Tried to flash button rom with full battery. Comunication error. Only boots to 3 color bars. Every time I retry the flash the phone starts flashing on and off.
Mmmmmm
What is the problem....?
Does your wizard dont begins... so it wont wake up... dont start ?
You cant turn it on?
What do you mean with turn on and off?
is blinking?
If the problem is its blinking and dont stands on... it is a serios problem but if the wizard saty on ... what ipls and spl got?
What did you do?
Men we need to much info..... than it is on bootloader, i cant upgrade etc etc etc.
FUUUUUUU******@@@@@
while flashing the button rom, i got a communication error. At random times after connecting the phone via usb the screen flashes on an off and communication is lost. sometimes the phone gets mostly through the flash, sometimes it wont even start to flash. But here is the f-ing kicker, while trying to recover in the button flasher proggie, my computer locked up and WILL NOT TOUR BACK ON. thats right, i lost my phone and computer in 5 minutes thanks to this flasding sh*t. i am only able to access this forum via a blackjack II smartphone.
OK, Feeling better
Sorry about that.
I got my computer back on.
It wouldnt even go to cmos so I traded out my cpu, still didnt work.
Put the old cpu back in and it booted just fine. Not sure why that happened but at least my computer is back on.
Ok so back to the phone. It boots to the 3 color bar screen and shows IPL/SPL as 2.25. After connecting the USB cable it will sometimes start flashing, not always. If I restart the button rom flasher it will start to flash, after getting to some % the phone starts flashing.
By flashing I mean the screen flashes on and off. Likely the phone is rebooting itself constantly.
Undo?
Is it possible to just undo what ive done? Is the old info still on the phone? IPL/SPL are still the same as before.
No, your old info is not on the phone anymore. The first thing that is done when the flashing process begins is deletion of your flash on your phone. This may seem like a n00b question, but have you tried using a different USB port? DO NOT flash with a port off of a hub, they are usually under powered when compared to direct board connected ports. Try one on the back of your tower(or directly in your notebook whatver.) and see if that works.
It also failed on the back usb port.
All is not lost is it?
I believe that this phone might need a new battery.
I had some problems with the phone turning off when it wasn't supposed to but it hasn't done it in a long time so I though I was ok. Do you think that a new battery might allow this downgrade to complete?
Its possible. The Wizard is kind of a tempermental device....it flashes when it wants to some time. You can try and see if a new battery is what fixes the problem, but in all honesty, it could be anything.
Xtrange
ok
try to get connecte with that cable other device, maybe is broken the cable...
try another usb port...
download again the button rom, maybe is corrupted.
lets wait what happen
Its your battery , replace the battery and it will charge and then you can flash it,you can get two batteries for a tenner on ebay
Battery
OK, so once the new battery comes, it will charge via usb and wall charger just as it would with the OS installed? Im not sure if charging is dependent on the OS at all.
Thanks for all of your help guys.
Does it charge?
It charges??????
in bootloader dont charge men....
if the phone stuckson welcome screen maybe charges, on htc logo dont, neither on splash screen.
All we do is try to help people to upgrade and try to found solutions for those who made a bad upgrade, but i didn't cook, and dont develop anything so my only contribution is for experiences.
Hope your wizard revives.
My wizard does not bootup...only three color bars
I was trying to flush with new ROM and it stopped after 100% and in the mean times, my system rebooted. Now I got this MDA with three color bars, battery is OK but important thing is that it does not connect to computer thru Active Sync............any help>
Hi everybody,
a friend of mine got his HTC One (black) yesterday and rooted it. He flashed a proper custom ROM on it which I and another one of my work buddy use as well without any issues (InsertCoin). No further flashes done, no other custom kernels, no S-Off, no SuperCID. Just unlocked Bootloader and custom ROM.
He let the device run dry yesterday evening so it shut off itself automatically. He put it on his charger, the phone turned on, he did some surfing and installing apps from the market and set up his alarm. The phone charged over night and he was also able to switch off the alarm this morning.
He got ready for work, got into his car and wanted to switch on the screen on the one for some good tunes. But the screen stayed black.
When I arrived at work, he was a little upset and panicked a little. I thought I was able to recover the device.
After plugging it in to my work computer, the device manager just shows a unknown device called "QHSUSB_DLOAD" so I went to google and looked it up..
Weird thing is: QHSUSB_DLOAD wasnt seen yet on the HTC One (M7) as far as I can see it and it was pretty bad on the HTC One S. It means "Qualcom High Speed USB Download Mode" and on the One S as well as on the Nexus 4 this devices showed up after the bootloader got damaged or the device got stuck in that mode for good.
When plugging the device in (USB / Wall charger) the charging LED doesnt turn on at all, the capacitive buttons dont start to blink while holding down the power button as well.
This thing seems to be gone for good.
But aint it the way that we dont even have any access to the bootloader if its not an official update from HTC? Signature check and stuff? Since the device was rooted, no OTA updates were able to arrive at all. He told me that he didnt try to flash anything after we flashed the custom ROM.
Any advice on that?
Did you even try booting the device first thru hboot/bootloader or holding the power button to force a restart? If you did try connecting the device while on QHSUSB_DLOAD and execute a compatible RUU on your PC. RUU uses android's download mode to flash the ROM so it should be repaired by an RUU.
Already tried, no luck. Tells me the device has not been found.
I am sorry to hear that, man, but from the looks of it your friend now has a paperweight. I'd take it to an HTC service center and hear what they have to say regarding this; of course it will no longer be covered under warranty, but maybe they can fix it for you for a price or something.
Are you sure RUU can't find the phone? If it can't then I guess only a JTAG box can fix it so either send it to HTC for repair or have someone who knows JTAG fix it.

