bricked phone?

okay so i think i bricked my phone. its very strange like my usb got turned off but i have only installed infuse 4g roms so i have no clue how that could happen
anyways it will boot to the samsung logo and nothing else. even with a jig i made and tested on my friends nexus s (and every button combo for download/recovery)
any ideas? before i tried to reflash i was getting some weird problems like my phone would charge in sperts as if i was continuously pluging and unplugging the device. and i couldnt use the usb to transfer files

i have read countless but thanks for your input. i have not seen anything helpful. the only things close were known 100 percent to be a bad usb and not for this model phone. but regardless i believe i will be getting a new one in the mail shortly but i believe someone should maybe make a tutorial on replacing the micro usb inside the phone. although no way of knowing if that was the problem or not. hopefully they wont be billing me after they realize my phone was rooted with miui

HTC Sensation Bricked? Suddenly can't turn on anymore..

Hi guys,
I've run into some problems, I installed Android Revolution HD 6.5 two days ago. Everything worked like a charm, now I shutted down my phone to go in recovery, sadly enough my phone won't reboot, does not charge nor does it respond to my desperate pushes on the power button. Anyone experienced anything like this?
Worth mentioning also is that the battery was 80+% charged.. So it would seem strange to me that this would anything to do with eventual dead battery.
Just to be clear: hadn't installed anything, nothing less, nothing more.
If I could just get acces to bootloader through usb or anything like this.
I fear that there is someting seriously wrong here?
What are you guys thinking? Any possible solutions?

Hi,
The same thing more or less happened to me.
My phone went dead one night and wouldnt turn on, charge or connect with the PC. I had already arranged a repair with HTC for another issue and so I sent it off to them and a few days later I now have it back and it is working fine so far.
They replaced the mainboard and a few other bits and pieces all under warranty.
I hope you get your phone fixed and sorted asap.

Did you root it or anything like that? It really seems like an hardware issue.. Thanks for your reply also btw.

Hi,
Is there any chance the battery pins could be damaged or bent?
Is there any way for you to get hold of another battery(from a shop or friend) and try that?

I will test the battery in the laboratory tomorrow.. I've read you should get a minimum of 3.6V or something like that? Curious to see what has caused this problem. Do you think htc would see I flashed a custom rom on it if I send it to repair?

Hi,
That is why i suggest a different battery.
If they can switch it on,they will see the s-off.
If they cannot,it does not matter.

They don't use a JTAG unit or anything like that to see what has went wrong than I presume? Well, first thing I'll do is test it right away at the laboratory. I will post the result in the evening.

My sensation was rooted and had a custom ROM on, but I was preparing to send the phone back in when it got bricked. I had managed to install stock rom and do S-on but the phone had an unlocked bootloader using HTC dev website, so I was worried they wouldnt do the repair.
As it happens they did all the work under warranty and didnt say/ mention having unlocked bootloader. It has come back locked though.

Was anybody able to find a fix for this?
My sensation 4g has basically the same problem. After rooting and installing ICS it worked fine for a few days then it ceased booting or responding to a charger (no LED response). I was able to turn on the phone again by letting it sit for a while but no luck lately. I'm wondering if my phone is bricked?
When I press the power button the screen stays black with lights on (no LED).
I can't get into bootloader and the phone is not detected by ADB, I tried the unbricking project thread by Dexter, however my phone is not detected by linux. On windows, i did get it to detect as qhsusb_dload.
Any thoughts would be helpful!
Thanks

If your getting QHSUSB DLOAD I'm so sorry to tell you as I believe your device is HARD BRICKED. You can try jtag. If you search there are several companies who will jtag. I'm wishing you the best and I'm sorry about your device.

I had to return my HTC Sensation to the repair center. Apparently the motherboard just fried. I got a new motherboard and just S-OFFed the phone again. Very weird problem though. As has been said in this post earlier, if they can't turn on the device they won't see it is S-OFFed and your warranty will apply.

Samsung Infuse Bootloop?

A have a link to a video that I would appreciate you to check out. My Samsung Infuse 4g shut off randomly during use and constantly reboots itself. The rest is explained in the video's description.
*i can't link because I'm a new user.. However.. The phone shuts off and pulls up the Samsung screen, i have flashed a custom CM9 ROM onto it, however it ran fine until it just randomly shut off.. I don't know why it did it. But now I can't get it into Download Mode or into it's Clockwork Recovery.. I'm not sure if it is bricked or if there is any way I can fix it.. The video is titled "Samsung Infuse 4g AT&T (Please Help)" it will either be under Brandon Meadors or androiduser360. Please and thank you for help.
Thank you so much for any help you can give.

