Hello folks. thank you in advance.
I'm 99.9% sure my phone is done. I checked the forums and found similar issues - but nothing exactly like mine. after five day here is what happened, and my troubleshooting steps.
the issue started five days ago. my phone was plugged into my HTC wall charger, which was plugged into a power bar connected to the wall. I made dinner, ate, and came to get my phone.
the lights under the back and home buttons were lit up, but the screen was not. I pressed the unlock button
nothing happened.
I did it again
nothing.
seeing no other alternative I held down the power button until the lights flashed and the phone should have rebooted - instead, it shut off and never turned back on.
I pressed the power button. tried the volume down + power to access the bootloader for an FDR. but the phone still wouldn't power on.
I figured something was up with the battery. I plugged it in for a few minutes but the charging light never came on - it never even blinked.
so I charged it overnight.
the next day, the same thing.
no power, no charging no blinking.
I tried the wall charger, I tried my PC.
that was when I got a ray of hope - my laptop made the USB-connected jingle when I plugged the phone in. so I let if charge, but there was no light
this was when I turned to the forums.
I tried resetting the charging logic - charge for 10 min, unplug, hold down vol+ vol- and power for five minutes
five minutes and three very sore fingers later nothing happened. I tried the same thing holding the proximity sensor under a bright light (super blackout flashlight).
after this, I resigned myself to plugging the phone in for four days. it has been plugged into the wall charger since Tuesday. no red blink, not green light and still not powering on.
i'll also note that when the phone is plugged into a PC it show up in the device manager under the section "ports (com & LPT)" and is called "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COM4)".
i have also tried to boot the phone manually the ADB but it just says device not connected.
thank you in advane!
From what I know, if a phone is called Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COM4) (or anything with he first three words), then it has a hardbrick or is (sadly) dead... I can't help you, because I don't know how... I never had such a problem [emoji52]
Your phone can go in QHSUSB_DLOAD mode for 2 reasons:
Flashed an incompatible firmware ---> Recoverable
Hardware failure ----> Phone is dead (or will most likely need a new motherboard)
Since it went in this mode itself, then its #2.

Hello,
I have the HTC One (M7) from AT&T. The phone has never been rooted and I have not yet unlocked it bootloader. I have not done any of these modifications to it. I was simply using it when it turned off and then got really hot.
When I try to turn it on, the screen stays black even though it vibrates after 15 secs (like when it turns on). If I connect it to a wall charger the screen turns on with the battery icon and the red light blinking. I have drained the battery and tried the battery calibration trick (holding power and the vol + - buttons while using a bright light) and it has not worked.
When I plug it to my Windows PC it is not recognized except for today when it got recognized while I tried the battery calibration trick but the driver that was installed was something like this: Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008. I read in another thread that a user went through the same thin and some of the comments simply recommended him to take it to a store or that his motherboard was fried.
Is my phone bricked? Since I am not yet sure about this. And if not, is there a way to bring it back?

unfortunately QHSUSB_DLOAD mode means, as you said, a defective motherboard. You'll have to send the phone for repair.
sorry.
I think I bricked my device. I previously had a custom ROM with Android 5.1.1. My phone is unlocked bootloader and rooted.
I was playing YouTube videos last night and fell asleep, but I didn't realize my phone was on the whole time so the battery died on me. I charged the battery for about 2 minutes to try turning the phone on, but it flashed red LED. I got impatient and did this...
1. As it was displaying battery, I unplugged my phone from my battery charger.
2. As it was shutting down (from pulling the charging cable out), I did a hard reset (hold vol up)
3. As it vibrated 3 times, I plugged the charger in.
After I did that, my phone won't boot, no LED, nothing. My battery can't charge it (turns on for about a second and then it stops. I charged it with AC for 30 mins. and no life. Pressed the red button on the SIM but did nothing, tried turning on the phone normally but nope.
Should I open the back?
EDIT: Finally on the computer, the LED turns on but it's red (stays on without pulsing).

but I can't get into flashmode or bootloader. Screen is off. I'm not sure what to do anymore...:crying:

Don't open the back cover just yet yet, it seems that you have a dead battery (fully discharged) so I'd suggest you to connect MicroUSB and magnetic charger together at the same time to force-charge the battery.
If you don't have a magnetic charger, and have a dock then all you have to do is pull it apart and you will find yourself a free magnetic charger in there.
Good luck!