I saw this issue on my friend's GS3 once. It was hard bricked and there was no way to recover from what I read (at least on the GS3). I know I saw a thread somewhere here in this forum about the same issue and someone linked to a Sensation thread where there was a way to fix it but I'm not sure if it would apply to the One
Same problem - but the phone magically fixed itself!
I had the exact same problem with my HTC One as described in OP...
My alarm went off in the morning and I set off for work, my battery was low but I thought that I would just charge it when I got to work. I was playing a game (Dungelot) whilst waiting for my bus and was receiving pop up messages about low battery. When it got to 4% left I decided that I would finish the level then close the game down, but as I was just about to finish, the phone went blank...I assumed that I had naturally used up all the battery life and although peeved that I had probably lost my progress in the game, wasn't too bothered.
I got to work and plugged my phone in to charge on my computer. The computer wanted to search for QHSUSB_DLOAD drivers but I thought this must be what it does when my phone isn't switched on and it finds the device. I cancelled the search prompt and tried to switch my phone on...nothing happened.
I tried for the rest of the day, trying to force shut down the bricked phone by holding power in for 30 secs, trying to power into boot mode etc...everything! But the phone would not switch on and the only response I got from it was a little orange LED every now and again and the QHSUSB_DLOAD prompt.
After googling the prompt - I found myself here and REALLY began to sh*t my pants! I've only had the phone less than a month and felt I was tech-savvy enough to flash my phone with a new ROM (Android Revolution HD) to try and get rid of some of the bloatware. I had flashed a new ROM successfully a coupld of weeks before and everything had been fine up that point.
I went home depressed but throught i'd try to plug my phone into a proper mains charger rather than my work's old USB cable (that came with my previous HTC Desire Z) I was going to try a long night of searching the net to try and find a way where I could at least recover the photo's, Zoe's and vids of my new born son but had such a headache that I gave up and went for an early night.
I was woken unexpectedly the next morning by my phone alarm going off! I stopped the alarm and the home just went to Home screen as normal! I don't know how or why these events happened...whether it was the flashed ROM, the game I was playing, the battery running out before the phone could shut down properly, the old USB cable in my work not charging but detecting the device or a combination of all of those, but so far, the phone jumped back into life with the alarm after being charged in the mains all night!
Thought i'd share as it may just help someone else out there who encounters this!
Some phones have miraculously come back from QHSUSB_DLOAD with no explanation of why. Other than that it usually means a hard brick. You can send it to HTC, they will charge you and replace the main board, from what I've heard.

I wonder if having your alarm set saved you. This phone will actually power itself on so as not to miss an alarm.

