HTC Sensation 4G, Virgin Mobile bricked device - HTC Sensation

So the issue with the device is well. It doesn't turn on, it doesn't respond to anything at all. Plugging in the USB offers no reaction from the computer and it's not being seen. To me it looks completely and utterly bricked but I refuse to accept defeat just yet. I downloaded QPST but I have no idea in how to properly use it, if this phone can be recovered it would be a life saver! Does anyone know a solution?
Additionally. This was done due to someone flashing the LiteROM for Samsung devices. It completely formatted the system, leaving nothing before installing the Samsung data.

Hi,

Unless you have a JTAG debugger handy you've pretty much had it pal, if it won't turn on and won't vibrate then it sounds dead

[Q] Hard Bricked my completely stock skyrocket.

Hello. yes this is my first post, however I have searched on the forums and on google, but have not found an answer.
I have a completely stock skyrocket (i727 on ATT) that I have been charging on a non-Samsung cable. The battery died (as it has many times recently) except this time I wasn't able to turn it on. it is unresponsive to any button combo I try for any period of time.
However, it is recognized in Device Manager on my 64-bit Windows 7. I downloaded the qhsusb_dload drivers from this site and installed them, however that hasn't had any effect to my knowledge. When I hold the power button while it is plugged into my computer, my computer makes the "device connected" noise. So I know the phone is operational, it just won't turn on, nor will any sort of "charging" graphic come up when it is charging.
I saw that this is a common problem, however it seemed that everyone who hard bricked their skyrocket was trying to flash other ROMs... whereas I have a stock skyrocket. So I'm not sure why the battery dying affected it thusly.
Please help! I apologize if there is an answer already somewhere else; I wasn't able to find it.
EDIT: I saw this service:
[youtube] DOT com/watch ? v= AkJQAbwZjRk
is offered, and it seemingly will unbrick it without wiping any data... so I'm not sure if I want to do that, when I can have it repaired for free by Samsung. (the only catch is they will wipe EVERYTHING-- like an idiot, I've NEVER backed it up.)
Want to know the easiest way to make sure all questions are asked in General? Have a separate Q&A forum.
Are you sure your battery's fully charged? If so, are you sure your screen's not dead? If you haven't modded it at all, it might not be worth your time to fix it. Warranty it out.

:facepalm:
If a mod could move this that would be fantastic.... >.<
Yes, because it won't actually register in Kies, and the buttons don't light up, nor does the phone make the turning on noise or vibrate.
First off, are you sure it's not just a dead battery? Second, have you tried putting it into download mode to see what happens?
Honestly, I'd just warranty it out if you can't get the screen to come up in download mode. It's probably hardware.

I'm not exactly clear on what download mode is... However I tried it with another battery, and since my computer reacts to my hitting the power button when they're connected, I don't think that's the issue.
I think that that is what I'll end up having to do... I just really hate to lose all my data.... :'(

qhsusb_dload, you have a bricked SR. Jtag is the only solution.

Yeah maybe try another battery. If you havent done anything like flashing or rooting its not bricked. Warranty that shiz

Dl mode. Plug usb cable into computer but not phone. Remove and replace battery. Press and hold both volume up /down buttons. Now plug usb cable into the phone. Continue to hold buttons in until you see the screen come on in dl mode.

Hey there,
I have read these forums for a while but this is my first reply.
I am having the exact same problem as the original poster. I was browsing the internet at night while plugged in and the phone started becoming sluggish. It soon turned off and the battery charging screen turned on and showed I had ~50% battery, i pushed the power button and got the rogers splashscreen but then it would go back to the battery charging screen again. I did that cycle a few times before forgetting about it and going to bed. The next morning my phone was not responsive to the power button and the screen has been black ever since.
I have tried taking out the battery, removing the case and unplugging/replugging the light blue cable that runs along the side of the case and I borrowed a friend's battery who also has the same phone and carrier as me and it still would not work.
My phone is stock everything, i usually charge with a non-samsung power adapter/cord. I am with Rogers using the Galaxy S2 LTE phone and unfortunately out of warranty by 1 month. When plugged into the computer, Windows makes a sound as if something is connected and holding down the power button makes that sound happen about 1-2 times per second. Device manager shows an unknown USB device and unknown communications device. Kies however does not show a device connected when plugged into the computer.
I believe the OP sent theirs back to get fixed by AT&T however in my case it would involve extending my contract with Rogers by 1 year in addition to an unknow repair fee which is something I would not like to do if possible. I also unfortunately did not back up my files/photos and would prefer not to have them deleted but would be okay with having them wiped if necessary.
Any advice on the best course of action when the phone is not under warranty would be great.
You can try jtag, but you might have a different problem than it can fix. Check out mobiletechvideos.

