[Q] <Help Needed> USB port broken and now phone is bricked!!

Hi,
I had Nik 4.5 Custom ROM on my phone and recently I my USB port stopped functioning. To revert to S-on and claim warranty, I tried to revert to stock ROM and flashed Froyo ROM (as that was the only Indian ROM available for download on the forum). I think I made the mistake of downgrading the radio and now my phone is bricked. Any suggestions to make it work again? If I take it to HTC service centre will my they be able to detect any s-off mischief that I committed and can they fix the phone and the USB port?
Thanks in advance.

I followed the following steps:
1. I downloaded the ROM
2. Renamed it as PG32IMG.zip and placed it in the Root of the SD Card
3. Switched off the phone and took out SD card and then put it back again
4. Rebooted the phone in fastboot and updated the zip file. The update was completed successfully.
5. Followed the on screen instruction and rebooted the phone.
As this point the phone was not powering on. I double checked if the battery wasn't charged. I also used my charged spare battery (I use it since, my phone doesnt charge from USB port).
I assume the phone is bricked now... Any help would be appreciated.

Yes, what you flashed was an old Froyo based RUU. If you had been running Gingerbread then you had a Gingerbread radio and that radio cannot be downgraded back to Froyo. By running this RUU you have radio bricked your phone.

try if u can boot into the bootloader by poweron and volume down button even if that is not possible then sorry bro i guess then we cant help u..

Yes I tried that already but it doesnt work. Can it be fixed at HTC service centre?

I don't know any other purpose for the service centre, but yes... they do fix phones.

The service centre fixed my bricked phone free of charge! They replaced the PCB and some other hardware which they did not disclose. Of course I had to escalate the matter to HTC escalation department and they were really
Kind in getting it fixed although it was out of warranty. I love HTC!

[Q] HTC One Wont Turn On

I bought an HTC one on the weekend. I bought the Bell version since it was $50 cheaper than the Rogers one so while I was waiting for my unlock code, I unlocked the bootloader, rooted it and flashed CM10.1.
When I received my unlock code from HTCOnlineUnlock.com, it wouldn't work and they said if I was using a custom ROM, that was likely the problem.
So I downloaded the original Bell M7 rom from the bugsy lawson website, booted into CWM and tried to install it.
It hung on "running bug_fix1" for a long time. So I reset it and now it will not turn on.
I've tried holding the power button, holding down vol+power, but nothing happens. No flashing buttons at the bottom, no LED at the top.
When I plug the phone into my computer via USB, HTC sync manager opens, and the device shows up in windows device manager under Android USB Devices / My HTC, but does not show up as a drive under My Computer.
Any suggestions??

Just a heads up unlock codes usually only work on sense roms...but lemme see your problem again gimme a sec

Thanks for the help! I've been pulling my hair out over here.
No doesnt look like either detect the device. I've attached a picture.

I had the same problem but with the phone charging. I unplug and before I turn it on there was no way to turn until I connect via usb to the pc

Maybe @18th.abn has some insight if the computer can detect the phone.. sorry for calling on you hehe

Have you tried to get into bootloader mode and is the phone visible in device manager?

Yup you are bricked check your device manager. We already have a thread on this.

Yeah device manager shows nothing. Wow ... That's crazy I've been doing this for years, is not like it was a file that I hadn't used before.

long press the power button for about 20 seconds. after about 3-4 seconds, press volume down as well. this should reboot your device into the bootloader. try it.

Was yours unbranded ? Mine arrives tomorrow and I'm wondering if they ate going to send me an unbranded Nexus as mine was AT&T branded and unlocked to work on T-Mobile. I hope I don't have to unlock it again, it was a PAIN to do so.

Bootloop on Z1s (c6916)

My Sony Xperia z1s just decided to bootloop today for no apparent reason. May be an issue with the 5.0 version it runs? It powers on, shows the Sony screen, then the screen goes blank (black screen, backlit) before going completely to black, then back to the Sony screen again. I'm having a hard time getting Command Prompt to read it, and with this sh***y locked bootloader, I feel like my hands are tied. The phone is rooted, and on stock ROM of course. I'm used to my Huawei and flashing ROMs, fixing soft bricking and whatnot, but it's a factory unlocked device, not this Sony-Tmobile locked carrier crap. I'm less familiar with dealing with this sort of thing. I've already tried pressing down the red button next to the SIM, no dice. I've hard reset using Vol+ and power. Pretty much the extent of what I've done, other than swearing at it. I just want this thing working again, I'm so tired of having to deal with it. First its horrid touchscreen, now this. Running PC Companion seems to be suggested in a lot of places, but would that even work correctly for a rooted phone? I'm open for any suggestions on what to try at this point.

Did you flashed any ftf file using flashmode

I have not. Been afraid to touch it, don't want to make things worse until someone who knows more than me says what my first step should be. Not sure if it's even working correctly, the flashmode led flickers on and off quickly before it goes completely off.

U can use Flashtool without being afraid
I use it always without any error
And yea no problems with led flickers
But be sure to install your drivers on pc before flashing

Been attempting to use it, but it doesn't appear to be working (I have a locked bootloader). Keeps saying 'no loader found for this device'. I've gotten all the drivers that I know of that I'd need for this, for my computer as well as the flashtool drivers (flashmode, fastboot, and common drivers for Rhine board). The phone is stock + locked bootloader, I'm really feeling this thing is headed for the garbage. :/

Phone bricked? qhsusb_bulk

Hello, I have been reading about this error and everywhere it says it's hard bricked but the phone can enter download mode it's just not recognized by the PC, is the phone dead or is there a way to fix it? Thanks in advance

Search the forum I've seen this thread recently
And start flashing the right files for your phone

i did search for hours and I couldn't find other answer than phone bricked :/ is there a way to make the pc recognize the phone? I installed the drivers as well

Don't go backwards this time when flashing firmware on your phone. Has to be recent not older than what you had before
Try that

I think we are having miscommunication issues, the phone can enter download mode just fine, it's just that it's not recognized, it appears like qhsusb_bulk

Yes...it is hard bricked from flashing wrong files that why it appears like so