Hi Try4Ce,
I am facing the same issue. If your friend's phone is fixed, can you share with me how the fix happened?
Many thanks in advance.

Jtag or send it to HTC is the only way.

My Solution
Had the same Problem.
My Solution was to Download "HTC One (M7) Toolkit" and force Fastboot.
Pushed Power and Volume Down until Screen was Flashing.
Took about 2 minutes and the Phone was rebooting.
I have no idea what was happening. I have no idea if this helps or works for others. But its worth trying.
Sorry for my bad english.

This is some kind of mode that is enabled when you hold power on button when the device battery is completely drained. i.e. when you try to turn device on it will not boot up (Special I was connected to usb cable via PC to charge my phone NEXUS 4 when I get into this mode). I saw a similar mode where nvflash commands are executed something like APX(can't recall correctly) with Tegra 4 device (that time also I was connected with a usb cable and charging the tablet when it was completely drained!). A simple solution to quit this issue is DO not Panic and let the device get a little charge. After that boot normally with the power button. In case if it didn't try other modes to enter such as recovery or fastboot reboot commands if your device is getting recognised..
QHSUSB DLOAD means its a hard bricked phone, No amount of messing about with it will fix it, Send it to a service centre, it will probable have to have the motherboard replaced..Sorry
My device entered in QHSUSB_DLOAD mode after the 4.4 ota was installed and 30 minutes later, I was able to turn up the phone. It restarted itself like 5 times and then it was normal. Miracle..

What do you mean by "force"? What did you do exactly?
My device wouldn't do anything, and it was in QHSUSB_DLOAD . But when I later pushed the power button for a minute, it worked.

mine spent the night carrying on waking took the charger and the green light for continued access, tried to turn it on but could not. After reading your response, I tried to hold the power button for longer. After 15 seconds the phone rang and the light came on, everything works perfect so far
Today while I was updating firmware phone gone to QHSUSB_DLOAD mode.
I am guessing it's end of road. :crying:
Hi there!
This thread is my last hope, so please dont let me down folks...:cyclops:
The story short - one sunny morning i turned on my HTC Nexus One and it got stuck with te X on the screen for about 15 minutes, non of the buttons responded, so i did the first thing that came in my mind - i pulled out the battery. After inserting the battery the phone went full brick, i mean literally, no reaction on anything, even conected to the wall charger, there is no sign of life, no charging LED, nothing. Connected to the PC, it says USB device not recognised.
I dont think this is a hardware proble, the phone workwd fine until this interrupted power on. Phone runned on stock Androud, i have not played aroun with it - no bootloader unlock, no rooting.
I searched the internet for a solution, tried a lot of button combinations like in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1069032
but still no luck, i cannot restore or flash it while my PC does not recognise the phone.
Found some info about those Usb Jig things, but they work only on Samsung phones, so, is there a way to force the phone to go in recovery mode, or give any sign of life so i can try to recover it or flash a diferent ROM?
The warranty has ended, so no hope there.
Hope there is a way out of this, and, sory for my bad english. :good:
If you can't get your phone to bootloader, recovery or os then your phone is bricked. You could hope its as simple as a bad battery but chances are you would need JTAG to get it running again and at that point you are best of just getting a new phone.
Sorry for the bad news

I have the feeling I'm going to get repetitive here guys, but I've been reading the troubleshooting threads for over an hour and couldn't find an answer to help me.
Last saturday I was to lazy to move from the couch, so I watched as my S3 Mini ran out of battery. I got the "phone is turning off" screen as usual. Later I went to bed, but as I needed my alarm to go off in the morning I tried turning it on again, and nothing* happened. Plugged it on the wall, nothing*. Replaced the battery, nothing*. Gave it a good half hour plugged, and as you can guess, nothing*.
* when I say nothing, I mean it won't light up, won't vibrate, won't wink for me, won't load any kind of error, it's actually just like if you were trying to turn on a phone without any battery connected, no grasp of life comes from its poor soul.
The only moment I could see some action on the device is when I tried connecting it on the PC a few hours ago, as it installed drivers to Windows. Right after installing the drivers however, it won't show in the file explorer. I've tried to detect it with a few development tools such as ORT and Odin and there was no sucess either. Download or Recover mode will not work as well.
One thing I think worth mentioning, is that ever since I rooted it a couple of years ago, whenever I tried to recharge it while it was off, the standard "green charging battery" would never appear. What would appear on the screen was a freezed loading icon (the one that keeps roling again and again, but frozen). This particular issue never came off, even reseting it or installing new ROMs.
I always used Maclaw's, some of the latest 4.x, because I tought the 5.x was to heavy for the s3 minis.
I've read some about USB JIGs and stuff, but what makes me very curious is what the heck?! The phone was working just fine, the battery runs out and I have a brick? Is this possible? Can anyone tell me any work around?
I apologize for possible grammar mistakes.

