[Q] dead battery on my TP? brick? - TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi!
I need your help because my touchpas seems dead or bricked...
In april , I left it charging for a week, i forgot it, and when i returned, it was shut down and impossible to boot.
I tried all the keys combinations and nothing.
So i tried the qpst and tpdebrick method.
The TP was reconised on win8 as " Qualcomm hs-usb QDLoarder 9008" and the qpst emmc download ran well, once on ubuntu I had an error,impossible to use tpdebrick.
I tried with power + home at least a minute and the red battery icon displayed for one half second .
Yesterday, I followed this topic, battery is charging since.
Today, I disconnected it, with a multimeter, I have only 2.11V on the green wire, nothing on the pink + .
Do I have to change the battery ?
It it a brick?

[Q] Is my HTC One bricked?

Hello,
I have the HTC One (M7) from AT&T. The phone has never been rooted and I have not yet unlocked it bootloader. I have not done any of these modifications to it. I was simply using it when it turned off and then got really hot.
When I try to turn it on, the screen stays black even though it vibrates after 15 secs (like when it turns on). If I connect it to a wall charger the screen turns on with the battery icon and the red light blinking. I have drained the battery and tried the battery calibration trick (holding power and the vol + - buttons while using a bright light) and it has not worked.
When I plug it to my Windows PC it is not recognized except for today when it got recognized while I tried the battery calibration trick but the driver that was installed was something like this: Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008. I read in another thread that a user went through the same thin and some of the comments simply recommended him to take it to a store or that his motherboard was fried.
Is my phone bricked? Since I am not yet sure about this. And if not, is there a way to bring it back?

unfortunately QHSUSB_DLOAD mode means, as you said, a defective motherboard. You'll have to send the phone for repair.
sorry.

XSP won't charge or boot

Hi
I am stuck with a phone that won't boot, charge, or be detected by flashtool (or windows) and will not boot in flashmode/fastboot either.
I had plugged in the phone for charging when the battery was considerably low ~ 5-10% before I went to sleep. I remember the red LED glowing, meaning the phone must've been charging.
The next morning I check the phone, the LED was STILL red and the handset was kind of dead - no response at all, whatsoever. Even the reset button on the bacl panel doesn't work (no vibration).
The phone was running BlissPop (5.1.1) with Tangerine kernel.
Now when I plug in the phone for charging, nothing happens at all, not even the red LED. The LED does glow red for as long as I press and hold the power button while it is plugged in (both PC and wall outlet)
I took it to the service center; they say they'll have to change the motherboard. Obviously the phone is not in warranty and there is no way I can pay 10,000 INR that Sony is demanding for the job.
Someone somewhere in the forums suggested allowing the battery to drain completely, but I don't think my battery is holding any charge.
Can anyone help me out?
Thanks

1. Press and hold the reset button for 8 seconds and check if it vibrates. Now plug in charger as there is a possibility that phone is not booting because of insufficient charge.
2. Charge for atleast 20 min without switching on phone.
3. Make sure flashtool is installed properly and so as drivers.
4. Flash Stock ftf
If the above didnt work then try Fastboot mode and simply flash Tangerine kernel.
If nothing works, then its an hardware issue and there is no point in spending 10k in repairing.
Get yourself a brand new Moto G or yureka.

I was following the steps he provided: i plugged the phone to PC and held the power button pressed. Surprisingly the PC did recognize the phone after a while- but it was only momentarily and the red LED also stopped glowing. Unfortunately I haven't been able to reproduce a similar situation after that.
bump!

M7 will not power on. will not charge. jingles when plugged in.

Hello folks. thank you in advance.
I'm 99.9% sure my phone is done. I checked the forums and found similar issues - but nothing exactly like mine. after five day here is what happened, and my troubleshooting steps.
the issue started five days ago. my phone was plugged into my HTC wall charger, which was plugged into a power bar connected to the wall. I made dinner, ate, and came to get my phone.
the lights under the back and home buttons were lit up, but the screen was not. I pressed the unlock button
nothing happened.
I did it again
nothing.
seeing no other alternative I held down the power button until the lights flashed and the phone should have rebooted - instead, it shut off and never turned back on.
I pressed the power button. tried the volume down + power to access the bootloader for an FDR. but the phone still wouldn't power on.
I figured something was up with the battery. I plugged it in for a few minutes but the charging light never came on - it never even blinked.
so I charged it overnight.
the next day, the same thing.
no power, no charging no blinking.
I tried the wall charger, I tried my PC.
that was when I got a ray of hope - my laptop made the USB-connected jingle when I plugged the phone in. so I let if charge, but there was no light
this was when I turned to the forums.
I tried resetting the charging logic - charge for 10 min, unplug, hold down vol+ vol- and power for five minutes
five minutes and three very sore fingers later nothing happened. I tried the same thing holding the proximity sensor under a bright light (super blackout flashlight).
after this, I resigned myself to plugging the phone in for four days. it has been plugged into the wall charger since Tuesday. no red blink, not green light and still not powering on.
i'll also note that when the phone is plugged into a PC it show up in the device manager under the section "ports (com & LPT)" and is called "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COM4)".
i have also tried to boot the phone manually the ADB but it just says device not connected.
thank you in advane!
From what I know, if a phone is called Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COM4) (or anything with he first three words), then it has a hardbrick or is (sadly) dead... I can't help you, because I don't know how... I never had such a problem [emoji52]
Your phone can go in QHSUSB_DLOAD mode for 2 reasons:
Flashed an incompatible firmware ---> Recoverable
Hardware failure ----> Phone is dead (or will most likely need a new motherboard)
Since it went in this mode itself, then its #2.

