bricked HD

So, lets start at the begining.
Today I was testing the new android build from 20nov.
Everything went fine until restarting my phone into windows. The phone did boot properly, exept the screen stayed off.
Touch input did work.
After a couple of restarts everything was back to normal and i picked up the testing from the android build again.
However, a later on the same problem arised. This time more persistent.
Also the led wouldn't go on anymore when charging the phone...
After 30 tries of rebooting a decided to hard-reset the phone by holding Vol down+up and power. Then waiting a while (because i couldn't see what was happening) and then pressed vol up to hard reset.
Then waited like 5 minutes and then tried to boot again by holding the power button.... Nothing
Then waited another 5 minutes, pulled out the battery and tried another boot.
No succes either.
Bottom-line now.
The phone is dead, won't react to anything, no charging no booting.
What can I do???
No stock rom, so i guess no warranty???
Really hope someone can help!!!

Ouch , you're right about the no guarantee rule but i don't know what u could do ..
Best of luck pal.

Maybe anyone got any experience with garanty+ a flashed rom.
Who brought therte phone back with a flashed rom without telling HTC and got their warranty?
Would be great if that worked (a)

Can you do anything with phone? Try taking battery out for 24hrs before re-inserting it and attempting to reboot. If you can still do nothing with device you may have bricked it and only thing which can be done is to return it, though warranty void. Have you tried asking within Android thread to see if anyone else has had similar issues?

Thanks for the battery tip, i'll try that!
about an hour ago i did get a little response from my phone. It vibrated after pushing the on button!
And then nothing....
This only happens when the phone is not connected to usb(charger or pc, no difference).
I did post my problem in the android thread, however no response.
I'll also PM phhusson about my problem. Would be nasty if more people would brick their phone.
Still like to hear some experiences with the garanty-service of HTC if anyone has got any

if it is so "dead" nobody can say if the ROM was original or not. let them think is a hardware problem and replace yr device!!

Well that is probably what i'm gonna do/try if I can't reanimate is myself
Just hope there really is no way of telling by HTC themselves...

Maybe try to see if you can flash a ROM image on it again from the SD card - doing it blind, there are only a few keys to press to reflash, maybe the screen is not working but the device powers up occasionally ?

Try to flash a new cooked rom. Remove battery, then wait 30 secs, then put back battery and push volume down and power button simultaneously. Then you can flash a new rom.
It worked for me.
(sorry for my "english")

intresting
so, tried to flash via RUU.exe+connecting to my pc.
What I did:
-Vol down+power button
-connect phone to my pc via usb.
-run RUU.exe with a dutty rom
-then RUU says it couldn't find my phone.
However, my pc (windows 7) does!
But not how it is supossed to do it.
Check out the screen to see what i mean.
Maybe something more can be doen now? Anyone knows what is going on here?

Maybe you just need to change drivers??? Becouse sometimes Vista change it by itself, so I think 7 can work in the same way?!
Try it, as far as can see from your screen there are no drivers installed
""Manufacturer: Unknown
Device Status: The driver for this device are not installed.""

Go to - Windows Mobile Device Center, then select - Mobile Device Settings, Connection Settings, then uncheck - Allow USB Connections.
Normally this would be ticked to allow syncs etc but to flash a rom it needs to be unchecked.
I cant tell from your post if you have done this or not.
Hope it helps.

I dont have W7 but would imagine it will be similar.

I don't really think it's compulsory to uncheck this. I have it checked and flash my roms without any problems.
But Blackstone is not a friend of Seven at first. You have to tell him to recognise the other.
I have installed the windows-mobile device center from microsoft website and then Windows 7 recognized my HD otherwise I got the same problem as you (no driver).
Hope it can help !

You may be right but mine will not work with the check mark still on.

It does look like a driver issue. Follow this thread to get the necessary usb drivers.

Do you have the Hspl? If yes can't you try flashing from the sd card? (The connection issue you showed is when you are in active sync mode, isn't it?)

