bricked HD

So, lets start at the begining.
Today I was testing the new android build from 20nov.
Everything went fine until restarting my phone into windows. The phone did boot properly, exept the screen stayed off.
Touch input did work.
After a couple of restarts everything was back to normal and i picked up the testing from the android build again.
However, a later on the same problem arised. This time more persistent.
Also the led wouldn't go on anymore when charging the phone...
After 30 tries of rebooting a decided to hard-reset the phone by holding Vol down+up and power. Then waiting a while (because i couldn't see what was happening) and then pressed vol up to hard reset.
Then waited like 5 minutes and then tried to boot again by holding the power button.... Nothing
Then waited another 5 minutes, pulled out the battery and tried another boot.
No succes either.
Bottom-line now.
The phone is dead, won't react to anything, no charging no booting.
What can I do???
No stock rom, so i guess no warranty???
Really hope someone can help!!!

Ouch , you're right about the no guarantee rule but i don't know what u could do ..
Best of luck pal.

Maybe anyone got any experience with garanty+ a flashed rom.
Who brought therte phone back with a flashed rom without telling HTC and got their warranty?
Would be great if that worked (a)

Can you do anything with phone? Try taking battery out for 24hrs before re-inserting it and attempting to reboot. If you can still do nothing with device you may have bricked it and only thing which can be done is to return it, though warranty void. Have you tried asking within Android thread to see if anyone else has had similar issues?

Thanks for the battery tip, i'll try that!
about an hour ago i did get a little response from my phone. It vibrated after pushing the on button!
And then nothing....
This only happens when the phone is not connected to usb(charger or pc, no difference).
I did post my problem in the android thread, however no response.
I'll also PM phhusson about my problem. Would be nasty if more people would brick their phone.
Still like to hear some experiences with the garanty-service of HTC if anyone has got any

if it is so "dead" nobody can say if the ROM was original or not. let them think is a hardware problem and replace yr device!!

Well that is probably what i'm gonna do/try if I can't reanimate is myself
Just hope there really is no way of telling by HTC themselves...

Maybe try to see if you can flash a ROM image on it again from the SD card - doing it blind, there are only a few keys to press to reflash, maybe the screen is not working but the device powers up occasionally ?

Try to flash a new cooked rom. Remove battery, then wait 30 secs, then put back battery and push volume down and power button simultaneously. Then you can flash a new rom.
It worked for me.
(sorry for my "english")

intresting
so, tried to flash via RUU.exe+connecting to my pc.
What I did:
-Vol down+power button
-connect phone to my pc via usb.
-run RUU.exe with a dutty rom
-then RUU says it couldn't find my phone.
However, my pc (windows 7) does!
But not how it is supossed to do it.
Check out the screen to see what i mean.
Maybe something more can be doen now? Anyone knows what is going on here?

Maybe you just need to change drivers??? Becouse sometimes Vista change it by itself, so I think 7 can work in the same way?!
Try it, as far as can see from your screen there are no drivers installed
""Manufacturer: Unknown
Device Status: The driver for this device are not installed.""

Go to - Windows Mobile Device Center, then select - Mobile Device Settings, Connection Settings, then uncheck - Allow USB Connections.
Normally this would be ticked to allow syncs etc but to flash a rom it needs to be unchecked.
I cant tell from your post if you have done this or not.
Hope it helps.

I dont have W7 but would imagine it will be similar.

I don't really think it's compulsory to uncheck this. I have it checked and flash my roms without any problems.
But Blackstone is not a friend of Seven at first. You have to tell him to recognise the other.
I have installed the windows-mobile device center from microsoft website and then Windows 7 recognized my HD otherwise I got the same problem as you (no driver).
Hope it can help !

You may be right but mine will not work with the check mark still on.

It does look like a driver issue. Follow this thread to get the necessary usb drivers.

Do you have the Hspl? If yes can't you try flashing from the sd card? (The connection issue you showed is when you are in active sync mode, isn't it?)

Have you tried to flash an original ROM? It should work regardless of your USB connection settings and if you manage to do that and still no life in your hd - you can return it with warranty. And one more suggestion - find a XP machine to do this. Btw - flashing through the SD card is a very, VERY good idea.

succesfull flash, no result.
First of all, a huge thanks to you guys!
The idea's and help u came up with really made my day.
Second, I got to flash my phone. With the right drivers installed everything worked like it supposed to work.
However, the same problems still persist....
So I think this problem is deeper then rom orientated (ideas?)
Anyhow, now I'm able to flash a original rom to my phone, which should help my warranty!
Great job guys, kudos to you

I already tried flashing through the SD card. Normally this is the way to go for me, but it didn't seem to do any good this time (not sure if I performed it correctly, since my screen is "dead")

I'm a bit confused... you managed to flash rom? So your sync works? (on the other side you say your screen is dead?)

My Samsung Galaxy Ace won't turn on!!!!!

