Hi,
a few days ago my friend gave me his I9305 to flash kitkat custom rom. I thought "easy"...
But not.
After flash TWRP via ADB, i turned off phone and until this day it's dead.
I can't boot phone, still blackscreen.
Can't get into DL or recovery mode too.
No vibration, no LED lighting.
True rock.
I tried lots of method to unbrick phone as copy from linux machine debrick image, but i could just copy i9300 img, i can't find any i9305 debrick image.
Odin doesn't see my phone, but...
computer does. QHUSB_DLOAD device. I used drivers for that and now I have uncompletly installed Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008.
I gave my friend dark-pink HTC meanwhile and he isn't fascinated.
Wish i will find help here

you flashed a wrong file, QHUSB_DLOAD its a qualcomm high speed usb download mode, its used like a odin, but more emergencial than it.(and only for qualcomm soc devices)
see what i wrote? it´s a q qualcomm thing, yet the i9305 its an exynos device, just the american models are qualcomm devices(dual core snapdragons). you cant do anything now, the file you flashed probably contained a qcom bootloader. you best bet would be jtag
JTAG?
i can buy it, but i can't find any information about that which parts of JTAG I have to buy and most important thing... I need image to flash via JTAG. I can find 2134253468855 guides how to revive i9300, but 0 about i9305...
An I9305 should never give QHSUSB_DLOAD, being Exynos. Looks like you've got a US Galaxy S3 reprogrammed to look like an I9305. You flashed actual I9305 FW on it, which the Qualcomm SoC can't make sense of, hence QHSUSB_DLOAD.
Use a guide for US-spec S3s to revive it.

i used other battery.
i bought usb dongle to boot s3 into download mode. works on i9300, but not on i9305 with fine battery.
US spec? i9305 is from Hong Kong, they have no idea about that i guess.
absolutely the same brick over here with european version (germany). have u found a solution or did you throw the phone away?
I have a Galaxy Tab model SGH-I957D (Telus) that I got from a friend who tried to unlock it to work on any SIM card and managed to totally brick it. It will not turn on (or vibrate) at all but the processer section does get warm indicating it is doing something. When I connect it to the computer it shows up as 24! separate drives (which windows cant mount due to them being a Linux format). If I connect it to a Linux computer 5 of the drives will auto mount. Under windows it shows up as a marshall london composite usb device 9006 and I tired following this guide: forums.oneplus.net/threads/updated-29-03-2016-mega-unbrick-guide-for-a-hard-bricked-oneplus-2.347607/page-5 (see post #84) but when I tried installing the drivers under windows 10 it said they were the wrong ones. I did manage to install the Qualcomm USB Composite Device 9006 by downloading this file: yuplaygod.com/files/YUPHORIA/YUPHORIA_drivers-v1.0.zip but that is as far as I got. Since Linux can see the partitions could I somehow recover them manually with the stock firmware image that is meant to be flashed with odin? I can attach a log file I found on one of the partitions if that would help. You can look at all the steps that I have so far taken in this other forum: eevblog.com/forum/repair/samsung-galaxy-tab-8-9-lte-unbricking/
Anyone have a root method for the SGH i957 att lte version running 4.0.4 ICS? I have been looking everywhere for a solution. There are tutorials on the 7300 7310 7320 and 7320t but nothing on the i957. From what I have read this requires a different rooting process than the 7300 series. I believe the 7320 and 7320t are lte versions but the kernels and methods will brick this one. Am I right? Can anyone point me in the right direction? I am new here to XDA. I have leaned a ton in the short time I have been here thanks to forums, threads, and responses from members of the community. What a huge resource of helpful people and information! Thank you!
I've been running NG3 rooted for 2 years w/ T-Mobile. Due to recent changes on the Tmobile network (they dropped 1900 and switched to b12 = 700a which the 870 can't acquire) I've been forced to move to ATT. When their SIM was loaded I could get 4gLTE so data and text worked, but couldn't make or receive any calls. The signal would drop entirely - no 4gLTE or bars.
I decided I'd try to reload the full NE4. The PC wouldn't recognize the phone via USB (new and old drivers tried). I tried 3 PC's same issue device unknown regardless of Samsung driver age. My wife has the same phone and same issue. Since USB wasn't being recognized (nor on my wifes 870) ODIN was out so I booted and tried loading via the SD card. Well I apparently bricked my phone attempting this. It won't boot beyond the SAMSUNG logo (thereabouts). I can't access the phone via USB. I can however use the bootloader (?) (v-up + pwer + home) and attempt to load from the SD card. I have several stock roms but I receive errors attempting to load these - " footer wrong" and " signature verification failure". I tried Downloading them again but md5 is good on them all
I'm not having fun... . Does anyone know how I can get my phone to load from the boot screen without these errors? I need to get my wife's 870 working too. Her phone can text but no calls (same scenario only I didn't mess here's up just yet). The boot screen on my phone still shows last up date NG3.
I 'm not concerned about being rooted or which version I land on anymore, I'd just to get it working again. Any help is much appreciated - thank you
for what it's worth talking to myself ... the USB cable I've been using for years and has always worked. Tried it on my wife's phone and didn't work but still thinking it's the PC unable to load the USB drivers. Bought 2 new phones. Tried the cable on the new phone - no drivers. Tried the new USB cable that came with the new phone and it worked fine. Used the new USB cable on my soft bricked phone and drivers loaded. I was able to use Odin to upload the OF3 revision to my G870 successfully. Now I'm looking for a way to root it.
any links please?
You can search for "wonder share mobile go" and find how to root with it.
OMG - That was amazing. It rebooted a few times but "SUCCESS". I can't believe all the steps we go through on XDA (and I love XDA) to root a phone but this was 1 click = done. The OF3 can easily be rooted with this software. I uninstalled it (cause I don't trust it) but the root remained and I'm rocking and fat happy.... AND the KNOX = 0
ON THE OTHER HAND - the software soft bricked my Moto G5 Plus. It's not all it's cracked up to be. I contacted the company and it really seemed to me the person responding couldn't read English. Their responses were incoherent and didn't approach the subject at all. Like they were from another country. Yeah.. one of those companies who rely on foreigners to handle their tech support. I'll never use that software again - not trust worthy and the techs are clueless
Thank you very much
So uh a few months ago i installed the android lollipop update on my galaxy s4 active SGH-i537, After the update installed it wouldn't turn back on even after charging it! then later that day i tried to fix the device via odin. it wouldn't detect the device. windows detects my device to be a "Qualcomm QD-Loader 9008" i also googled that name. and then thats when i found out the device was hard bricked. so can someone lend me a hand and help me out with this? i have no idea what to do anymore.
Hi, I received from a friend this phone as it seemed dead to him, But each time i plug it into my computer. It opens up a COM port labelled Qualcomm Loader (Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COM14)), Nothing seems wrong with the port neither the phone, I can't confirm any activity on it as the screen seems damaged completely (it is cracked too). Any idea if it can be recovered from the state it is in right now?
I got my hands on some Qualcomm flashing tool but i can't seem to find a firmware file compatible with the tool. All i get is .ZIP or .EXE versions of the official RUU files from HTC, Which i can't seem to use them as i can't really see what's happening on the phone. I will try to get a screen replacement for it if it helps.