Hi M8! Yesterday i posted a thread about the very same situation, i have two motherboards with that same issue. My guess i that youre not used to flash cell phones, so my guess is also that it means that you dont have develop good soldering skills. Theres a development made by a guy named Adam Outler in here called Unbrickable Mod. He is very highly skill developer. I have the same issue you have right now with a couple motherboards i have. And im going to apply that mod today to see if i can restore my cell phone back. If it works ill let you know, so that maybe you can find a way to do it. If thats the case, i suggest you to read, read, and keep reading lol... Theres a lot to learn about when we deal with situations like that. Ive never deal with something like that, but ive done UnbrickableMod many times already. So ill let you know

Well you can always use a usb jig if you want it will boot your phone into download mode then flash to stock.
Heres a good link on how to make one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1604707

Yeah its a good idea Ty113096, the problem is that the JIG doesnt work either. When you insert the JIG the phone will get to download mode ok, but then a couple seconds later it will reboot and the bootloop goes on and on. Oh! By the way UnbrickableMod didnt solve it! The phone will do pretty much the same when the resurrector is applied. Very strange situation but such is life i guess...

Thank you guys so much for the help.. So.. Is this unfixable?

If you can get into recovery (pull battery, up/down volume depressed, connect usb and install battery)...these are some posts that I've found helpful. If it works, hit qksters and jscotts thanks.

P.S. qksters is stickied right at the top of this q&a forum. Section A would probably apply to you.

Take out the battery and place it back. Does it automatically turn on?
If it does then your problem is the power button.

I'm agree with andros11 your power button is broken

You saved the day, i took the phone apart like 3 times trying to figure it out. thank you.
(what fixed it for me was i removed the housing and took out the plastic/rubber button cover, then put battery back in phone -and for the first time it didnt power up on it's own!!! clicked the little white button-node with pry tool and it started like normal) so simple...

[Q] Z710E Not booting after shutdown

Hey Guys,
I'd like to request some help regarding to my cellphone.
The cellphone is A 2 year old Htc sensation.
Did always do his job fine, never any problems, always had a spare battery so I could change battery's when the first one was dead.
The phone is Rooted, custom rom with ViperS 5.1.0. S-off.
So I was playing a game, and, a well known problem is that the sensation shuts down at whatever 5% sometimes, so that happened, the phone shut down.
I then put it on the charger, the light went on for a couple of seconds, and went out.
Since then I didn't see any sign of life on my sensation again.
I tried booting it with the spare battery, fully charged in a external charger.
I tried letting it charge overnight, maybe it would work again.
I tried putting it in to the bootloader.
I tried connecting to the pc, but that one doesn't recognize anything aswell.
Since it's +2 years old, I don't have any warranty anymore.
Does anybody know a solution or something? Or did anyone else experience this as well?
Or is the phone completely dead?
I'd like to hear from you guys!
- Cheers

Try doing the wire trick you do to s-off the phone, it helped me boot mine. Make sure you do it while it's connected via USB.

Hi!
Thanks for the answer.
It doesn't work for me I guess.
What did you do exactly, can you describe it?
Do I have to run the juponutbeer aswell?
Hope to hear from you & others

I removed the battery, connected USB, reinserted it, jammed the wire in there a couple of times until it came back to life. Took quite a few tries but that may be my shoddy wire rather then the method. No need for the juopunotbeer software to run.

You had an SD card in it aswell i assume?
But did your PC recognize the phone when you connected it?
Mine does nothing, tried a few times now
EDIT: He just did: Searching for Drivers.
Drivers not installed
But I disconnected it again, maybe if it will connect again I can do something else?

That means it's probably in QHUSB mode. You can retry the wire trick a couple more times to see if it comes out, if it doesn't, there's a unbricking tool in the development forum here somewhere to get it out of there.

Hi!
It makes that windows sound when you connect a USB drive or something else, but it doesn't show up in the Device Manager from windows.
Will the brick thing still work, even if it doesn't show up in windows device manager?
I saw some movies on youtube where you saw: QHUSB_DOWNLOAD unknown device or something, but that doesn't show for me...
Hope to hear from you or someone else

Allright, we Continue.
I have it in QHSUSB_DLOAD now @ windows, after trying the wire trick a couple of times.
I tried it at linux aswell, but how am I able to recognize when it connects?
Windows makes a sound, but ubuntu??
How to hear some solutions from what to do now, and how to get it connected in ubuntu