Hello, recently i've flashed my galaxy ace with rom manager (ClockworkMod) so i can make the partition thing to my sd card, so i flashed it, turn it off, and then i won't turn on. I can't even charge my phone! I tried to turn it on in reboot mode but it doesn't do anything. I even tried to turn on download mode and nothing. Not even the samsung logo shows up. Nothing! I'm desesperated, I don't know what to do now. I'm new in this forum, so I will be very very thankful if someone could help me on this. Please.

First, ROM MANAGER BRICKS SAMSUNG GALAXY ACE!
Second, YOUR PHONE IS DEAD. TRY A USB JIG OR GOTO SERVICE CENTER.
Third, WHO TOLD YOU TO USE ROM MANAGER?
Fourth, LIE TO SERVICE CENTER TELLING THAT YOU WERE CHARGING YOUR PHONE AND IT TURNED OFF AND IT NEVER TURNED ON. DO NOT MENTION WORDS LIKE "BRICK","ROOT","ROM MANAGER".
Fifth, Welcome to the world of XDA Developers. DO read the threads with a pin icon in front (A.K.A Sticky)

I never understand, that people who buys a new device, why don't read something about it??? Before I buy my Ace, I read a lot about it, I knew, that it's prohibited to use Rom Manager on Ace... There's a lot of info about it...

Another lost to the dark side of rom manager. Rip the poor thing.

Firstly..CWM ROM Manager?
and ROM manger for partition? all you needed was the CWM Recovery.
We have stickies here for a reason and if you dont read them, do not create new threads when you have problems..

a time try to flash my phone with new firmware, and my phone can't turn on, becouse one input of firmware wrong, and then i try to leave baterry and then, try to go download mode again and flash with new firmware, wait flashing finish and my phone can turn on again.
hopefully working with your phone.

Let's give a try, but I think it won't work. Rom Manager hard bricks Ace, and even download mode won't work. Bring it to service center...

You can use usb jig to force boot into download mode but there's a small chance for it to work
Google usb jig

Have you ever heard something like "don't do something unless you know what you are doing", well this is very useful. There's a reason that none on ace developement doesn't use or recomends ROM manager. Brick.

This actually happened to my phone. Is it a known fault? Is there a way to repair it without taking it to a service centre 30 miles away?

Your device wont turn on?
I wonder why?
Perhaps its got something to do with the fact that you have broken your device into pieces. Not literally but oh well u get the point.

If you're responding to me, I don't get your point. I haven't broken it into pieces, literally or otherwise. I haven't modified the OS in any way since I got it. I plugged it in to charge. It is meant to be able to charge.

You're ace is brick go to repair centre if you have the warranty just say you don't know how this happen, or buy a new phone...

He isnt replying to you!

i face that problem too, after i search the entire thread in this forum then i found this method. try this, maybe it can help :
- pull out your battery
- press the vol down+home+power n in the same time then pull in your battery (if you can't do it alone, ask somebody to help you pull in the battery)
- wait (n pray maybe ) until download mode appear
hope it can help you..:fingers-crossed:

happened the same
i tried flashing stock rom froyo 2.2.1 from odin it cme up as pass but when i dsiconetted nothing happened my phone is ****ed help me anyone it wont even show the samsung logo what do u advise me to do i live in india should i go o the service center or what

Come on everyone!!
Rather than making snide comments, we SHOULD be helping him.
Here, check this out it helped my friend when he bricked his SGA.
Un-Bricking SGA
And remember, from now on use CWM Recovery, or if you want then use ODIN,
BUT NEVER, EVER USE ROM MANAGER. IT'S THE SHINIGAMI FOR OUR PHONE!!!

Another victim of ROM Manager. RIP.

Anyone else installed that update? Because i did, and after instaling the update files in recovery mode the phone rebooted and now is dead, and by dead I mean no charging, no download mode, no recovery.... not even that short vibration when you push the power button

Never use ota updates with custom recovery!

I had stock recovery, maybe the problem was the XXLD1 open europe firmware I flashed insted of my region firmware XXLF4. Now I'm just curios what that update (17.8 mb) was suposed to change

You probably downloaded a corrupt update .
I give up writing anymore signatures.

Hello, this is my first post here on XDA
A friend of mine has the same problem like the OP and "opthy":
I installed the XLD1 FW over his old FW because of rooting (without increasing the binary counter). I said to him he shouldnt do FW Updates OTA from now on. And what do you think he did, huh? :silly:
The phone rebooted into recovery he said, did the FW update and tried to reboot, but it couldnt reboot. He gave it to me, and I tried to get it into recovery = didnt work! Tried to get it into Download-Mode = didnt work! The phone does nothing now, i tried to charge it, but the screen stays black.
I just wanted to ask you, if theres anything I can do. All things that have to do with download-mode e.g. ODIN or recovery via KIES cannot work because I cant put it in download-mode.
Thanks in advance
5-7
P.S.: Im an P990 owner and I had many many problems with it until I got it working properly, but such a problem, that the screen always stays black and the device is "not a bit" booting, I never had before

Could You share any changes you notice after the upgrade??
The update have also popped on my phone yesterday. Is it really safe to update? By the way mine is XXLD1 and the update is to XXLK2. I'm really scared to update because I bought my phone from the grey market(much cheaper hahaha). Another reason is I want a white SGSA and the only one available was from europe and I'm in the Philippines so warranty might not be on my reach.
Is it worth the upgrade? cause if its not the I would just wait for the JB update next year.

