, custom ROMs, etc), this could likely be a hardware problem.
how's the power button working? damaged?
you can also do a factory reset in bootloader, power off your phone, then hold VOLDOWN, press POWER, keep holding VOLDOWN until the bootloader appears (the white screen, with a few options), you use VOLUP and VOLDOWN to move the "cursor" and POWER to select the option you want.

The problem with my phone is that I found it. Turned it in and no one claimed it for a substantial amount of time so I gained ownership of it. I don't have the warranty or anything that came with the phone except for the phone itself and the charger. If I took it to a phone repair shop would they possibly be able to fix it? Or am I screwed...
Okay so I let my phone run out of battery over night and just plugged it in to charge then and it's seemed to have gotten out of the bootloop and it working normally now, so would this still possibly be a hardware issue? And is there anything I can do to prevent it from bootlooping again?
i phoned up orange and they said to ring htc as ive only had the phone for 5 months . will ring them 2moro. pain in the ass.

Im not sure this is hardware related, there are a few things you can try though to prevent this from happening again. first off, if you ever do encounter another bootloop... pressing and holding in the power button for around 20 seconds or so forces a reboot, the capacitive button on the bottom will start to blink. Second would be to boot into thee bootloader by powering down the phone, holding the volume down button and powering back on while holding voldown. this will bring you to a menu described above eariler, then do a factory reset.
