[Q] My Si won't start

Hi, I read some earlier posts about same problem as mine but they all failed ad changing boot loader or something else, but my situation is different.
I was chatting with friend on whatsapp nothing unusually battery was at 35% (btw I recently installed swapper maybe this has something with problem) and phone get freeze, I wait a little and I notice it is not working at all, I waited another 1 min and tryed to pull out battery but before I done that phone turned off itself, and I tryed to turn it on again but phone won't turn on, nothing shows on display, I tryed to put it in recovery mode, download mode nothing, I tryed to connect it on charger and pc with and without battery still nothing...
Did time came to spend a few bucks to repair it or this is just software fault ?

P.S. I recently installed cyanogen mod Smoothie V2 and CWM5504-CM9-recovery.
It was working almost as perfect except some short freezing when web browsing.

You could try to use a JIG. It will force the device to boot in download mode and them you can try to flash with Odin
You can find a guide here: http://www.google.de/url?sa=t&sourc...94HoAw&usg=AFQjCNHbzGIi_e55lP8M8jFMmcqpKCtkxw
If its not working tell me back
Hope i helped

QHSUSB_DLOAD mode??

Hi everybody,
a friend of mine got his HTC One (black) yesterday and rooted it. He flashed a proper custom ROM on it which I and another one of my work buddy use as well without any issues (InsertCoin). No further flashes done, no other custom kernels, no S-Off, no SuperCID. Just unlocked Bootloader and custom ROM.
He let the device run dry yesterday evening so it shut off itself automatically. He put it on his charger, the phone turned on, he did some surfing and installing apps from the market and set up his alarm. The phone charged over night and he was also able to switch off the alarm this morning.
He got ready for work, got into his car and wanted to switch on the screen on the one for some good tunes. But the screen stayed black.
When I arrived at work, he was a little upset and panicked a little. I thought I was able to recover the device.
After plugging it in to my work computer, the device manager just shows a unknown device called "QHSUSB_DLOAD" so I went to google and looked it up..
Weird thing is: QHSUSB_DLOAD wasnt seen yet on the HTC One (M7) as far as I can see it and it was pretty bad on the HTC One S. It means "Qualcom High Speed USB Download Mode" and on the One S as well as on the Nexus 4 this devices showed up after the bootloader got damaged or the device got stuck in that mode for good.
When plugging the device in (USB / Wall charger) the charging LED doesnt turn on at all, the capacitive buttons dont start to blink while holding down the power button as well.
This thing seems to be gone for good.
But aint it the way that we dont even have any access to the bootloader if its not an official update from HTC? Signature check and stuff? Since the device was rooted, no OTA updates were able to arrive at all. He told me that he didnt try to flash anything after we flashed the custom ROM.
Any advice on that?

Did you even try booting the device first thru hboot/bootloader or holding the power button to force a restart? If you did try connecting the device while on QHSUSB_DLOAD and execute a compatible RUU on your PC. RUU uses android's download mode to flash the ROM so it should be repaired by an RUU.

Already tried, no luck. Tells me the device has not been found.

I am sorry to hear that, man, but from the looks of it your friend now has a paperweight. I'd take it to an HTC service center and hear what they have to say regarding this; of course it will no longer be covered under warranty, but maybe they can fix it for you for a price or something.

Are you sure RUU can't find the phone? If it can't then I guess only a JTAG box can fix it so either send it to HTC for repair or have someone who knows JTAG fix it.

I saw this issue on my friend's GS3 once. It was hard bricked and there was no way to recover from what I read (at least on the GS3). I know I saw a thread somewhere here in this forum about the same issue and someone linked to a Sensation thread where there was a way to fix it but I'm not sure if it would apply to the One

