Help!

I need real help guys.
Last night i change my desire s to s-off and rooted it. I then decided to stop the processing and went to unroot it, by loading a stock rom back onto the phone.
Everything seemed to go fine, i switched the phone back on and everything looked fine although the superuser was still on the phone.
The phone then sporadically started turning on and off and when i tried to enter a few menus i was greeted by android.process.media has had to stop etc and there was another one.
At 6am this morning the phone started vibrating and froze so i turned it off, ive now tried to turn it back on to change it back to normal, but the phone now wont turn on.
I cant get a charge LED and when plugged into the laptop it makes a funny jingle from the laptop and not the duh duh that you would normally get when plugging a usb device in the laptop.

Hey did you tried adb .. does it shows your device..
Check it, search forum for adb setup..
then
open cmd
adb devices - to see if adb recognizes your device
adb bootloader - to get into boot loader menu
if you successfully get into boot menu try flashing once again RUU(check in DS Delvelopment section)
else you are S-ON , i guess after flashing Stock ROM..So better to give in customer service center

I can't understand and get the adb to work

Remove the battery. Wait about 30 seconds and put it back in. Then press and hold the "Volume down" button. Press the "Power" button wait a little and let go. Do not let go the "Volume down"! If it works the phone will boot to the Bootloader. Then check the version (it has to something like 6.98.1002) and post it here. After that try to select Recovery from the menu. Then we will see what will come next

If it makes a sound on connection to the PC you can try to start a RUU but most probably it will not work...
So you next step is the repair center then

As far as I know the reapair is about 1/3 of the phone price. But you can skip the "custom software flashing" part and say only this:

If you are a good liar they will repair it under warranty
Since it is completely dead and probably the technicians will not bother to analyze the problem, most probably they will replace the motherboard (eMMC). Good luck...

I have now sorted the adb problem out and install the drivers onto the laptop (no more jingle)
How do i try your first suggestion?

ok. open cmd (command prompt) and type:
Code:
adb devices
if it connects the output sholud look someting like this:
HAJ45345L35H device
you can try the same with
Code:
fastboot devices
and look for the same output
btw is your device branded?

Yes was 3 branded

There is a guide in my signature. It is quite easy. Try it.
If you have flashed a non branded RUU to your branded phone there is nothing you can do even if you manage to connect it to the PC. It will be completely messed up. No offense but since you have difficulties with an adb setup all the advanced methods will be very hard for you. So my suggestion is to go for a repair (if you have warranty) and try with the story that is just stopped working...
But of course it is up to you to decide

Look again like another valiant effort, although does sound like your dealing with a brick this time, as you've already pointed out there are benefits here in that the service centre should take device under warranty and either replace or put in new motherboard. No questions asked...but as long as no daft answers are given

HTC One S shuts down and won't turn on, no charging led.

Hi,
yesterday I pulled my One S out of my pocket, opened up the browser, made a search on google and all of a sudden, while the page was loading the screen turned off, completely black. The capacitive buttons stayed awake for 4-5 seconds, then they turned off too.
Completely dead, the phone won't turn on anymore, not even in recovery mode. If I connect the wall charger the charging led doesn't light up, although I can feel the phone is heating (as usually happens when charging).
I've tried connecting it to the pc via usb and windows after a while, detects a peripheral named "qhsusb_dload". I've read on google that this isn't any good... Anyway, even connected to the pc (for hours) the charging led doesn't light up.
No signs of life from my One S... :crying:
The phone is completely stock, unrooted.
Do someone have any hints?
Thanks.

I believe you're in download mode.
Hold the power button until your button leds start flashing and then keep holding it until they stop again. Now let go. If they don't start flashing within (say) 20 seconds, you can also let go. Hold the vol-down button and press&release the power button. Hopefully this boots you into bootloader mode. If not I don't nkow what else to suggest other than look at the unbricking thread in the development forum.