[Q] Strange (hard?) brick

Hi,
After many years of enjoying this magnificent phone the disaster came.
The phone discharged overnight and switched off. In the morning I had to send some texts, so plugged the wall charger into USB socked (a weak one ~500mA), after few moments a charging icon appeared and stated that battery has 1%. Ok, I really had to send those messages: I've pressed the power button and phone started to boot.
Sony logo: OK, purple wave, OK...
After 10-20 seconds it suddenly switched of, red LED started to blink.
I thought: OK, system startup needs a lot of power, maybe a charger is too week to keep up.
So I left phone for few more minutes to charge, but without success.
That was the last time I saw screen was on.
Phone is a C6903, running on a stock, rooted 14.6.A.1.236 with the recent XZRecovery.
Bootloader has been unlocked.
For the moment I've tried everything but opening back and doing the testport-trick.
When I connect the power only red led blinks (I left the phone charging overnight, no change).
When I try to enter flash mode: nothing happens but red blinking light.
When I try to start phone nothing happens at all.
But there is still hope:
I connected the phone to 2A charger using a magnetic cable.
Then I've connected normal USB cable to my PC, strange thing started to happen:
When I pressed volume Up (even after few minutes of connecting power+usb) the phone suddenly jumped to fastboot mode (blue led, it was discovered by PC, fastboot terminal was functional)
When I press power button, phone vibrates for a second, then the led pattern changes to: 1s red followed by 0.1s green, then long red, then it repeats...
I'm still unable to enter any recovery nor flashmode...
I'd really appreciate any help, have you got any ideas left how can I revive my phone?

Hi, this just happened to me, my phone has been dead for over 4 weeks with just the red led blinking. i tried the test point thing with no success at that point I gave up but last week i decided to get a new genuine battery and it worked it booted up. Your battery is just completely dead thats why it won't boot up!

Thanks for the info! I've ordered a replacement battery already.
I'll open my phone today and measure all voltages. I'll keep you updated.
Good luck

Yup! That was it (at least I think so, I don't have new battery yet)
The Al part of positive battery terminal was broken: I have no idea why, maybe because of age, oxidation and high currents that were drained from this LiPo cell...
Anyway I've managed to temporarily join two broken Al parts, kernel and recovery booted successfully.
Now I need to wait for a replacement battery.
Phone is alive again, thanks tilakpatel for help!
But the magnetic cable trick might be useful in other hardbrick cases: just connect magnetic charger, connect normal USB cable to PC and hold volUp. Phone should be able to enter fastboot even with completely drained battery...

Mi5 bricked

I've got rooted phone, least update frome about 15/11, MIUI 8, everything worked fine. Today phone stopped, before I thought I had 40-30%, for sure not 0% and phone died. It's not charging with any charger, any wire (3 different wire, 3 different plugs or computers) Computer with in I rooted (so with drivers needed) not conecting also. No LED flashed.. It happened suddenly, with no changes before. I switch the phone and is no answere no led flash. Help. its bricked
My quastion is - Is any secret code to charge my battery?
just started, after 4 hours, so it's no solution
again, phone broke down complytly, no reaction next 3-4 hours (means no sign its working, no led whilst charging, no any sign its on, computer doesnt see a phone. I tried all of combinations of off-keys and +vol -vol like a recovery or fastboot. NOTHING. the phone has been bricked at all for me, than starterd....****in JUST. Charged on the same wire, charger like 10 minutes before, some bull**** at all
Can you check if any device shows up in Device Manager when plugging your phone to the computer? Like qualcomm hs-usb qdloader 9008 or similar.
