Bricked my phone - HTC One S

Well, it was only a matter of time but while trying to fix my phone, it decided to brick itself. I was installing a RUU, and then it rebooted to bootloader but instead of loading that up, it just died. Completely. Doesn't charge, doesn't power on, no LED whatsoever. This was last night. However, this afternoon it randomly entered QHSUSB_DLOAD mode when I plugged it into USB, or I assume so anyway - as my PC installed drivers for "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COM3)".
I downloaded an Ubuntu live DVD to try some unbrick methods, but while doing so I pressed the power button on my phone, now it's become undetectable again. Plugging into USB doesn't detect anything on my PC.
My question is, does anyone know how to get the phone back in QHSUSB_DLOAD mode?

Assume you ate referring to this method:

Dumb question but I assume you tried repressing the button again?
This method worked for me and I think we've had the same brick experience

I'm trying that method as we speak. I figured out how to get it back on QDL mode by pressing all three buttons a few times for a few seconds and it pops up. However, when I type the "ls /dev/sd*" command, I get this:
Code:
[email protected]:/dev$ ls /dev/sd*
ls: cannot access /dev/sd*: No such file or directory
Even though my device comes up as expected for that procedure:
Code:
Bus 002 Device 007: ID 05c6:9008 Qualcomm, Inc. Gobi Wireless Modem (QDL mode)
Just wondering - in this step:
Now, hold power down on your phone for about 10 seconds*,OR until you see (QDL mode) disappear and let go, Then go to your second window and repeatedly run the following command
Click to expand...

Should only the "QLD mode" part disappear or should the entire device disappear? Because when I press power for ~10 seconds, the entire device vanishes.

Yes it all sounds OK, but you start off with the QUSB message hold power down till it disappears (about 10 secs for me) then do the list command.
Should work

Basically when I press power, the entire device disappears. And when I do ls /dev/sd* I still get the same error, there's nothing found.

How long do you need to press the power button before it disappears? Disappearing when it is pressed for about 10 secs is normal... less idk..

Help I think I've bricked!

I had been running cognition 2.2 beta1, put phone into download mode using vol up vol down and put in usb cord and flashed back to stock. Then I flashed Shep211's JPM\JI6 ROM via rom manager. Reflashed a JI6 kernel, then tried to use rom manager to flash to cognition 2.2 beta7. The update failed and now I only get the phone exclamation computer screen and I cannot get my phone back into download mode! I have tried almost every combination of vol up vol down power and usb I can think of to no avail. Can anyone at XDA help before I return the phone to ATT?
Any help is greatly appreciated!!
Pull battery. Just keep trying to get into dl mode. That's all I think you can do.

through ADB you mean?
I just get error - device not found whenever I try and run any adb command.
Yes, I had to do the "adb reboot download" with the SDK running.

can you be more specific? I can't get adb to recognize this phone in its current state.
1- Pull battery and USB cable out..
2- Press Vol Up while you connect your phone to the USB
3- Insert battery, and keep pressing Vol Up!!!
or
1- Pull battery and USB cable out..
2- Press Vol Down while you connect your phone to the USB
3- Insert battery, and keep pressing Vol Down!!!
or
1- Pull battery and USB cable out..
2- Press Vol Up while you connect your phone to the USB
3- Insert battery and, keep presing Vol Up, press the Power button..
Keep pressing Vol keys means that you must keep pressing the buttons until you get the Download Mode Screen.. And keep trying.. Sometimes it take some time to work..
What I did was download and install the SDK in the C:\Android directory
Then open a windows command prompt and navigate to the "Tools" directory
Then just run the adb command.
Not sure what to tell you if the phone isn't recognized, I'm pretty new at this myself. I'd start hitting Google.
Good luck.

I've tried all of the suggestions in this thread already, I have somehow managed to completely brick this thing. Thanks for all of your help!
If you were going to Cog 2.2.7, why wouldn't you just have wiped, flashed to stock, rooted and then flashed with Clockwork Recovery?
Anyway, good luck.
-Did you try to start pressing the Vol button AFTER you plug the USB cable? And before you plug it?
-Did you try another USB port or another PC?
Here is the Fix
I was in this same situation last week. Here is how to get it back into download mode.
•Be sure the Samsung USB drivers for the phone are installed on your computer.
•Remove and replace the battery.
•Connect the phone to the computer with the USB cable. The "phone-exclamation mark-computer" picture should display on the phone's screen.
•Hold the Volume Up+Volume Down+Power buttons down simultaneously.The screen should go blank, then the picture should appear again. When the screen goes blank a second time, release the Power button while continuing to hold the Volume Up+Volume Down buttons down

This is the only method that consistently works for me. I use the exact same method. The key is whatever picture (att, battery charge, etc....) comes up the second time and then goes blank, then release the power button.

Nexus S boot problem

Here's the problem..my Nexus S power button isn't working, so I was using other hardware keys to shut down, turn on and such. Now I got into a problem. I installed chainfire3d drivers and now the phone won't boot and since my power button is broken, I can't access recovery. I can get into fastboot but the volume up/volume down buttons won't work so I can't select the option "RECOVERY" plus my PC doesn't recognize that my phone is in fastboot (I'm using Windows 8, 64bit.)
Can someone help me with this, if it's possible? How do I get into recovery?
Thank you in advance.