There's no way I can enter bootloader. The phone shows no signs of life (no capacitive buttons, no charging led, nothing at all)...
One thing that maybe is important: for about a month, I've been experiencing a strange battery drain. The drain used to occur even if the phone was in deep sleep (I'm sure about this because I've checked with cpuspy and anyway I hadn't installed any new apps for quite a while), at a rate of 7-8% each hour. I could leave the phone on the desk with screen off and in standby (no 3g data, no wifi, not even cellular network) and the drain was still there.
By the way, when my phone died I had plenty of battery left, about 70%.

If it's unrooted then your warranty is still 100% intact and HTC will replace your phone no problem. What you describe just happens sometimes, more so with this phone then others I've seen.
The qhsusb_dload means it's not worth tinkering with yourself if you can just submit it for warranty.

I see, thanks. Is this qhsusb-dload issue hardware-related? If so, is it possible that they swap my S4 chip with an S3?

Think of qhsusb-dload kinda like your normal PC without windows. Your phone could not find an operating system to boot into and defaulted to qhsusb-dload mode waiting for a command. Our problem is that we don't really know the commands for qhsusb-dload nor do we have the files needed to use it only the manufactures do.
They can't swap a s4 chip for a S3 version that isn't the same product.

Most likely it the micro USB charging port that's gone toast.. happened to mine exact same symptoms. I was actually unlocked, HTC dev unlocked too, running a custom ROM as well as custom recovery and splash screen. I still sent it in repair with hope of they will never be able to turn the damn thing on to discover my deeds and will replace my phone but they didn't mind, they reflashed stock rom after repair and sent it back but I was still s-off
Send it into repair mate. Best option instead of tinkering with it lol

Ok, thanks everybody.
I'm going to try usaff22's method and if that doesn't work I'll send the phone in.
I'll let you know! :fingers-crossed:

It didn't work. The terminal waits for the device, however it doesn't respond...
I'll have to send the phone in.

Crazy idea but that sounds like the mode you go into for the downgrade so maybe the last part of it might help to get you up and running again.

I've read that thread: do you mean I should try the 9th point?
you can open a new terminal window and run the following command IF AND ONLY IF the phone doesn't reset out of QDL mode

No that for flashing Hboot think you want step 12 but will need to edit the file the download has but you will need to do step 3 so you can do step 12. I have no idea if it will work but its an idea and also might be best to ask about it there too before doing anything.

thanks a lot touch of jobo i was going to get crazy :laugh:

I am not very deep into this stuff, but had the same issue today. Luckely I was able to enter the bootloader by pressing Vol- and Power on at the same time. Maybe this will help - I hope so. Failing that, just wait a little longer, this community is always here to help and very clever!
Best wishes

You should go to the bootloader (as mentioned above) and relock it, And then install the proper RUU from here:
ht tp ://w ww. androidruu. com/?developer=Ville (S4 version, bootloader says VLE)
ht tp ://w ww. androidruu. com/?developer=VilleC2 (S3 version, bootloader says VILLEC2)
(remove spaces from the link)

So, my friend told me the phone could be charged. And so does that mean, he can go to the bootloader and ressurect it?

Yes

I guys, just to be sure if all these steps are correct.
1. See if the phone can got to Bootloader
2. Plug in the phone to the computer
3. Download the compatible RUU
4. Relock it.
But idk how to do the fourth step. I'm using Ubuntu so drivers aren't rly required. And i heard there's 2 types of One S. The C2, no how to check whether i have either the C2 or the standard One S?
Really really appreciate if you can answer all this

1- To lock your phone you should enter bootloader, select fastboot, then connect the device to a computer. Now you should see "fastboot usb" white text on red background. Open a terminal and type
Code:
sudo fastboot oem lock
That's all(I assume you know what to do next)
2- if you could enter bootloader and see VLE after TAMPERED and UNLOCKED tags it's s4 variant and if you see VILLEC2, it's s3(c2) variant

