Hard-Bricked my S4 Active (AT&T). - Galaxy S 4 Active Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So uh a few months ago i installed the android lollipop update on my galaxy s4 active SGH-i537, After the update installed it wouldn't turn back on even after charging it! then later that day i tried to fix the device via odin. it wouldn't detect the device. windows detects my device to be a "Qualcomm QD-Loader 9008" i also googled that name. and then thats when i found out the device was hard bricked. so can someone lend me a hand and help me out with this? i have no idea what to do anymore.

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 !

No. Google mobiletechvideos. It's a service you send your device to and they jtag it.

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.

You're hard bricked. Jtag or warranty are your only options.

Doesnt Work
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.

[Q] Bricked Samsung Ativ S T899M Rom Flash?

New to Windows Phone 8 (been flashing custom ROMs on Android phones for a few years). Got an unlocked (previous Rogers) Ativ S SGH-T899M from Canada and have been using it on T-Mobile for the past few months. I tried to update it to GDR3 via the "Preview for Developers" and the phone is bricked. It gave me a BSOD error during the update and now it won't turn on. I tried every button combination possible to reset it to no avail.
When I connect it to my PC, it comes up as a Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COM3).
I've searched everywhere and it seems that there are no T899M ROMs to flash? Any ideas and help would be greatly appreciated it. I love my phone and don't want to get rid of it!
No ROMS are available for it. I've been meaning to ask who has been leaking the ROMs for the 3g/non-lte model, but I have no clue. This is one of the things I've covered in the FAQ.
ROM is out... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=58872571&postcount=6

So hard-bricked i9305

Hi,
a few days ago my friend gave me his I9305 to flash kitkat custom rom. I thought "easy"...
But not.
After flash TWRP via ADB, i turned off phone and until this day it's dead.
I can't boot phone, still blackscreen.
Can't get into DL or recovery mode too.
No vibration, no LED lighting.
True rock.
I tried lots of method to unbrick phone as copy from linux machine debrick image, but i could just copy i9300 img, i can't find any i9305 debrick image.
Odin doesn't see my phone, but...
computer does. QHUSB_DLOAD device. I used drivers for that and now I have uncompletly installed Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008.
I gave my friend dark-pink HTC meanwhile and he isn't fascinated.
Wish i will find help here

you flashed a wrong file, QHUSB_DLOAD its a qualcomm high speed usb download mode, its used like a odin, but more emergencial than it.(and only for qualcomm soc devices)
see what i wrote? it´s a q qualcomm thing, yet the i9305 its an exynos device, just the american models are qualcomm devices(dual core snapdragons). you cant do anything now, the file you flashed probably contained a qcom bootloader. you best bet would be jtag
JTAG?
i can buy it, but i can't find any information about that which parts of JTAG I have to buy and most important thing... I need image to flash via JTAG. I can find 2134253468855 guides how to revive i9300, but 0 about i9305...
An I9305 should never give QHSUSB_DLOAD, being Exynos. Looks like you've got a US Galaxy S3 reprogrammed to look like an I9305. You flashed actual I9305 FW on it, which the Qualcomm SoC can't make sense of, hence QHSUSB_DLOAD.
Use a guide for US-spec S3s to revive it.
Sent from my GT-I9305 using XDA Free mobile app
i used other battery.
i bought usb dongle to boot s3 into download mode. works on i9300, but not on i9305 with fine battery.
US spec? i9305 is from Hong Kong, they have no idea about that i guess.
absolutely the same brick over here with european version (germany). have u found a solution or did you throw the phone away?

SM-T818V USB will only charge

Hi, I have a Verizon Tab S2 9.7 that seems to be having a major USB malfunction... No matter what USB setting I use (mtp,ptp,randis,midi,ext) when i plug in my device to a computer (i have tried 3 diff comps) the computer will not even register anything connected to it. the device will charge no problem but no matter what drivers i have installed or what cable i use it will not show up. It also does not show anything in download (odin) mode, or recovery so i can not even re-flash the stock firmware to try to fix it that way. i asked Verizon if they could get me an update.zip of their latest firmware ota update and was told there was nothing they could do. So I am left in a bind as if anything goes wrong with the tablet other than not being able to transfer files, there is nothing i can do to repair it. It has never been rooted and is on the latest firmware release for its model with a locked bootloader. Im not sure what to do or what my next step should be. I am attempting to root it using kingroot but no luck as i expected. thought it would be a lot easier to fix with root but with the locked bootloader im out of options. Any help is appreciated as this is my main tablet which i use for everything. thank you in advance.

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.