Same problem - but the phone magically fixed itself!
I had the exact same problem with my HTC One as described in OP...
My alarm went off in the morning and I set off for work, my battery was low but I thought that I would just charge it when I got to work. I was playing a game (Dungelot) whilst waiting for my bus and was receiving pop up messages about low battery. When it got to 4% left I decided that I would finish the level then close the game down, but as I was just about to finish, the phone went blank...I assumed that I had naturally used up all the battery life and although peeved that I had probably lost my progress in the game, wasn't too bothered.
I got to work and plugged my phone in to charge on my computer. The computer wanted to search for QHSUSB_DLOAD drivers but I thought this must be what it does when my phone isn't switched on and it finds the device. I cancelled the search prompt and tried to switch my phone on...nothing happened.
I tried for the rest of the day, trying to force shut down the bricked phone by holding power in for 30 secs, trying to power into boot mode etc...everything! But the phone would not switch on and the only response I got from it was a little orange LED every now and again and the QHSUSB_DLOAD prompt.
After googling the prompt - I found myself here and REALLY began to sh*t my pants! I've only had the phone less than a month and felt I was tech-savvy enough to flash my phone with a new ROM (Android Revolution HD) to try and get rid of some of the bloatware. I had flashed a new ROM successfully a coupld of weeks before and everything had been fine up that point.
I went home depressed but throught i'd try to plug my phone into a proper mains charger rather than my work's old USB cable (that came with my previous HTC Desire Z) I was going to try a long night of searching the net to try and find a way where I could at least recover the photo's, Zoe's and vids of my new born son but had such a headache that I gave up and went for an early night.
I was woken unexpectedly the next morning by my phone alarm going off! I stopped the alarm and the home just went to Home screen as normal! I don't know how or why these events happened...whether it was the flashed ROM, the game I was playing, the battery running out before the phone could shut down properly, the old USB cable in my work not charging but detecting the device or a combination of all of those, but so far, the phone jumped back into life with the alarm after being charged in the mains all night!
Thought i'd share as it may just help someone else out there who encounters this!

Some phones have miraculously come back from QHSUSB_DLOAD with no explanation of why. Other than that it usually means a hard brick. You can send it to HTC, they will charge you and replace the main board, from what I've heard.

I wonder if having your alarm set saved you. This phone will actually power itself on so as not to miss an alarm.

My Solution
Had the same Problem.
My Solution was to Download "HTC One (M7) Toolkit" and force Fastboot.
Pushed Power and Volume Down until Screen was Flashing.
Took about 2 minutes and the Phone was rebooting.
I have no idea what was happening. I have no idea if this helps or works for others. But its worth trying.
Sorry for my bad english.

This is some kind of mode that is enabled when you hold power on button when the device battery is completely drained. i.e. when you try to turn device on it will not boot up (Special I was connected to usb cable via PC to charge my phone NEXUS 4 when I get into this mode). I saw a similar mode where nvflash commands are executed something like APX(can't recall correctly) with Tegra 4 device (that time also I was connected with a usb cable and charging the tablet when it was completely drained!). A simple solution to quit this issue is DO not Panic and let the device get a little charge. After that boot normally with the power button. In case if it didn't try other modes to enter such as recovery or fastboot reboot commands if your device is getting recognised..

QHSUSB DLOAD means its a hard bricked phone, No amount of messing about with it will fix it, Send it to a service centre, it will probable have to have the motherboard replaced..Sorry

My device entered in QHSUSB_DLOAD mode after the 4.4 ota was installed and 30 minutes later, I was able to turn up the phone. It restarted itself like 5 times and then it was normal. Miracle..

What do you mean by "force"? What did you do exactly?

My device wouldn't do anything, and it was in QHSUSB_DLOAD . But when I later pushed the power button for a minute, it worked.

mine spent the night carrying on waking took the charger and the green light for continued access, tried to turn it on but could not. After reading your response, I tried to hold the power button for longer. After 15 seconds the phone rang and the light came on, everything works perfect so far

Today while I was updating firmware phone gone to QHSUSB_DLOAD mode.
I am guessing it's end of road. :crying:

[Q] Htc Nexus one bricked?

Hi there!
This thread is my last hope, so please dont let me down folks...:cyclops:
The story short - one sunny morning i turned on my HTC Nexus One and it got stuck with te X on the screen for about 15 minutes, non of the buttons responded, so i did the first thing that came in my mind - i pulled out the battery. After inserting the battery the phone went full brick, i mean literally, no reaction on anything, even conected to the wall charger, there is no sign of life, no charging LED, nothing. Connected to the PC, it says USB device not recognised.
I dont think this is a hardware proble, the phone workwd fine until this interrupted power on. Phone runned on stock Androud, i have not played aroun with it - no bootloader unlock, no rooting.
I searched the internet for a solution, tried a lot of button combinations like in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1069032
but still no luck, i cannot restore or flash it while my PC does not recognise the phone.
Found some info about those Usb Jig things, but they work only on Samsung phones, so, is there a way to force the phone to go in recovery mode, or give any sign of life so i can try to recover it or flash a diferent ROM?
The warranty has ended, so no hope there.
Hope there is a way out of this, and, sory for my bad english. :good:

If you can't get your phone to bootloader, recovery or os then your phone is bricked. You could hope its as simple as a bad battery but chances are you would need JTAG to get it running again and at that point you are best of just getting a new phone.