Hi there,
Thank you for your interest but I have passed this point already. Tried a brand new battery I had laying down in the drawer (which was fully charged with an universal charger) and there is no answer to any attempt of turning it on. Via recovery, download or normal boot.

Hello there,
I'm sorry to hear I'm not the only one affected by this bug (lets call it a bug). This shows there is a lack of concern from Samsung on dealing with this issues, and thus we see that old programmed obsolescence.
I will try that later on the weekend, and I come back here with an report.
Cheers

this guide useless for you. how u want flash things with odin if u cant enter download mode at all??
im really sorry for you that this phone is dead. just can give you 1 advice, dont buy samsung in future.
I have been repaired my phone successfully!!!
I just needed to change two capacitors on its motherboard, and that's it.
Here the video where I have found the info and how to do that. It's in Spanish but easy to understand for you I think. But if you need some help, send me a PM.
can you take a picture from the location of the 2 capasitors and the types of it
Hi everyone.
I have some news. It took me a while but I followed CrashOverride93's advice on that video. It actually solved one issue, as I now can turn it on, but now I have a second problem, I'm stuck on a boot loop, with acess to Download mode ONLY. No recovery.
Considering where my issue started, and where I am now, I have tried the following:
- Flashed via Odin stock ROM, kernel;
- flashed Wipe;
- flashed PARAM;
- three button combo.
So far I couldn't get it pass the boot loop. Any thoughts?
Ok guys,
as the title says Lumia 710 is bricked.
It had last factory update and everything was working fine. Then i had to mess with it and to try to install Rataplan V9.1.
The process was working ok. By default, bootloader was in DLOAD mode, so in order to install custom ROM i needed to upgrade to Qualcomm. I have upgraded it and installed Rataplan .nb rom to the phone with NSSPro V0.54.
This is when my problems start.
The phone starts with one long vibration followed after few seconds with one short virbtation and thats it. No screen, no system, zip!
When i try to connect it again by usb to check it with NSSPro, it always starts in NAND disk mode. It does not matter do i start it normally on power button or with volume up. Its always in NAND. And it is always stuck. While the phone is connected to USB i can see Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM device in device manager but it has yellow mark like the driver is not installed.
I have tried several other roms, and NSS always shows that the rom is successfully installed, but the phone (other than vibration and NAND mode) is dead.
I have also tried all the solutions i could find on the net but no help. Tried, nokia recovery tool, WP recovery tool, Chimera e.t.c. Nothing works. Now i have a problem with NSS. It keeps stucking and beeing unresponsive for every option except Custom OS flash. Whatever else i click it either says tha phone is not detected or the app stucks and shuts itself down.
Is there other tool i can try?
Can i do anything to recover this phone or did i kill it?
PLEASE HELP!!!
Well that sucks and it sucks no one has tried to help here. I'm fair with Android but too new to WP's to probably be much help. Can you pull the battery out of the phone? Might pull it and leave it out a couple minutes then retry. You also might try from a different computer in case something has gone wrong on your computer in terms of port communication or maybe even a virus of some sort. Good luck.

Tried allready every solution that i could find or think of, including things You described. Nothing. I was left with no other option but to send phone to service. They have a box unit with which they should be able to recover phone.
That was 2 days ago. today is third day so i am thinking that my phone has gone beyond repair. Only thing i can do is to wait and see...
Why not...?
Why not send it in real life to a windows phone expert. There should be a place to get phones repaired But, if they say that it isn't possible for them you may have rendered your phone useless. Google should be your mighty friend in this case :crying: I wish you very good luck.
