I've been reading forums all day long looking for answers but I can't seem to find a solution, so my apologies if someone has a solution in a thread that I missed but I couldn't find anything.
I have Rogers Captivate which I had applied the One Click Lag Fix that worked great. I then decided to flash a custom rom with Odin. In the middle of the flash, my pc lost power (battery ran out, forgot to plug it into the wall) and the bar on my Captivate showing the progress stopped. After I turned the computer back on, I turned off my phone (since it was stuck an I thought it was a good idea) and tried to turn it on with no success.
As far as I can tell, it's COMPLETELY dead.
Here's everything I've tried:
- ALL (and I mean ALL) button combinations
- There's no power bar, absolutely nothing showing
- I've taken sim and battery out and tried connecting to the pc, no luck
- I've tried letting it charge although the screen is dead (meaning black) and the soft keys don't light up so I have no idea if it's charging
- When I plug the phone into my pc, it doesn't even detect it
- Can't get ANYTHING to show up on the screen. I hold power, it doesn't turn on. I hold Vol up and down and nothing.
I don't know if there's anything on the board I can do to reset or something. Is my phone completely toast? If so, I'll have to resort to getting a replacement through the 1 year manufacturer's warranty which sucks, but oh well.
Thank you all for any assistance you can provide. I would hate to go back to my iPhone 4 ((

Did you try pulling battery, then holding Vol+ and Vol- and plugging in USB?
Have you tried a USB jig?
I had to disconnect my phone mid-Odin a few times before. I was able to use a JIG to get back into Download Mode and restore it to a working state. Might wanna try that!

I think this guy's phone really is toast though - no activity, nadda?
The only other thing I can think of - is make sure the USB cable is plugged directly into your computer's motherboard USB Ports.
Then try the above - pull out sime batt etc... plug in the USB with the battery out - then jam the battery back in while holding down the volume buttons.
If this doesn't work or the Jig.. Warranty Time with AT&T (Happy Times )
I would say the jig is worth a shot, I have seen several people say they came back from a black screen with the jig.
If you are just getting a black screen when you try to turn it on then the phone is most likely done. I know it's too late but it is extremely important that when flashing your phone that there is no chance of loosing power to your compuer.
I would still suggest to try the JIG option if you haven't already. Each bricked phone acts differently. My first phone I was able to get into download mode with the JIG but even after flashing it 3 times it still would be stuck on the AT&T logo loop. Likely because of a hardware related issue. I would check with your carrier and see what you options are after trying to use a JIG. Or you can call Samung and they might be able to repair the phone for a couple hundred. Which is still cheaper then paying $400 for a new one.
I had a similar issue where I got a purple screen flashin stock with odin...and then phone acted ''dead'' no response on any end...what I did was take take sim out and battery and did the volume down and power while putting in batter after every attempt with all other button attempts and putting usb in
About ten seconds the time it takes the art screen in my case to flash and after about fifty attempts it went into d.l mode

Mine got stuck in the white ATT logo loop once, and it just took many, many tries to get ODIN to recognize, but it eventually came around, and has been great ever since. If it is really bricked, you have nothing to lose, so you might as well go hardcore.
Same thing happen to me yesterday! And the jigg saved my phone. Thank you jigg

Hi all,
I have purchased a HTC One while in US a month ago from AT&T. I am now in India and the device worked perfectly fine until two weeks ago, it switched off automatically.
I tried a lot of combinations mentioned in the forums and also contacted the customer service (both in US and India) and they requested me to try holding the Power and both Volume buttons at the same time for 2 minutes. I did this for 10 minutes and it won't work.
When I connect the phone to Wall socket charger, the LED won't lit up. When connected to my laptop, the windows O/S makes the connected sound but nothing happens.
I really appreciate any help in this matter. Thanks in advance.
Kind regards,
Krishna Menon.

Press and hold the power+volume down buttons. Once the home and back button lights start flashing, keep the power+volume down buttons pressed and plug it into your pc.. It'll connect and install necessary drivers and your phone lights will stop flashing, and it will eventually boot up in hboot.
It may take a few tries

Nothing happens when I press and hold the power+volume down buttons. I held it for 10 minutes. When I connect the phone to computer, it was detected as qhsusb_dload. When I searched about this issue on net, many posts say the phone is bricked and can't do anything about it.
Anyone help me how to unbrick my phone? Appreciate the help.