That's a hard brick, and there's nothing you can do there, only if you had a setool box you could recover it. I bricked my T by messing up with the bootloader, after a lot of research I sent my T to Sony saying that I didn't know what happened, it wasn't booting. A month and some weeks after i received a free new T.
Maybe you will continue reasearching, but I don't think you are gonna find anything, my best advice is to send it to Sony as faster as possible, so you will have it quicker. Also don't mention unlocked bootloader or anything, play it crazy.

but i do not have a warrenty i got it without warrenty

Then you are screwed... Might as well put it in the bin

Well, then restore it? Alternatively, you can try to flash a stock firmware through flashtool. That should reset the partition table.

That's why is called a hard brick. Soft bricks are easy. If you mess with the partition table you are asking for trouble if you don't know what you are doing.

Can you get into flash mode? Green led? Then it is not hard bricked. (If you did not ever touched mmcblk0p1.) Remove all drivers, install them again, try different version of flashtool, etc.

If you can't get into flash mode (green led, while connecting and holding volume down), then your battery is dead and you must charge it elsewhere (or buy new battery) or it's really bricked.

i unstalled the driver and reinstalling them but QHSUSB_DLOAD searching for driver then it changed the name to ZEUS Flah driver

setools is hardware and software combo for sony phones, you must buy data card to use setools if not card mean you cannot use setools to flash any thing first your phone must at least can boot into flash mode, fastboot mode or cwm, if all of those cannot, then you can bin your phone:crying::crying:

Not true, even if you don't have proof of purchase Sony will still repair your phone under the 2 year warranty, they use the manufacturer code on the phone displayed as 11w22 11 being the year and w22 being week 22 of that year.
I have sent in two phones which I bought of ebay and they have repaired them under warranty with no questions asked. So to the OP if you just do what was suggested, to send in the phone in and act dumb that you dont know what happened it could work
best of luck buddy

already sent it acted like a dump kid and they told me u will have to pay 90% of ur mobile price to fix it bcs the motherbored
but i have found alot of peopls got the same problem
like z ultra users and z1 they fixed there with s1tool
nexus 4 users and htc users got the same problem and fixed it ! why not xperia v users we are all android ! please help :s

I messed up really bad. No download mode.

So, I was trying to update and root my friend's phone. It was in 2.3.6 or whatever the default Android was on it .
First of all, I couldn't get into download mode and other way than using ADB.
I wanted to root it. I folowed this guide, but the phone's baseband was not on the list. I just decided to go with the Hungarian once, since I'm Hungarian. After flashing the sound of the phone was bad and it was losing signal all the time. It could receive messages but couldn't send any.
After this, I've updated to 4.1 from Sammobie where I found a Hungarian firmware for the matching carrier. (T-Mobile) Still no signal.
Last, I tried to fix the signal by flashing the old 2.3.6 version, a Hungarian one with matching carrier.
Now the phone got briced and freezes on the Samsung logo. When charging it only shows that "loading" icon. I can't access download mode in any phisical way. Tried. Can't access through ABD because the phone isn't booting.
So, if I do this USB Jig, will my phone boot automatically to Download mode when connected, or I shouldn't bother with it? Any ideas how to fix this?
Thanks in advance! Have a nice day!

Try to remove the batt. For 10 mins and place it back in the phone.
Then try to boot into download mode again

Thanks for the advice, I'll try it right now.
But I'm not sure if it will work because I couldn't boot into Download mode by buttons even when the phone was working well.
I've tried these.

USB Jig it's just to force boot in download mode, are you sure that keys work?

Thanks for repying!
Yeah I'm pretty sure that they work. Before I tried to flash back the 2.3.6 the buttons had worked perfectly. I couldn't use the buttons to get into download or recoery mode even when the phone was "intact".

While trying to get into download mode, be sure that cable is not connected to phone, and release all three buttons 1 second after you feel vibration

Thanks for suggesting, but I couldn't get into download mode even when I stopped pressing the buttons 1s after the vibration...

I guess it's an issue by param.lfs, there's nothing you can do without an USB Jig now

I see. I'm about to make the USB Jig that I've linked in before. Hope It will work.
Also, what kind of things modify that file? Custom ROMs, basebands?

That file (if not manually touched) is touched only through Odin tar.md5.
If can help you, this is my homemade Jig

Solder quality isn't perfect lol
I used 3 resistors, one 1KOhm and two 150KOhm in series to have 301KOhm (without calculating tolerance, 5%)
MicroUSB type B male pinout
Solder resistor/s between pins 4 and 5

Well, I only flashed one file, which I assume was the whole firmware in one package. (I9070XXLK2_I9070TMHLK1_HOME.tar.md5) If you mean this, maybe this was the problem.
Anyway, thanks for the images, altrough I read that I need exactly 300k Ohm.
Thanks for the pictures!

Thanks for your pics man! I made one myself and it works nicely. The only problem left is that I can't enter Recovery mode...