There might be several solutions to your problem. According to what youve written it seems that the powerbutton is stuck in the "ON" position, right? Meaning that the phone turns on when you insert the battery. It would also mean that in bootloader you cant select anything because the powerbutton is "pressed". Sadly if this is the case, having properly working drivers wouldnt help since phone wont be detected until the powerbutton is in the "OFF" position.
Case 1: powerbutton in "ON" position
Solution 1: Send your phone to repair. Sadly you will have to pay for that since your warranty is void (unlocking the bootloader voids the warranty as far as i know". Having the button unstuck would allow you to choose recovery with volume buttons and accept with power.
Solution 2: Since your warranty is void, do it yourself. NS disassembly is quite easy and theres nothing to be afraid of. In this case theres just some dust so once you také it appart and clean the powerbutton it should work again. Having the button unstuck would allow you to choose recovery with volume buttons and accept with power.
Case 2: powerbutton in "OFF" position
There are plenty of tutorials around here on getting drivers to work. General advice would be reinstall the drivers, try different ports, try to do it from other computer.
Hope this helps, good luck

Hey, thanks for the help, much appreciated. I'll try to open the case and clean the power button if possible and see if it's gonna work then.
On the other note, after 3 hours of searching I finally found the right solution. When on the Google screen, Windows recognized the phone as "Nexus". I clicked on it in device manager and installed Android ADB interface driver (which I downloaded via SDK manager). Windows then recognized the device in cmd via adb and I could reboot into recovery with the command "adb reboot recovery".
What a relief! :victory:

Well I'm just..brilliant to say the least. After I fixed everything I tried to install the Chainfire3D driver again, this time with no EGL and well, same thing happened, no boot. Stuck on Google screen, just that this time, Windows recognizes the device as "google file-cd gadget usb device" not as "Nexus" or "ADB interface". Damn it...

I can get into the fastboot menu, but I can't use the volume up/down buttons and I don't think that my computer recognizes the device in fastboot at all, because of the broken power button. If you could help me somehow, then I would really be in your debt.

Chainfire isn't compatible with Jellybean. Seriously.

Make sure your phone is connected to your PC. Then hold VOL down and press power if I recall correctly. It might be both volume keys together that you hold, but either way you need to make sure you phone is connected to your computer.

volume up +voldown+pwr button five vibrates and a stable green led vol down +pwr three vibrates and red blinking led just pwr on button three vibrates red blinking led
If your bootloader wasn't unlocked, I don't see how you could have bricked it. Also, do you know if you had usb debug mode turned on? You couldn't have flashed an image with a locked bootloader and the scripts won't work either since the adb/fastboot utilities cannot talk to your phone if debug mode is off.
At any rate, pull out the battery for a few minutes, reseat the battery, connect the phone to your pc, hold down vol- and power and see if you can get to a bootloader screen. Even if it seems to boot but hangs at the green htc logo, you should still be able to issue adb commands and recover.
Once the phone boots, on your pc, open a command prompt and type the command "adb devices" without quotes to see if your phone is recognized. Let us know the status then.

Qualcomm mode is what happens when you hold volume down instead of up while booting. A common issue with the inspire is the volume rocker malfunctioning and becoming "stuck". Usually it is volume up that gets stuck. Either way you will have to probably repair the volume rocker by replacing it. With the age of the device though I don't think it's worth it to spend any money on repairs. It's almost 3 years old now. I know it seems concidental to happen at the same time your trying to unlock it but it can happen. If it is something that went wrong while you were trying to unlock it your pretty much in the same boat. If it only goes to Qualcomm mode there is nothing you can do.

Then something happened when you tried to unlock it. If you can't access the device via fastboot or adb then it is not fixable. Reflashing a boot img or hboot would be what you would want to do if you could gain access.

[Q] I brick my nexus, need help

Hello everyone.
Yesterday I tried to flash my nexus to f2fs. After that I wanted to go back to the stock, but forgot format filesystem to ext4 and run flash_all.bat.
Flashing was stopped on system write with error: "Unknown chunk type". After that i can't open recovery or turn on phone.
On 4pda i read, that bootloader reopen can help fix this problem.
When I flash new boot, nexus was died.
Can you help me?
Hi,
Please provide a link to exactly what you've flashed? Can you access the bootloader?

no, i haven't access to bootloader

you need to put your device in fastboot mode, keep retrying
then to go back to EXT4 :
- Flash back an official custom recovery (CWM or TWRP)
- Format Data from recovery
- Flash a kernel compatible with your ROM
- Reboot.

If all the key combinations don't work, them your device is done for! Since it's totally dead there shouldn't be any problem to RMA it! Good Luck

Press and hold volume up while you connect usb cable to pc.
can you see download mode on device screen?
if yes read this thread entirely http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2515760
Edit: try this also:
connect your phone to the pc, open device manager.
hold your power button until QHSUSB_BULK disappears, then in that split second press and hold both volume key while you still press the power key. it may end up into the second bootloader
thank you all!

Will it power on at all? If you plug usb to your computer does adb devices command give output?

* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
error: device not found
That does sound like a brick. Maybe enquire in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2363516

Are you sure you just don't have a really dead battery? That's what they do until they get a decent enough charge.
Check device manager for movement when you disco and reconnect the phone. Also see if you get it to show in fastboot money.

Alright, I didn't read everything, but did you try holding down both volume keys and pressing and holding the power button for a couple of seconds to boot it down? If not, try that and if it works, then maybe I can help you from there.

If it's not detected by your pc and after what you've tried you likely need to swap it.