Hi nkk71,
I tried this method without any success. When I contacted the HTC global support, the support person did mention this method. I tried holding the power + volume up + volume down buttons continuously for 15 minutes and nothing happened (my fingers hurt afterwards, #on a lighter note)

Unfortunately "qhsusb" is usually a hard brick and needs a motherboard replacement
for one (or two?) people, the phone miraculously came back on for no apparent reason (if memory serves, for one guys it came back when the alarm rang the next morning), but other than that it's usually considered a hard brick, and needs hardware fix.

Thanks nkk71 for this quick response. It's very unfortunate that my phone requires mother board replacement.
I loved the phone a lot. Now, I have to shell around 15K I believe.

No warranty? Sorry mate
you could leave it in the charger for a full day, and see if it comes back to life, and power it completely off while charging, not just the screen off.

I bought this from one of my US friends and now in India and I wasn't able to properly contact him. Lesson Learned for life. Not to purchase without proper documents.
I have put the phone charged for straight four days without removing in the wall socket. Nothing.

So I've been reading around, and came across QPST, and some guys have unbricked a hard brick using this tool. Is it possible to somehow make it work for the One?

Don't know what QPST is but i do remember there was a tool a while back for other phones to fix the Qualcom_HUSB mode, but I don't think it was ever updated for the One.

I'll take a closer look later, but if it was available/working for the HTC One, then i'm sure someone would have mentioned it by now.

I followed the steps mentioned in one of the posts on QPST; but as my phone was not detected, the COM port was stated as Not Available in the QPST configuration s/w. Don't know what else to do.
I thought I would add to this thread an obvious step that sometimes gets forgotten.
I assume you attempted to charge your device in multiple sources: wall outlet, computer, etc.
I suggest you try some more, ideally varying cables and power adapters.
I experienced too many times - and even once with the one - the same exact brick you're describing and most of the times, the only solution was the above: find a combination to charge the device when its battery is completely depleted as in this situation they're more picky as to the source of power

Does your phone vibrate when you press power + vol up? Can you get it into flashmode?
If your pc recognizes the phone as qhsusb_dload or something like qloader it's hard bricked and there's nothing left you can do..

No flashing LED, no vibrating, nothing.
I'm afraid to say this but it seems your phone is hard bricked... Try to do a rubber band across it so that the power button and vol up buttons get pressed all the time and plug it into your wallcharger. If that doesn't help bring it to your local sony service centre and let them repair it although they will very likely charge of a service fee.
Good luck mate!

Thank you, I will try that. It is really weird, the last thing I did was pressing the restart in recovery button.
I bricked my phone while trying to unlock bootloader (didnt wait for the command prompt to complete the process) and later my pc was recognizing it as qhsusb_dload. But my volume buttons were working and I used the Sony update service to restore it.

You should leave it for charging for a while and then check, maybe the battery is dead.

It is very possible, frequent restarts eat away alot of battery, and you never know maybe it was on while you saw a black screen thinking it was off.

Then its probably very hard bricked. You should take it to Sony and let them figure it out.

Did you also try the rubber band method? Putting a rubber band across the phone so that power and vol up buttons are pressed while it is on the charger for several hours?

If you see a flashing blue light, when it is not plugged in, it's because the bootload was entered improperly and is in safe mode. The only way you can fix it, is to do a system wipe via Sony Companion and reinstall stock ROM. It's an Xperias way of bootlooping into a safe mode when it's locked.

Too bad Sony doesn't implement an ADB OTI. Otherwise you could flash ROMs even with factory lock and never brick it.
i am experiencing the same problem right now. hadn't touched the tablet in a couple weeks, i seem to remember turning it off because it was really low on battery and the charger wasn't near. now it is just a black rectangle.. LED never responds, charging doesn't do anything, doesn't show up on ADB or flashtool.
seems like it is some problem with the firmware or hardware since all the android devices i've owned have always charged (with the LED on) regardless of the condition of the software (hell my one x that busted open and the screen doesn't work still charges and hooks up to the computer)
i would love to get this fixed because sony tech support pretty much bent me over today.

