Hard bricked stock HTC One M7 - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, new to this forum so apologies in advance if I write something really noobish here.
So my old device HTC One M7 decided to kill itself for no reason, it's completely stock, I haven't tampered with it at all.
I had it on power saver mode because I had been on an interrail trip through Europe and then just one morning it died without warning, the night before I plugged it in to charge and when dawn breaks, it's dead.
I first thought it was the black screen of death that some Android might suffer from but I tried the steps of shining a bright light at the top left corner of the screen but nada, and then I plugged it into my laptop which saw it as "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008" and I tried some steps from the guide that dexter93 posted and well it didn't work, I also tried to use a RUU but it always returned with that there wasn't any device connected to the USB port, however something happened because now it's not shown as the "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008" but as the "QHSUSB-DLOAD".
I don't know what it means but I hope that my device hasn't passed the Gates of Valhalla.
If you need more specific information please do tell me /BTV

3 years in this forum, saw hundreds of QHSUSB_DLOAD threads/posts.
Either caused by
flashing an incompatible firmware:
Flashed incompatible firmware, then rebooted the phone and went directly in QHSUSB_DLOAD mode.
Hardware problem:
Phone randomly shut-off and went in QHSUSB_DLOAD mode.
Most of the time, when its caused by #1, you can fix it using dexter93's Unbrick Project. If its #2 you'll have to send it for repair.
Yo can however try the Unbrick Project, just to be sure (maybe your firmware got corrupt for whatever reason and the hardware is still good)

But that's the thing, it did randomly shut itself down but it entered Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 mode instead of QHSUSB_DLOAD mode.
I myself managed to get it into QHSUSB_DLOAD mode.

If dexter93's guide didn't helped then there's nothing more you can do. You're not the first one and not the last one to have this problem and unless it was caused by a bad firmware.zip flash (it wasn't) no one ever found a solution to revive their phone.

And if I manage to open the phone, you wouldn't know where the internal storage is?

The internal storage is a tiny Samsung chip soldered on the motherboard.

Right and that translates to that everything is burnt to a crisp?
So there is no way to retrieve anything from the internal storage?

Hard Bricked Galaxy Tab!

I rooted my Tab with Clock Mod and I'm still on contract I installed the wrong ROM (Stupid Mistake) I clicked reboot now nothing happens?
I do get a driver connection when I press the power button for 10 seconds on The PC (not my pc A friends) The tab is my only device to the Internet besides I'm writing this from his PC.Of course the screens blank.
Please Help, I'm on contract with a carrier paying for A not working device I'm hoping to get it working and restoring but to A stock/un rooted versrion.
Yes i was rooted and had Clock Mod when trying to install A ROM being dumb. As I said You can ear the driver sound in the computer when pressing the power for 10 secounds but no screen, I hope there is a way to reverse this and get back to my orginal boot loader.
Thanks :.(
If i can save i be staying on stock software.
Does Odin recognize the device
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda app-developers app
I am with spudster
Odin Does not recognize the device, but when i plug it into my desktop i can her the input sound, but i look in device manager and the device will not pop up, but although when i hold the power button for 10 seconds it will start making the driver sound, it makes the driver sound like i am pulling the usb cable in than out, the driver sound stops as soon as i release the power button. i we have tried to put the device in download mode, blind folded. I have looked up on youtube and all i found was Jtag.Look This Up On Youtube ( Samsung Galaxy TAB 8.9 (LTE) - JTAG Brick Repair Servic) .But i couldnt do this bbecause the tablet is also owned by a carrier.. Please Help, Thank you
If Odin doesn't recognize the device you're in trouble. I would try to flash the stock rom with odin but I don't think it will work. But maybe you get lucky. If it's still under warranty you could try that. Just play dumb and say it stopped working and you don't know why. Otherwise jtag is your only other option.
God promised men that he'd put beautiful women in all corners of the world. Then he laughed and laughed and made the world round
OK,The computer detects it but odin won,t I will try to get A JTag service
if theres nothing else that can fix it :.(
Try to flash using ADB !

If irs detected by the pc ADB should work! Worth a try mate

None of these works, except for the jtag, which i havnt done yet... i need to buy a jtag and figure out how to use it??

No. Google mobiletechvideos. It's a service you send your device to and they jtag it.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I957 using xda app-developers app
.
The computer is only detecting it
Have you installed the device drivers on the PC? Odin wont recognise the tab without them.
If you can get into download mode, install drivers (or Kies) on PC and then odin should see the tab when connected.
Re
Yep, i have downloaded all the drivers for my device....
well i have let my battery go FLAT and now i am getting this device driver Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COM6) So i try odin again because thinking that the COM6 at the end would be recognized and it still doesnt turn on, i have looked for jTagers around my state there is hardly any and the only one is over seas.... Is there any other ways to do it with a program
..
Only thing it is doing though reconizing An driver when we plug it in the computer.
If there is A way to reverse the firmware changes back to stock This would be A relief.
We could take it to a tech or back to samsung to repair with orginal firmware but that may not be in A few months since I will need to save the money.
The tab was fine untill I mistakly flashed the wrong Firmware (stupid me)
Thanks for the help so far.

Ok, Guess im screwed till May or when ever I can get money to send it back to samsung
And how can warranty apply? its on a contract and Ive already opened it to get to the battery (plus theres a few cracks that I will be replacing)
Thats why I was iffy about rooting in the first place should of stayed with stock..
Thanks Anyway, I will update yous when I get the money for the reparis.

