Hello everyone!
I was recently given a very unresponsive Huawei Ascend P7 (model L10). I get very little response out of it, but due to the powerled reacting, I think it's a hard-brick and not a broken phone.
When I use power+volume up, the led blinks 15 times: red, red, red, red, green (x3)
When I use power+volume down, the led immediately (doesn't require long holding) blinks: red, red, red (pause) x3
When I hold the power button (powercycle), I get the same pattern as power+vol up: red, red, red, red, green (x3)
Connecting the phone to my PC doesn't do anything. It has ADB drivers installed but no software to discover broken phones (not sure which program to use). HiSuite doesn't find the phone, no matter what.
Can anyone point me in the direction of usable software/a solution?
Edit: I have (of course) sought around, but have no solution yet.
Thanks so much, in advance,
L
I had the same problem last week.
Is your bootloader locked?

So my HTC ran out of battery last night, and I left it overnight to charge (red light was showing up).
So I turn it on this morning, and nothing happens. I unplug it from charger and red light is still on, and when I held down powerbutton the home and back buttons would blink, but phone would not come on.
So I read online and tried the home+vol button trick under a bright light and the red light did go away, but nothing else happened.
Now when I press power button nothing happens, not even the home/back button come up.
When I plug it in to the computer I see a driver for QHUSB_DLOAD failing to load. And if I hold down power button and volume while connected to PC, I can hear it "unplugging and replugging" noise from pc.
So is my phone bricked? This was NOT rooted, it was simply the stock device.
I really just want the pictures I have on there, is there any way to get that data back?
QHUSB_DLOAD is related to the boot partition of your phone and is an extremely tricky driver to find. If, for whatever reason, that driver is buggered, your phone may be bricked. As you haven't rooted there really isn't much you can do past try a USB jig or shine a light at the light sensor (two black circles on the front) whilst you try and turn it on. On the bright side though, you should be able to get a relatively easy replacement.

Where can I get a USB jig for a tmobile htc one?
This is a HARD Bricked phone that first started going berserk after a partial install of a SONY software update. The phone would flash the home screen and continually vibrate. I forced it down with power off. Did not know what I was doing and believe I converted a soft brick to a hard brick. The soft brick at first responded to power button and volume up button to reboot. After that point it became more and more unresponsive to complete death.
It is not recognized by PC (even in the device manager) when plugged into USB port on PC. NO LED or any lights on the phone at all! No red charging LED with charger plugged in, No Sony screen icon, no vibration with power button pushed hard for >10 seconds (with and without pushing up/down volume). The ONLY response I get is an audible windows sound coming from my PC as long as I hold the power and volume up button down.
I have left the phone off a charger for >48 hours and then placed it on the charger for 6-7 hours. Still no red LED while on the phone was on the charger. Reason for me doing this was my reading notes that Sony had a battery error issue that could only be solved by removing the battery or draining it completely. Recharging the battery was suppose to be a fix. A recent poster did this (removed the battery) which is a job and was able to get a red LED but nothing else. There was no reply.
My readings also indicated that there are a number of people with this problem (hard bricked phone) involved with download or install of their software Sony reportedly has a fix to install to correct it. I am a day late and a dollar short.
BTW, the Sony PC companion works up until I connect the phone to the PC and then an error message appears to make sure battery is charged to 80% before proceeding. Ignoring that brings up a troubleshooting screen prompting holding the power button and volume up button for 10 seconds. This is where I get an audible windows connect/disconnect sound coming from my PC that will keep sounding as long ass I hold the buttons down and stops after I remove them. Could this possibly be just a battery issue? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Firstly, you've made one major mistake when you've turned off your phone by using force. It can completely brick your phone forever.
Secondly, if you can hear any sound when connect your phone to USB, then thats mean, that your phone is still in minimal functionality. However, you can give a try to buy a new battery and see, how it goes.
It's better to buy extra battery, than change the whole phone, am I right?
And try to leave your phone without touching it for couple days I think. Maybe your battery somehow has got any fault or it has been faulted when you've force-shutted the phone.
Just give a try and that's all. You can't do anything else, except if you know and you're ready for phone disassembly. If none of my suggested methods will work, then try some other tutorials, you can search for them in XZ category's. I've forgotten how that thread is named, but you can search by some key-words, like : ultimate recovery, back to life, unbrick and etc.,
I hope my information is all correct and helpful, if not, then sorry for disturbation for nothing