Have you tried to flash an original ROM? It should work regardless of your USB connection settings and if you manage to do that and still no life in your hd - you can return it with warranty. And one more suggestion - find a XP machine to do this. Btw - flashing through the SD card is a very, VERY good idea.

succesfull flash, no result.
First of all, a huge thanks to you guys!
The idea's and help u came up with really made my day.
Second, I got to flash my phone. With the right drivers installed everything worked like it supposed to work.
However, the same problems still persist....
So I think this problem is deeper then rom orientated (ideas?)
Anyhow, now I'm able to flash a original rom to my phone, which should help my warranty!
Great job guys, kudos to you

I already tried flashing through the SD card. Normally this is the way to go for me, but it didn't seem to do any good this time (not sure if I performed it correctly, since my screen is "dead")

I'm a bit confused... you managed to flash rom? So your sync works? (on the other side you say your screen is dead?)

Stuck in download mode

Hey guys my friend rooted his virgin mobile optimus elite ( I think its the same as the black) and when he flashed cwm from rom manager and tried to reboot into recovery it went into download mode and got stuck. the computer won't recognize the phone even with the proper lg drivers so we can't push any thing also can't get into recovery with button combo. Any suggestions?

Optimus Black is not like the elite at all (The only thing they have in common is that they look similar - in pictures in real life you can see the elite being smaller)
When I searched for Optimus Elite I got this :

Sounds like your friend got a shot bootloader. Theres nothing that can be done for a LG phone that relies on their update mode with shot bootloader.
Return it to the shops for repair and say you tried to update you phone and your computer lost power during the update and hope they believe you (throw in a few tears about how your life is ruined and you'll never buy a LG product again and you should have nothing to worry about - they'll fix it for you). A failed official update is the only thing that can kill your bootloader that doesn't kill your warranty.
I said all this amusing that the optimus elite uses lg's software update bootloader.
Did you try fastboot yet?

Good day all, I'm the one that OP referenced. Somehow in the process of rooting this guys phone I incorrectly took the Elite and the Black to be the same model. Of course upon looking them up they are obviously different... problem remains that I now have a phone in download mode, windows sees it and loads drivers but no talky. LG mobile support tool attempts to update it but it craps out around 20% heimdall and odin don't negotiate with it. As suggested above it likely is a paper weight and is bound for RTV but as it isn't my phone I'd like to exhaust all efforts before I tell the owner that I bricked his toy.
Fastboot returns: <waiting for device>

If fastboot says waiting for device then it's a no go for fastboot. Still not sure why Lg removed it. Its just so convenient.
I can't say I'm suprised to hear Samsung Software doesn't work with a Lg Phone
When you say SFT. What firmware are you trying to flash? What model.dll are you using? All downloads for that I know of got model.dll of Optimus Black included. What method did you use to root in the first place?

rooted with poot, everything seemed fine till reboot at which point I get this lovely download mode screen and nothing else.
I was trying to flash using the official LG tool which auto downloads the firmware I'm not sure which version it is grabbing but no doubt the latest.
as for odin/heimdall, I know, I know...samsung, but I was hoping for some sign of life/port negotiation at least.
and yeah, why they'd do away with fastboot is beyond me, it's fantastic.
so to recap, no ADB(seemingly. nothing in DevMan) no fastboot, no official LG mobile support tool.
I'm about to follow: "forums androidcentral com/optimus-elite-rooting-roms-hacks/214686-unbricking-your-vm-sprint-elite-phone-using-official-tools-dll-bin-files.html" :silly:
UPDATE: I've got it working again, the method described in the above link(despite the authors poor english and wretched instructions) ultimately worked. Took several tries but eventually I was able to get it back to stock.

Thats good to hear. If you use the proper model.dll with SFT and bin files for Optimus Elite then it should work aswel. SFT is after all just a compact version of LGFlashTool.