Perhaps if he had AT&T it would be the best option, but having Rogers makes it difficult. Before you slap the hand, read the post.

Smittie was referring to the second poster.
Have either of you tried using the cable that shipped with your phones? Plug those puppies in to the phone, and the WALL SOCKET, give em about 12 hours and I'm close to willing to betcha that you will have a live device once again. Some times plugging into the computer shows charging, but does not provide enough voltage to actually charge but maintain the battery level.
It just sounds to me more like the devices are being under powered at the moment. Even though your computers may "see" the devices, they may even show they are charged or charging, resetting the battery stats could show more detail. I would however at this time also recommend to not use the ADB, or ever EVER rely on Kies.

[Q] About to buy a bricked Xoom, anything I should know?

As the title says.
Thinking of getting this device on the cheap. I have a Moto factory cable that i've used to flash stock firmware onto a couple different devices.
Would that same cable work on this device to get it into fastboot?
Are there any cases of completely hard bricked devices?
Also, if any of you experts know some questions i might want to ask the guy, I'm all ears! Thanks!

You can use the moto factory cable on the xoom but that just gives it power to fastboot.
You can have a xoom be hard bricked. If you plug it in and it shows up as a APX device it is hard bricked. (i own one that's sits in the drawer for spare parts for it's replacement) The charge light will still come on.
What type of xoom is it a (wifi 3g/4g family edition)
You should ask what caused it to brick?
was he rooted?
If you buy it post here and I can give a one click restore for it. AI have it for most versions of the xoom.
Be Sure...
Before you buy it I would recommend getting as much information as possible from the seller as this device may be beyond repair. If the device can still be recognized in fast boot then you should be fine.
if it is a 3g/4g xoom you might want to get the esn/meid number and check with verizon if it is clean.
If the bootloader is damaged it is of no use other than spare parts. You must at the very least be able to get to fast boot. If it is not recognised when plugged into the USB there is nothing to be done without serious hardware hacking.
I have one just like that in a box. It is rare, but it happens. It will not even flicker when powered up - nothing.

This morning while loading a webpage (20% of battery life left) my MZ601 just froze, didn't respond to any screen or button presses, slowly went to sleep and has resisted all attempts to start since then. Even hooked up to the charger for the last hour, it still doesn't respond no matter what buttons I press, completely blank, no lights, nada...
I'm guessing it's a dead parrot, has anyone else had a similar Xoom death?
EDIT: Just found a more appropriate thread, ignore...

Q: dead or still alive?

Hi all experts.
I have one inquiry about my Samsung galaxy S II lte (SGH-1727) Issue.
at the beginning I read too much here but I couldn't find any answer for my phone problem.
the problem happened yesterday, when I was using my phone as usual then suddenly restarted, this issue happen many times before and its ok for me, it tried to restart but suddenly stopped( black screen), I removed the battery then I tried to restart it again, I felt the vibrating start, then stopped, without any respond at all till now, I tried many times to remove the battery and restart it but without any respond, I connected it by using the usb cable, but nothing, ( no vibration, no battery charging) the only thing is my computer can`t recognize the hardware.
I tried to do hard reset or anything, but without any respond.
Kindly, I want to know weather if this phone is totally spoiled or there is something I can do for it to make it usable again, I have a good knowledge about WM5,6,6.1,6.5. but a little bit about android.
thanks

I have been read the button problems for sure, but I think it is not related to the button, there is no respond at all, even not charging, usually if I use the charger, it should start charging, correct me if I`m wrong.
the battery was full and working fine, I tried to clean the connectors too, nothing changed.

could be a bad cable, bad battery, bad phone port, or hw failure.
id keep trying to revive it by either changing cable/charger and/or battery and keeping it plugged in for a long time, if all else fails then it probably a bad mobo or memory, happened to my sons s2 where his was getting hot while recharging and his phone died, no response of any kind, under warranty i think they replaced his mobo

if battery is removed and phone is plugged in it should vibrate, mine does, seems as if yours does not have any life so mobo would be my first guess.
and yes battery could just up and die, but would give some symptoms b4 hand