Take it in for warranty m8
Might be worth waiting for the battery to completely drain and then try and turn it on after getting some charge in it.
I've had problems recently, after using OTG, the tab's display will just turn off, and when I mean off, it's just the screen, the tab is actually still on, as you can feel the heptic feedback, the only way is to force reset using the power volume and home key.
Another problem, still recently, I had about 12% power, so I just connected the USB to charge the tab, the screen started to flicker and then nothing works, after 10 minutes reconnected the power, and it started to charge up from 0%, it seems like the tab has gone haywire, I had decided to trade it in the next few days for the xperia X performance.
Not even bothered to take it to samsung service center (still under warranty), I can't stand their customer service, my tab has been through a repair before, my home key died and it kept on grabbing the side of the hole and sticking down, they replaced the part, but left something inside causing a lump at the back, problem sorted out, but the buttom kept on grabbing the side of the hole and not coming out if you press it slightly on one side, I even showed them the problem, and they agreed, and they say that a normal person won't press the button like that, and it's normal, I did mention that I have tried a few units and does not have the same problems, they just said it's normal, so I said to them if this is normal what isn't normal, and do they tell all there customers if they have a problem that its normal.
So I am completely sick of there BS, trying to keep away from samsung stuff.

Got rid of it, it should be a problem internally, anyway I've traded it for a Sony Xperia X performance.
Mine also died few days ago. I tried to charge it with different chargers and cables but without any success. POWER +VOL DOWN is not rebooting the tablet.
Now I am planning to open the back cover and will try to disconnect the battery. I believe it will help.

Ok long story
I bricked my device (totally dead, no power no dl mode no led not nothing at all), i know what i did wrong, then after plenty of research I ended up tripping the area in motherboard to bring phone back to life and I was successful. I brought it back to life started over completely with a stock device like new, I rooted and loaded up some roms and all was ok. Then....
Someone I knew needed a new device but did not want it rooted as they knew nothing about root and wanted a stock device, so I TOT all the way back to stock and told them the device would run through all the updates up to Lollipop and it did, BUT the OTA to lollipop bricked the device
Yes with the phone stock and doing regular updates it bricked, they brought it to me and I was able to trip the capacitors again and was able to get into bulk mode and AGAIN was able to bring device back to life, so I sat there and one by one let the updates come in on a COMPLETELY STOCK DEVICE and ONCE AGAIN the freakin OTA bricked the device, so.....
I have not been able to get it back, I went through the same steps to get device back, and I have now done everything possible (I think) and cannot get it back.
I have tripped the IC capacitors and gotten the 9006 and 9008, when I get the 9006 and all the partitions pop up, I use the SRK tool and it works, but then when I go to reboot I used to get the LG logo bootloop and was able to turn off and go into download mode, but now download mode freezes on the little icon and download mode never opens up, so in turn I cant TOT or KDZ back to stock. I have tried the boarddiag, I have even tried the Ubuntu fix and nothing, my symptoms so far:
download mode frozen with the little icon but download mode does not show up, I sometimes get just a vibration on/off that never ends, I have also gotten a red LED & LG logo boot loop. I have literally lost 2 days trying to figure this out. My question is, is there anyone that will do this for me. I will pay to ship and return, Please anyone.

Ok long story
I bricked my device (totally dead, no power no dl mode no led not nothing at all), i know what i did wrong, then after plenty of research I ended up tripping the area in motherboard to bring phone back to life and I was successful. I brought it back to life started over completely with a stock device like new, I rooted and loaded up some roms and all was ok. Then....

Yes I tried that and Ubuntu would never see my device. Upon entering the first command I would not get a return command identifying my device.
Can you do one more thing? Disassemble your battery, reassemble it , plug it in wall charger , charge it for some time and go to download mode, see if its working?

charged up.
This is where I am right now.....If I turn on the device i get LG screen then it turns off and LED flashes red one time, then it loops doing the same thing.
If I hold vol up and plug in it will show download mode about to start but then powers off and red LED and it boot loops again.
I noticed if I power off and hold power button, then it will vibrate on and off while im holding power button, weird.
If I open up device to trip ic in motherboard, the device does the weird vibration while plugged in as i am attempting to trip mb.
I can trip it though and get 9006 or 9008 with all the partitions popping up and i have used every single program on here to unbrick but after all those programs all i get is the damn LG screen and red LED boot loop. I am totally giving up.
.....
Then i have no idea what could fix your phone. I recommend you bring it to a repair shop.

Yeeah I think I will just let it go, it gave me a good run and I will just hang on to it just to have another device in the drawer.
Thanks for the help
