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?)

Lg Black Optimus is only on the screen of lg!

hi guys, I need your help, I have a lg optimus black, and installed the 2.3.4 version of the android official v20n, and did not like because I still had no way to root, so I wanted to return to the android 2.2, before returning did a factory reset, so that when the phone restarted he only stayed on the screen of lg, i removed the battery and put back, the phone rang often, but now, all life that I hang up and call him again he is on the screen of LG, then I have to remove the battery, wait a while, and there again put the phone connects normally, but I'm worried, because all this started after I did a factory reset, help me please.
Thanks in advance.
Now my phone does not pass the screen of lg or removing the battery, help me!

Well, it is very important to factory reset after you downgrade. Use search, everybody recommends it.

Do THIS exactly step by step and it'll work.
If not, you're doing something wrong.

does your phone go to "software update" state after pluging the cable in while holding volume up button?
give us more info about what is happening...

I've used this tutorial http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1448803, I tried to use their own software lg, went into the mod emegência, typed my imei, I put the model, I hit vol + and put the usb cable, the screen s / w upgrading, and made the process, but to no avail it does not leave the screen lg, I'm almost sending him into the service.

So do you get to the screens where it says software Update or so? If you get there, I would try to do the trick at another PC, since it doesnt seems to work on all operating systems. Mine e.g. with win XP wouldnt wanna do it once, but with Win 7 64 bit I was able to do it.
Can you give us a screen, where we can see ur screen when connected to USB while holding Vol UP button?
And not only HIT the vol UP button, but hold it, until the software update screen comes up. Otherwise it wont get there

Man is and my windows 7 64 bit, I've tried all processes.
Lg Software update
v10b my lg optimus black came with version 10b, this did not work.
KDZ
v10a
v10b
v20n
Also failed.
Smartflash tool
v10a
Nor did it.
I do not know what else to do anything more than right.

Anybody from your country here? Who can try to fix it for u? If not, you can also send it to me, just write a message... or give it back to lg support center

LOL! You need to upload the picture to somewhere and post the link then or go to advanced settings and the paperclip and upload it this way Since this is a Local path on your disk only

kkkkkkkkk, sorry. kkkk

Could you upload it in better resolution (higher quality), since I cant read anything at all... And pls discribe whats written there in red and other important messages in spanish (at least I think it is ) since my spanish also aint the best/ I never spoke it
And btw, its normal that it gets stuck at 4%, just try again, wait till phone reboots and enjoy otherwise you know what to do

You can get into download mode right? Flash stock rom again through a kdz flashing method. You can find it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2069723 and the stock firmware here http://lg-phone-firmware.com/index.php?id_mod=15

Try to run in compatibility mode with xp ... Got windows enabler on ?

i think the guide there at step 7 is a bit wrong. how can you disable the phone and flash the rom ? if the pc cant "see" the machine connected , is it even possible ? ...
it didnt work. when i installed the usb drivers the windows couldnt recognise the phone. i switched the driver from mobile to portable something. i had only 2 available choices at the manage section if i didnt check to show compatible only machines. after switching to that driver... ( curse windows and their bugs ) , automatically switched back to mobile.... and my phone was connected to my pc....after that i continued with the flash rom and now its back working. Thank you !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! im new to android. i has iphone since years.

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.

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

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%)

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...