That's a hard brick, and there's nothing you can do there, only if you had a setool box you could recover it. I bricked my T by messing up with the bootloader, after a lot of research I sent my T to Sony saying that I didn't know what happened, it wasn't booting. A month and some weeks after i received a free new T.
Maybe you will continue reasearching, but I don't think you are gonna find anything, my best advice is to send it to Sony as faster as possible, so you will have it quicker. Also don't mention unlocked bootloader or anything, play it crazy.

but i do not have a warrenty i got it without warrenty

Then you are screwed... Might as well put it in the bin

Well, then restore it? Alternatively, you can try to flash a stock firmware through flashtool. That should reset the partition table.

That's why is called a hard brick. Soft bricks are easy. If you mess with the partition table you are asking for trouble if you don't know what you are doing.

Can you get into flash mode? Green led? Then it is not hard bricked. (If you did not ever touched mmcblk0p1.) Remove all drivers, install them again, try different version of flashtool, etc.

If you can't get into flash mode (green led, while connecting and holding volume down), then your battery is dead and you must charge it elsewhere (or buy new battery) or it's really bricked.

i unstalled the driver and reinstalling them but QHSUSB_DLOAD searching for driver then it changed the name to ZEUS Flah driver

setools is hardware and software combo for sony phones, you must buy data card to use setools if not card mean you cannot use setools to flash any thing first your phone must at least can boot into flash mode, fastboot mode or cwm, if all of those cannot, then you can bin your phone:crying::crying:

Not true, even if you don't have proof of purchase Sony will still repair your phone under the 2 year warranty, they use the manufacturer code on the phone displayed as 11w22 11 being the year and w22 being week 22 of that year.
I have sent in two phones which I bought of ebay and they have repaired them under warranty with no questions asked. So to the OP if you just do what was suggested, to send in the phone in and act dumb that you dont know what happened it could work

If you really don't know your Google password, then you have to factory reset it.
Just hold the Volume Up + Power until it vibrates, then use the volume buttons to select the factory reset option.

Repairing using pccompanion wipes data anyway, its the same as flashing a firmware
You do not need an unlocked bootloader or root for either.

Don't click the BLU button,. you don't need to, just click on the "flash" button and load your FTF you have downloaded and flash it following the instructions in the FTF mega collection thread

Hello Hackke here i show you another Advice is Use Sony Official Update Tool
SUS~Sony Update Service
Use that tool update your Z1 (current new firmware is .681 )~4.4.2 kitkat ~Bootloader unlock is available
~rooting device is available
Hope u fully unlock your Z1
If it working pls click Thank button

You do not need an unlocked bootloader or root for either.

This will not get you past the screen lock, this just turns your phone off by powering it down, its the same as pressing the volume up and power button until you get 3 vibrations

Its working on my xperia SP

Thanks guys for all the respons.
First i have to say that you can't accesses the PC Companion at all when the screen lock is on because you cant accesses the phone's memory at all then i also comes a window on PC companion telling me to unlock the phone because it can't connect to it.
So thats not working.
I've tried pushing all the buttons combination's on the phone to get into recovery mode or hard reset mode, but that docent work either.
I'm not really super bright on this cind of stuff so now i found a swedish page that do these kind of stuffs and send it to them.
When i get my phone back and if it works i'm gonna write all the info how they made it work again.
Again thanks for the effort to trying to solve this and please if you have any more solutions keep posting them.

Mate connect the phone to flashtool and see does it say that u have usb debugging on...make sure u have the drivers installed...btw u don't need to turn the phone off or anything just connect and see...if it says it's on then just flash it with flashtool and that's it

Htc one flashing red light then goes solid red

Hi guys I'm new to this site and I'm very new to android I was giving a htc one M7 that my friend said he could get to work he said it was work then one day it turned off and would charge it brings up the charge logo when you put it in but the you get a battery with a RED ! In there and it just flashes I left it for a good while and I actually came up with 2% after leaving for ages in read a lot about it been a calibration problem but i tried to hold down the power button and the up and down volume button but all I get is the fast boot menu can someone please help me as I'm sure it can be a problem that can be fixed as I no it's doing something ps this is a UK model on 02 can someone help out Id be great fully appreciated sorry of Iv posted this in the wrong post it's my first post and you guys look like you know what your talking about
Thank you
Danny

Is....is that ONE sentence? I know you're new here, but if you want people to be able to accurately help you, you need to punctuate so we know what you're saying.
ANYWAY, If you can access the bootloader all is not lost. Have you got adb installed on a pc (windows 7 preferably)? If you do, plug your phone into the computer while in fastboot post the results of the command "fastboot getvar all" and edit out your serial number and imei. From there we might be able to find and run the correct ruu for your device. That might help recover the phone to a working state.