Recover from the dread QHSUSB DLOAD

Lately my HTC One shut off while typing on it and it was dead.
Holding power for 10 seconds (and any of the combination with the volume buttons) did not help.
And when you connect it to the power does not even had the red led indicating that is charging.
If you connect it to a PC you get prompted to install the QHSUSB_DLOAD drivers.
So the phone is dead but not really completely dead.
Clearly that QHSUSB_DLOAD is a Qualcom hook that could be use to debug and probably re-flash the phone. The question is what is this tool and how do you use it?
I think there is some sort of standard way to recover across phone (maybe not all with a Qualcomm but I am sure that the protocol is the same among a few processors).
There are a few examples out there:
[UNBRICK] HTC Unbricking Project - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1627886
DLOADTool - https://github.com/posixninja/DLOADTool
http://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/ultimate-cure-to-the-qhsusb_dload-of-mi2-s.20567/
And a lot of info about HTC internal here: http://tjworld.net/wiki/Android/HTC/Vision
So I wonder if anybody here has some idea about the tools and how to use to resurrect HTC phones and in particular the HTC One (M7).

Try and let it charge for an hour or so. Use a wall charger, not USB. If you still get the same thing, it's more than likely bricked. Unfortunate, but true.

Isn't accessing the phone through QHSUSB DLOAD a developer topic?
The phone has been plug in for a few days. I also fund somewhere that the phone in QHSUSB DLOAD does not charge. I pretty sure in QHSUSB DLOAD the USB voltage just power the circuit necessary for the QHSUSB DLOAD communication.
Thread closed as duplicate/triplicate/quadruplicate of QHSUSB_DLOAD - What is the protocol?. Please continue the discussion there.

HTC one hard bricked,nothing is working help plz

my htc one unlocked is hard bricked while i was surfing in phone, suddenly it power offed without warning and never boot again yet, i tried all combinations like power and vol-+, bright light censor, nothing worked.
windows 8 device manager recognize device as "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008(com3)"
my phone is in warranty and is unlocked bootloader and rooted with venom rom
will htc know that its rooted or bootloader unlocked, if i give for service????? coz its not booting.
will htc change motherboard in warranty for free????
Mmm it depends. You could be lucky. They may just swap over the entire phone. But if they manage to fix that phone and see it's unlocked warranty is void. You will never know until you try!

Nah, warranty void point blank period. You get nothing at all? Even if you try to power on plugged in to a USB 2.0, have had this work in past don't know why. If you can't get it to do anything at all you are looking at buying a new phone, or insurance claim it.

the above is an excellent work to revive the hard brick M7. But in case your M7 shows detected as modem ( its unrecoverable), i had to sell mt bricked phone as it was detected as an QC modem driver. Else the revive.sh should work ok .
Also one more thing. I guess HTC service center don't do a jtag to revive bricked devices in the india service centres. At most they try revive with their flash tools, most likely ( again most likely) they should treat it as a bad motherboard case. And you might get the motherboard replaced without the whole bootloader unlock thing. . Give it a try. If they ain't able to boot it they wont find you had tampered with your device.
I don't know why htc devices just die on the QC S 600 boards just like that. S4 with same hardware doesn't. Their version of S-boot (samsung's boot loader) seems more robust, at least doesn't leave you with unbootable state. . Mine died on a stock build with no tempering whatsoever just the way you told.
Now again it went to the boot loop just like that !!!

[Q] HTC One GPE - RUU Install - Phone Shut Down

Hello,
Yesterday @alray was helping me reboot my phone since I was stuck on the Bootloader and it kept rebooting to "no
command" I ended up installing the RUU via the adb htc_fastboot, and it worked!
Here is the link to that thread: http://http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one/help/htc-one-m7-gpe-command-t3151389/page3#post61741252
So when I started my phone and I started to register my account again since everything was wiped clean, everything was fine then all of a sudden the phone froze and then it completely turned off. I do not know why. I was in the settings page when it froze. Now it will not turn on anymore. I have no idea why it's doing this. When I plug in the charger, no green light indicator comes on. It all seemed fine. Your help would be greatly appreciated!

No it wasn't completely fine yesterday, don't you remember why you had to flash a ruu? Your phone, for an unknown reason, randomly shut down and was only able to boot in recovery mode. Maybe the emmc chip was starting to act weird and some data got corrupted, flashing the ruu fixed that until the emmc died completely today, that is one possibility.

If you want you can try the unbrick project but like explained in that guide, it will only work if the phone went in this mode directly after flashing an incompatible firmware which is not possible on your phone since it's S-ON. Anyway it worth a try before sending it for repair / garbage but don't expect this to work....

Do you even know what is qualcomm download mode? It mean that the phone can't boot because of hardware damage (probably the emmc) or corrupted bootloader. To possibly fix a corrupted bootlaoder on a M7 you'll need to send your phone to a JTAG service, if its an hardware failure you'll need a new motherboard. You are not the first one in this situation, hundred of M7 died this way here and same for other devices using qualcomm's chipset. Unfortunately, I never heard of someone being able to push a new bootloader using QPST like its possible on some other qualcomm devices to fix a possibly corrupted bootloader.

Possibly wiped out HTC Desire 510?

Hi, I received from a friend this phone as it seemed dead to him, But each time i plug it into my computer. It opens up a COM port labelled Qualcomm Loader (Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COM14)), Nothing seems wrong with the port neither the phone, I can't confirm any activity on it as the screen seems damaged completely (it is cracked too). Any idea if it can be recovered from the state it is in right now?
I got my hands on some Qualcomm flashing tool but i can't seem to find a firmware file compatible with the tool. All i get is .ZIP or .EXE versions of the official RUU files from HTC, Which i can't seem to use them as i can't really see what's happening on the phone. I will try to get a screen replacement for it if it helps.