My gut tells me that the battery is OK but needs to be recharged. Apparently there is something that will not allow the battery to recharge unless it is removed or drained to zero. I thought I drained it to zero but perhaps not. The other case where the battery was removed and was then able to show a red LED apparently allowed the battery to recycle. That's as far as he got.
In the mean time I'm taking your advise and just letting the phone sit until someone makes a suggestion or I get tired of looking at it.
Thank you for your time and suggestions.
Can you enter the "fastboot" mode (unlocked bootloader) /"flash mode" (locked bootloader) ?
Hold "volume down" button and connect with USB cable to the pc.
So first hold "volume down" button and then connect with USB cable to the pc while holding the "volume down" button. Let go the "volume down" when a green led on your phone appears.
You can still enter the "flash mode" if the green led appears.
Hold "volume up" button and connect with USB cable to the pc.
So first hold "volume up" button and then connect with USB cable to the pc while holding the "volume up" button. Let go the "volume up" when a blue led on your phone appears.
If the blue led appears on your phone you can still enter the "fastboot mode".
There is still hope if the green/blue leds appear on your phone (meaning you can still enter "flash mode" / "fastboot mode".
. But the following question need to be answered:
Has your phone an unlocked bootloader?

It is HARD Bricked. Unresponsive to all of the above w/o any LED response.
Has your phone an unlocked bootloader?
The phone was purchased from Sony and was factory unlocked. It was running fine until the new update from Sony was installed. I believe the update was related to the OS which is 4.4.4.
Thank you.

Is it completely dry and if it is then do you see sony logo or blue led notification?if sony logo shows up try flashing stock ftf via flash tool
And if blue notification then try to unblock volume up button i thing it is stuck so it puts your phone to fastboot mode when connected to pc hence blue led and when you try to turn on your phone without connecting to pc it hard reset your phone hence three vibration and phone shuts down...
Try unblocking volume up button by pressing hard volume up button many times then connecting to pc until there is no blue light turning on...and after unblocking the button try flashing stock ftf via flash tool...
Be careful not to press it too hard or you will damage your phone..!!
Get phone working again and get it replaced if under warranty to avoid future problems...

Hello all,
I'm not literate in tackling troubleshoot issues with my phone, however, after a couple of months now trying to resolve my phone issue I turn to you for help. My XT890 (Razr-i):
is stuck on the Red M logo
A green light flashes when I plug it in to either the main charger or the USB port on my laptop; the M logo displays and the green light turns off
I've tried all the power button plus volume combinations - the phone turns off, vibrates and returns to the default M logo
When connected via USB, the phone is not detected (Not in Device Manager, RSD lite (6.1.4), USBDeview)
I've tried many suggestions in these forums, however, without access to boot menus on the phone via the button combinations or access to the phone via USB, I'm at a loss as to what I can do
I acknowledge I do not provide much technical information. If you can help with any suggestions I'd be delighted to hear from you.
Many thanks.
Been dealing with the same issue once two weeks ago and now again tonight - only difference is that 2 weeks ago I could only get as far as the motorola icon but now make it as far as the intel icon.
Try the buttons again.
Hold down vol down first and keep it pressed until the very end of the procedure, then press and hold the power button till phone reboots.
When you feel the vibration let go of the only the power button.
As soon as the menu appears you can let go of the vol down button.
This has worked for me every time.
No harm to have the phone connected to a charger while doing this as the battery has been draining
When you get into the boot menu leave the phone in that state till the battery is charged enough to reset it
Other threads and people are more knowledgeable about that than me.
Pretty sure my phone or some part of it is starting to fail at this stage - about 2.5 years old now, as It got a factory reset 2 weeks ago

Guys, please note that the RSA works ONLY on win7 or lower.
I've tried a couple times on win8 and win8.1 and it had the same problem as you (no USB recongnition of the device) . I had to learn by myself that it works flawlessly on win7.
This is the thread that i solved my problem when using 4.1.2 (now im having the same problem with KitKat, it got stuck on the Intel logo).

My English is not good, so I used Google Translate. I have a xperia10iv engineering prototype. I switched its firmware slot to b by mistake. Now it cannot start normally. The specific performance is that the screen cannot be turned on. When it is connected to the computer, the red light is on, which can be recognized. to the device on port 9008. Is there any way to salvage it?I can't get to green light or blue light mode now (long press volume up/minus to connect usb)

I haven't found a way to get into Blu-ray mode yet, but it seems to restart properly, and if I connect to the computer by holding down the volume and power buttons for a while it will disconnect and reconnect after a while