Hey there thank you for the reply . I am sorry about my bad grammar I actually don't have a windows computer Iv got a iMac is there anyway I can do this on my iMac . I really do appreciate your help thank you

Yes, you can run the commands on a Mac. This post FAQ #3 will explain the syntax. You will need if you don't have them already is the ADB and Fastboot programs. I'm not familiar with the Mac so I don't know how it works on the Mac. The download site will have instructions.

Thank you I'll get that up and running. I also mite be able to get my hands on a windows laptop may work tonight but I'll post a reply with the results of the search thank you again

Hey guys Iv tried on two different computers now but I don't no if it's because the phone is in fast boot but it will not install the drivers for the phone correctly
Do any of you guys know where I could directly install the drivers for the phone from Iv tried downloading htc sync but that didn't work

Follow this procedure to correctly installed HTC drivers on your PC:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
If not, follow this guide (thanks to nkk71):
originally from @nkk71: [GUIDE] [02-MAR-2014] nkk71's SuperGUIDE to returning 100% back to stock
follow the below instructions to fix
Open "Device Manager" -> select the unknown "One" -> right-click -> "Update Driver Software ..." -> "Browse my computer" -> "Let me pick" -> "Android USB Devices" -> select "My HTC ..." -> install that
just in case, HTC Drivers can be found here: [Drivers] HTC Drivers for Windows - Several Versions (credits to @mdmower)
though you should already have them since you have been using your phone anyways
for those who like a visual guide:
okay so I did a fastboot boot command, and as you can see it didnt install correct driver
Open "Device Manager"
there's the culprit
right click and Update Driver Software
select Browse my computer for driver software
select Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer
select Android USB Devices
select My HTC ... (if you have more than one version, choose the latest)
warning, select Yes
successful installation
now it looks better
and can confirm:
Code:
C:\ADB3>[B]adb devices[/B]
List of devices attached
HTxxxxxxxxxx recovery

It still comes up at unknown device when I connect regardless maybe I should try install it on another computer but I'll install android SDK and htc sync first or is that not the right way to go

Hey guys I'm not sure if Iv made some progress i read somewhere that someone left there's on charge for 4 days and that then calibrated the battery.
When I normally put it on charge the red light flashes at a normal pace and a normal brightness then when the battery logo comes up with the red ! It flashes faster but dimmer.
This morning I thought I'd try a different plug in the wall as mine isn't a htc plug it was a Samsung s3 charger. someone said to try charger it fast with my iPad charger so I used my plug in the wall and my lead left it for two hours and it actually looks like it is charger better the red light is flashing but it's flashing at a normal pace and normal brightness but I don't want to try turn it on incase it starts all over again.
What should I do guys should I just leave it will it try turn itself on or will it just charge

Typically the led will turn solid when charging and the phone will show a battery icon on the screen. Leave it to charge for a while longer see what happens. If nothing changes, turn it on again and try the steps we suggested in this thread.

Still nothing but a blinking light Iv orderd another battery to see if that makes i change altho been told this is a new battery because now it won't charge I can't even get back into HBOOT menu because it's that flat

Is your computer detecting your phone now? it's best not to have HTC sync installed at all as it will interfere with fastboot but shouldn't effect the drivers. You can uninstall HTC sync and leave the drivers installed.
If all else fails use Linux if Linux doesn't detect your phone nothing will. You can boot it from a live usb pendrive from a Mac or PC without altering the main os installed on the computer in any way.