OKay guys so i got my hands on the Bricked One S.. First things first, when i got it, i think some mad guys at the repair shop removed the screws on the One S and taking the top cap off kinda bend the Blue plate or whatever. Anyways, when i plugged the device to charge, theres the LED Notification lit up, then about 2 secs, it doesn't anymore. So while charging, i tried going to the bootloader, Power Button + Vol Down same time. Then suddenly, the One S's screen had a white flash on a certain part of the screen either top or bottom then it disappeared somewhat like lightining. After that flash assuming its going to turn on, i let go of the Power Button but the Vol Down. The LED Notification light was lit too but like the situtation when charging, it went off. So i can't go to Bootloader or Fastboot, but is there any way possible to ressurect this phone? Or maybe the screws were affecting the Main PCB or smth? HELP PLS. Counting on you guys

Yeah guys this is a problem of death batt or empty one. Let it to charge for a few hours and then try again, if still the issue persist then (even is littlebit difficult) try to test it with a good batt. If it goes to bootloader consider replacing with a new batt.

I have the same problem even after charging for few days, it is hard bricked, but everytime i do the vol down + power I see a greenish white flicker either at the top, middle or bottom, so looks like it may be salvageable but just not sure if there is a cheat method.any updates pls do post.

Yup. I'm having the same issue here. And it wierd because if you try charging to the wall charger for a day the LED will have the orange light and this time if you were to try the button combination the white flash that we use to see initially stops happening. An one the orange light dissapear the button combination will start back. But the phone is still bricked or Dead.
How can we make the phone respond to the computer or even get any response itself?
Without having responding is there any way to fix this?

Sadly, i sort of sent my One S to a repair shop cos of that problem. Im getting it back soon cos another guy told me to adb reboot-bootloader. Now the saddiest thing is that my computer is running Linux with adb but it doesnt detect any device i plugged.

Nexus 5 wont boot

Last night, my nexus 5 suddenly rebooted itself. When it restarted it was in a boot loop. but not a boot loop that i can get out of.
It just keeps going round and round almost as if the power button is stuck. however the power button is not stuck.
i cant get into recovery to clear the cache as when i boot into the bootloader it just automatically restarts again, i can move one option up or down and that is to shut down or reboot into bootloader, but not the second move that would take me to recovery.
i have now taken the back off, and unplugged the battery in the vain hope that it clears through whatever is causing the issue but im not convinced it will make any difference.
Please advise. i'm completely housebound and cannot walk due to having a knee operation, and completely dependent on my mobile if i have an emergency.
i've tried Kwoggers out of the box fix from his 2.1.2 toolkit but this didnt work as the phone wont stay in one place long enough for it to get a fix.

If it reboots, even in bootloader, then it's either a broken power button or a broken motherboard.

Not exactly sure, it's happened to a couple of people. Another reason could be a defective battery. What happens if you plug in the charger and attempt to boot?

the reason i dont think its the power button is it just stops doing it and just switches off.
when its plugged in it just reboots around the white google logo, constantly. without being plugged in it goes to the 4 balls and reoots

[Q] TF300t stuck on asus screen. No ADB, no fastboot, no recovery, n

Hi Everyone,
I know there have been a few posts regarding the issue I'm asking about on this forum earlier but I do not see any real resolution yet.
The status of my TF300 currently is that it is constantly stuck on the Asus logo screen. The next screen of RCK, Android & Wipe option does not appear even if I try to do the Power+Volume combo. Hard Reset through that small pin-hole opening does not yield any result either. The tablet restarts and gets stuck exactly at the same Asus logo stage. :crying:
Worse, my PC does not even seem to recognize the device when connected through USB. Any idea what can be done to resolve this?
Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

Nothing really happened before this stage. I successfully unlocked it as it showed that (and still shows) on the top left corner but I could never really get to the next stage to do anything. It just started getting stuck on that screen the moment I tried to reboot and get it to the options screen. Been stuck ever since.

Power off by letting the battery go dead. Maybe that clears some residual memory. Else it doesn't look good.

Thanks Berend
I did power off a couple of times by draining the battery completely but no luck. I guess it's time to lose hope now - unless anyone else has any suggestion. I see this as a problem with a lot of users but every suggested fix is overlooking the fact that we can't access the 2nd screen of options.