Trullty Dead?
so i have spent lots of time looking for this issue with my Hercules. i had beeb trying some roms and i think i bricked it, bad,
so odin can see it (gets a yellow) but;
i can not power on the device, get it into recovery OR download mode,
my pc cant get to the information on the phone (i have tried with SD in/ out SIM in /out)
the pc makes the noise when i cycle thru power, but the screen shows nothing,
i have installed Kies but it dosent see the device,
there hasnt been a good post that comfirms that my phone is now a paper weight,
but there has to be a way other than spending $40 to have it repaired (not including shipping)
USB JIG looks interesting but i cant see how that will help in this case...
to be honest this is my first time at ROMing around with a Galaxy,
previously i had an Gooapple 3G and was able to ROM around quite abit no issues with a bad brick like this i was able to save it before
but if anyone has any ideas or can confirm its a hardbrick let me know i only have a few hours between jobs to fix it and cant at night gf takes laptop to night shifts.
thanks for your time reading over if you have questions about anything please ask, i payed for the phone outright to put on Rogers so there is no warrenty anymore and Rogers wont cover repair.

Oh thanks, I just noticed your comment because I thought there is no chance to get my phone alive again, I think I should try this, I have one question regarding the usb jig, is there a specific JIG for every samsung galaxy model? or it is all the same for the micro USB Samsung galaxy phones? and in this case, what is the indication that will make the device run again, is there a special software to install? or after plug this JIG I can be in the bootloader? and is there any possibility to get some of my data or contacts again? thanks for your respond regarding my phone issue.
Jigs don't with on this device. Don't waste your time.
You need to try to odin the stock firmware.

This is incorrect. Jigs do in fact work. However most of the time you will be able to enter download mode without one.
I have had my skyrocket completely unresponsive to any input/button combinations. I tried my homemade jig and was able to recover via Odin. Without the jig my skyrocket would not have been repaired.

hi toyes
just a question regarding your experience regarding this issue, do you mean it was totally unresponsive? not even yellow sign? not even vibrate by connecting the USB cable? and regarding USB JIG, is it the same with 301k resistance? or there is some modifications?

Basically I had zero response from the phone. Was playing around with the jig and buttons, put the phone down with the jig in it. Looked back 5 mins later and it was in download mode.
I do think there is something different with my device though. Ever since I got it back from JTAG it has never wanted to reboot. Selecting reboot just shuts the phone down. Every once in awhile it reboots from recovery ok, but that is about 1 in every 10 attempts. When it doesn't reboot I need to long-press the power for about 30s - 1m to get it to fire back up. I am thinking it is some type of hardware issue but not too concerned because at this point it is still 'working'.

[Completed] Fried board galaxy s3 - data recovery possible?

Hi there.
I have a friend that had a galaxy s3 mini till a few days ago when supposedly the board got fried up from an official OS update. His phone was never rooted.. and minding one or two scratches.. it was a "virgin" phone.
He said that one day he had his phone turned off and when he turned it on, it displayed the message that it was updating but then a few % in, it completely shut down and since then he was never able to turn it on again. He tried charging the battery, switching battery, pressing those combinations of buttons to get into download and recovery mode and nothing.
He went to a unofficial store and also to a samsung store and both believed it was the board that fried up. Even though the guys from samsung never admitted, the guy from that unofficial store said it wasn't the first samsung he was getting that week with the same problem after that latest update. He really believed it was the update that fried it. Oh well.. if it's true or not, we don't know. Either way, since they didn't take responsibility and wasn't a way to really know if it was samsung's fault or just a somewhat old phone problem.. my friend got the s7 (yeah.. samsung got money for this xD..) and we were wondering if there is anyway he can recover at least some of the internal data of the dead phone? It doesn't turn on at all.. so don't know if that's possible. Can someone please clarify me that?
Google shows a lot of results about data recovery but the tools used for that are fishy imo and say that they are used to recover data from dead phones but require the phone to be in recovery or download mode which is even fishier right? I mean.. if it's dead.. xD
Any help on this would be very much appreciated!
Hi !
A device which can`t be powered on it is a dead device , the local storage can`t be accessible so its data can`t be recovered
Cheers !
Oh.. those are indeed sad news. But oh well..
Thank you for replying!!

Black screened Pixel 3.

Hi - wondered if anyone can help.
As above ive got a blackscreened phone - ive got cart blanche with this phone...(its a workmates phone, hes bought a new one) so i can do anything i want (if anyones got any drastic options im up for that!). Apparently the history is that the phone was behaving as if the battery was faulty to the point it died. Ive replaced the battery but the phone is still dead. Plugging the phone in the laptop i see the bulk usb driver popping up. Some time ago i did recover a oneplus phone in the same state using a gui tool that reloaded the image back on loading on the separate images one by one....can something like that be done for this.
Cheers to anyone that has a go!
