Before anyone tells me to ask on the specific thread or go on irc to get help, please know that I did all of those and thats why I'm opening a thread
So, I bricked my HTC Sensation a couple of months back while trying to update firmware from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1412618
But it didn't work properly, and then it didnt have a ROM and it needed a firmware too, and nothing worked. So anyways, i kept trying and all of a sudden my phone wouldn't turn on, charge or anything at all. I realised it was bricked. So recently I saw this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1522351
So I decided to give it a try, but my problem is that when i type the command in the terminal, it said device wasn't connected.
Then i came across this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Pcxt6nKI10
So after much effort, I got my sensation to become QHSUSB_DLOAD mode on my computer in Windows. But I realised after I take out my battery and sdcard and plug it into my linux computer, the same thing happens. And when i plug it back into my windows, it doesnt get recognized as QHSUSB_DLOAD anymore.
And it's really hard to get my sensation to show qhsusb_dload mode too.
Any advice on my problem? Thanks. Really wanna get my sensation alive again.

I need help! I rooted my new htc inspire and was downloading some of the 3rd party apps I use from market. One of the programs which was a font changer bricked my phone. I have reviewed every possible way to unbrick it and nothing works. When I go into bootloader the only options I have are hboot, which turns to hboot usb plug when plugged to the computer, fast boot, recovery, factory reset, simlock and image crc. Hboot does nothing I installed the hboot drivers and still nothing. I did recovery and it stalls on the HTC bootup screen then slowly blacks out, factory reset it just boots to the htc boot screen and sticks there. I have pulled the battery out more then 50 times, that doesnt work. Htc sync does not recognize that the phone is connected to the computer and the revoke hboot usb installer sees that the android is hooked up to the computer but doesnt do anything except tell me the drivers are installed. I used Bubby's one click root to root my phone. Can anyone help? This is the second phone I bricked and considering I just bought this I really dont have the money to buy another phone. Any help would be awesome!!!!
Have you tried an ODIN yet? Find the stock image for your phone (should be a tar), use odin, and flash it. Make sure you have the correct USB drivers for your phone installed.
In fact, look at this thread here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11419005&postcount=2
Ive wanted to try it but was a little weary about doing it cause I though ODIN was for capitvate phones and because the ruu is from cingular and im on AT&T. Also wonder how to do it when I can not set my phone to debug or disk drive.
remove battery and keep it outside for 12 hr. then put it back and restart...
Done that already last night after it bricked. It still does the same thing. Im downloading the ruu the sync doesnt acknowledge my phone at all and the drivers on my phone are right and up to date. Except how do I put the ruu on my phone if my phone does not bootup and if I go into the bootloader screen it takes me right to the htc boot screen and doesnt go farther. Im following all the steps that have been posted in other threads but it doesnt help when I already tried majority of these things. I dont know if there is any other option to unbrick my phone if this does not work!
Ok the RUU says it can not read my phone. I get an error saying USB connection error and says to check if the phone is connected to the usb cable and the cable is connected to the pc. All of which it is. So what do I do next as the ruu cant even read my phone?