No. Just leave it charged for 30 mins even with no les light, after 30 mins the red light will light up. U drained your battery thats why it wont turn on
Hey guys! My HTC One won't turn on. My phone was on 17% when i connected it to charger.After sometime i checked my phone to make sure it was charging and everything was alright my phone charged to 37% when I last checked. After 2:30 hours i checked my phone and it was showing charging LED but wasn't on.I tried to turn it on but it didn't turn on. Also no when i connect my phone to charger it won't show charging LED. I tried Volume up,down and power button method, and i also tried volume up and power button under a bright light. It just won't turn on. I connected my phone to my PC. Its only show a QHSUSB_BULK HS-USB QDLoader 9008 Driver. Any help would be appreciated.
Note: Its a rooted Sprint HTC one m8.
How long did you hold down the power & volume buttons for? Did you hold all three buttons down at the same time?
Also, what ROM & firmware were you on? Or were you stock rooted? How long have you had the phone, and was it new or used when you bought it?
I had a similar problem a few years ago. My phone screen would turn off on its own. I would then have to restart it Finally I noticed that the Orange charge LED would not show when plugged in to a power source. When plugged in to a source the Orange LED showed for a moment, then turned off. Once dead, I could not charge it to restart. Sent to HTC and they said the motherboard died. Initially charged me 300 dollars, but I told them it was better for me to buy a Nexus at that price. They lowered it to 150 dollars and I got it repaired. Now days, again I am noticing the screen going dark on its own, but it is difficult to enable the screen by clicking the power button. The phone is on, but just dark screen. Currently I am rooted and S-On with Stock ROM.

Connect your phone to 2-2.5 amp WALL charger(original or another OEM original, original chargers are sold only in brand shops), and cheap cables most of the time don't work either.
wait 15-20 minutes and hold power button + vol up + vol down for 30 seconds.
Same thing happened with me but I was in recovery on low battery(while plugged in). You will also lose simlock if you are international user.
Check the screenshot in this thread, if you have the same thing showing on Windows Device Manager then it's most definitely a flat battery.

I had that same driver when i connected the phone.Thanks man you're a phone saver. Thanks alot:highfive:
I've got rooted phone, least update frome about 15/11, MIUI 8, everything worked fine. Today phone stopped, before I thought I had 40-30%, for sure not 0% and phone died. It's not charging with any charger, any wire (3 different wire, 3 different plugs or computers) Computer with in I rooted (so with drivers needed) not conecting also. No LED flashed.. It happened suddenly, with no changes before. I switch the phone and is no answere no led flash. Help. its bricked
My quastion is - Is any secret code to charge my battery?
just started, after 4 hours, so it's no solution
again, phone broke down complytly, no reaction next 3-4 hours (means no sign its working, no led whilst charging, no any sign its on, computer doesnt see a phone. I tried all of combinations of off-keys and +vol -vol like a recovery or fastboot. NOTHING. the phone has been bricked at all for me, than starterd....****in JUST. Charged on the same wire, charger like 10 minutes before, some bull**** at all
Can you check if any device shows up in Device Manager when plugging your phone to the computer? Like qualcomm hs-usb qdloader 9008 or similar.
I'll try and keep this short.
Plugged in my 5a yesterday day like I always do, got the charge sound, opened up instagram and the phone hard froze shortly there after and the screen shut off.
I unplug the device and it won't power up or restart with just the power button. Plug it into the computer and get qdloader 9008 driver loading.
Unplug and wait again.
Finally got a boot with volume plus power buttons, Now I get an android logo being operated on with something like "no command input" or something.
Powered the phone down and this time it came back up like nothing happened, so I blew it off as a fluke. Phone works perfectly the rest of the day.
Shoot to that night, I plug it in the same charger again the same issues repeat.
Only this time the phone does not come back. Screen acts dead, same qdloader driver will load when plugged in.
Searching around it seems I've bricked the device somehow with this cable charger combo I've had for years.
So I'm here to confirm my fears or luck out and find there's a fix maybe.

Thanks for the post. I did contact google and I might be eligible for the special warranty repair. Fingers crossed, it will be a couple week wait.
Was hoping for a fix I could accomplish myself, but as long as Im not out any money this works too.