Friend's "Dead" Phone Problem

Hey everyone,
My friend came across an unfortunate problem with his HTC One. This is what happened according to him:
For the past few months the battery life was getting worse and became terrible, but it's been otherwise fine in terms of performance.
He was at work playing some music via aux
The song stopped playing unexpectedly
Figured that it was a problem with YouTube was like wtf, so he closed YouTube and tried reloading.
It wouldn't show anything and nothing worked, left it that way as to not mess it up more.
Then it completely froze and he shut it off
Not it wont turn back on at all.
He said he left it plugged in charging for a while, still nothing. Tried overnight, still nothing.
Says he really wants to get at least his pictures out of his phone.
So, what are some troubleshooting steps he can take, or what can he do?

try to boot the phone while shinning a bright light to the light sensor. (this is protection to avoid booting the phone when its in your pocket)
Press and hold Power and Volume down for at least 30 sec
Connect the phone to a Windows computer using the original usb cable (or any other cable already known to work for data transfer) to a USB 2.0 port on your computer, then go to Windows devices manger, is the device detected as QHSUSB ? Or Qualcomm something?

Hi thanks for the reply.
He said that when he plugged into his PC, QHUSB_DLOAD shows up in device manager. So now what?

Since the phone went in QHUSB_DLOAD by itself and randomly, this is an hardware failure, the phone will need a new motherboard. It would be fixable only if the phone went in this mode directly after flashing a (incompatible) firmware. Unfortunately there is no way to recover the data from it since the emmc is soldered on that defective board.
Sorry

Wow damn that's real bummer... so there really isn't anything he could do? I remember him telling me that he wanted to salvage pictures from his graduation, but this problem is not letting him

Unfortunately no. Another perfect example why you must backup your important files regularly. Smartphones are unreliable for preserving data, they are not made to last very long (well like everything nowadays ).
I already heard of someone desoldering his emmc chip (not from a M7 btw) and soldering it back to other hardware to extract the data so this is not impossible but your friend would have to find someone really qualified to try this kind of thing and it will probably not be cheap if it can be done..... But no there is no conventional method (using your computer and a usb cable) to extract any data from this phone.

@alray I know it sounds silly, but would it be possibly to save the pics by booting into twrp and copying them to a USB otg?
I'm guessing no
And yeah, it's always a bad idea to keep important files and data on one device.. be it a USB flash drive, an external hdd, a laptop, a smartphone.... etc
there's always the chance of it refusing to work or getting stolen.

how are you supposed to go in twrp if the phone is stuck in qhusb_dload (qhusb_dload = phone not even booting in bootloader = dead).

Doesn't matters what it's saying exactly, it's dead. It's only possible to unbrick a m7 that went in a "Qualcomm something" mode because of a bad firmware flash. If it went in that mode itself, without flashing, your phone is dead.

Samsung Galaxy s3 mini wont start

Hello guys. So i played Pokemon Go on my Galaxy s3 mini with cw11 (4.4.4) and the game just froze so i thought im gonna restart it .. so i restarted it but nothing happend since then im unable to turn on my phone. Tried 3 different batterys nothing. When im charging nothing happens but when i connect to the pc its connecting and disconnecting all the time. Whats the problem how can i fix this Please help me.

have you tried download mode or go to recovery?

Yes, nothing works just black screen. and when im trying to connect it to the pc it just keep disconnecting and connecting.

have you tried it with a boot.img on sdcard? If this will also not work I think your device is hardware broken...

I dont have SD card in my phone never had. But how can i find that file when i cant turn on the phone or connect to the pc? On the other forum they said that i should buy some kind of USB JIG or something and it will work. But in my country its not available so i have to do it myself.

Try charging it for >30 minutes because it's technically impossible for a phone to hard brick itself while booted in android.

i did.. but nothing happens. Tried on other PC installed the driver and everyting but keeps connecting and disconnecting.

Battery DRAIN I think

But mate i tried 3 different batteries and 1 is brand new.

Possible with a malicious root app or carelessness.

I tried as i said 3 different batteries charged every 3 nothing phone doesnt turn on or do something. But when i connect it to pc it connects and reconnects.

Okey i tried the USB JIG nothing happens. Tried on our S2 too and there worked just fine. So i dont know what to do

Most likely your phone's motherboard is already dead

So i cant do anything right?