Me 2 today!!!
After countless of weeks trying to figure out what's wrong and how to fix it, I might as well ask help from the masters,
I bought this phone in a non-working condition and was only told it just needed charging.
Here's what I know about it so far:
Z560e
PJ40200
so it's an S3
the phone does not boot up
I cannot get into hboot
the phone shows an amber light when connected to a power source, so I'm assuming it's charging.
sometimes gets detected by the computer as qhsusb_dload but I can't seem to reproduce the condition that it does get detected.
I have taken the phone apart, connected it without the battery to see if qhsusb_dload is detected to no avail
I don't know how it got into this situation and haven't tried any of the methods to fix this as it might worsten the situation.
i have tried to get this checked by a local shop to get it jtagged but he failed and I'm not entirely sure if he put any effort it
I wanna know what's wrong with it and if or how I can fix it?
Any help would be greatly appreciated :highfive:
Is the mode displayed qhusb or qhusb_dload on PC?
it's displayed as qhsusb_dload.
what are the differences exactly? Just so I'd know so I could help out others.
Qhusb is totally bricked and can only be repaired with jtag. Normally qhusb happens by flashing wrong hoot, or recovery etc.
Qhusb_dload can be repaired with PC. Most of the time.
Did you used unlimited.io tool?
Ps I live in Germany, so I won't respond anymore today. Too late here .
wew, well that's a relief. :cyclops:
I haven't yet but I'll try unlimited.io's solution, see if that fixes it.
thanx for your time, it's 5am where I'm from right now and I'll keep working on this till i pass out. :victory:
update: tried unlimited.io's QHSUSB_DLOAD fix but to no avail either, any other suggestions?
No no. Don't try it . Oh damn... Now it's definitely bricked...
I asked if you used it not tried to use it.
Don't wanted you to use it.
hm.. so, what do I do now?
Replied on pm
ok.. so just charge it until Monday?
Yes
@tecardo
my one s s3 too is also bricked like agili, i tried to update to jellybean via OTA and the phone suddenly shutsdown. and now it is bricked. pls help me thanks
Still report back on Monday.
alright, monday is here. what's next?
I would need one of your One S. The reason i had you wait: The battery discharges in this state. If it's empty it's hard to repair.
So someone of you needs to check this: Run a RUU. When Phone is connected.
i ran the ruu, i get an error 170?
so uh, where do i send the phone?
also, would you like me remove the battery so it doesn't discharge on the way there? ill also have it disassembled to save you the trouble
same here tecardo, pls also tell me where i will send my phone im kinda desperate. thanks.
I only need 1 device to look if I can fix it
Hi,
my friend's Nexus S was stuck in a bootloop. i went into recovery mode and hard reset the phone, so that the phone would come back to stock. however, the phone was being reset when the battery of the phone came off, switching it off.
the phone fails to start. there is no response when i try charging it. Also, it does not go into DOWNLOAD mode or FASTBOOT, so i cant even run any utilities to flash the stock rom back. adb commands as well as the nexus toolkit show that there is no device connected.
can anybody suggest me what to do?? i was gonna try odin but i read somewhere that it is only useful for custom recoveries, not to flash stock roms.
i've gotten some usb drivers mentioned at some thread, saying i would have to update my 'android' device listed in the device manager using them, but i cant seem to find any device mentioned in my device manager either.
any suggestions as to what i should do??

Something like this happened to me a week ago. I have Nexus S 4G. So, I ordered USB Jig from usbjig.com and now I have download mode. It worked! :laugh:
You can buy USB Jig from that site, or build it yourself, or borrow it from someone.
So here is the problem. I got a friends phone, which for some reason does'nt turn on or charge. The Phone is a HTC PG58100 T-Mobile.
Im using a Apple Mac OSX. I did try to charge the phone, But nothing happened. No Lights Worked, But after an hour or so, the board where the usb is connected gets hot, not very hot though.
1. I tried, booting it with the various key combinations suggested, But nothing happened. The Screen didn't even turn on.
2. Tried the ./brickdetech.sh command on my mac. But this is what I get.
"MacBook-Pro:unbrick lesteroliver$ sudo ./brickdetect.sh
Password:
Searching for bricked device...
sed: 1: "/sd.27 sd.28/{ s/.*\(sd ...": extra characters at the end of q command
Device can't be detected. Check connections
MacBook-Pro:unbrick lesteroliver$
It would be great if anyone could help me out with this issue. thanks.
Please Note: I think the phone must have bricked when someone tried to flash a new rom on to this career locked phone or may be a PIT error, I'm not sure.
Thanks.

if you don't have access to the bootloader and unbricking project fails then only jtag method remains
see this thread too

My HTC Sensation 4G was stuck in a bootloop but I could still access the bootloader (power+volume down), I took it 2 years ago to an HTC store but they gave it to me back worse than before, it was not turning on at all. I tried this week to follow this tutorial http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1522351 (using the latest stable Ubuntu) for unbricking it but my device isn't detected using the ./brickdetect.sh command (I tried reading the notes concerning plugging it in a 2.0 usb port, with/without battery but nothing changed). However, when I plug it to my Windows, I see in the drivers qhsusb_dload
What can I do?? Please help.

The unbricking is, as stated in the unbricking thread, only for bricked phones which were bricked by turning back to S-ON.
If it doesn't boot at all and you'll get it recognized only as qhsusb_dload it's hard bricked and most likely you won't be able to recover it.
May I ask why you didn't bring the phone to the store again when you got it back?
