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.

My first Verizon GS3 died when I was unplugging and re-plugging to it a FIIO E7 USB amp. I had been using it for over a week with various USB devices, including the E7.
Once it turned off, I could not get it to turn on or go in to download mode. Connecting to the computer did nothing. Various combinations of button presses did nothing. Neither did putting in a different battery and plugging to another charger. It was absolutely, completely dead - as if there was no battery in it. No pining for the fiords.
I had the bootloader unlocked and it was running CleanROM and TWRP. Everything was working well until it died.
I took it to a Verizon store and they could not revive it. I got my replacement and had to send in the bricked one without being able to put it back to factory settings.
I saw in the Development section that someone else had the same problem. I saw in another forum that a 3rd person had the problem. I thought that E7 was the source but it seems to be a USB ToGo problem.
Do post here if you've had the same issue.

We'll find out if they complain about the bricked phone once they receive it. I did not volunteer that I had rooted and changed the ROM. It appeared to be a hardware issue anyway.
I was in my first 30 days. And, I also have insurance on it.
If it actually bricked and cannot be booted they can not tell. Will have to Jtag to revive and at that point will be back to stock with no signs of being tampered with. They will just throw in refurb bucket and send to Texas to be repaired where they do not check it anyway. :laugh:

Wish we knew why it happened.
I had the same thing happen to my one day old GS3 about a month ago. Verizon swapped it.

Same exact scenario here. I was also running CleanROM. Mine died immediately after pulling the phone off my car charger.

Happened again
I broke the screen of my 2nd device and received the insurance replacement. Today's replacement died as soon as I plugged in the FIIO E7 into it. So now that's two out of three phones.
This time I had CleanROM 3.0 on it.
Phone was working fine this morning, screen flashed and phone vibrated, I went to unlock it, nothing. Tried to power it on, thinking it had powered off, nothing. No response at all. I had just plugged in a MicroUSB to USB adapter with a USB flash drive plugged in when this happened.
No boot to recovery, no boot to download mode. No charging light when plugged into wall or laptop.
Any help?
If I return it to my local store, and ask for a replacement exchange, what are the chances of them finding out it's rooted? If I can't turn it on, can they?

Verizon doesnt give replacement phones in store unless its under 14 days old. You just need to call them and they will next day air a replacement. As for the phone when you plug it in does it show a led light or the battery icon on the screen? Also was the battery extremely low when it went off?
Wasn't aware of that, thanks. This was my first phone to have an issue...
When I plug it in, there is no light. No reaction of any kind. The battery was ~90%, I had taken it off the charger and made a call or two.
P.S. Any chance a USB Jig would be able to get my phone into download mode? Once there, I would have no problem getting to stock and starting from scratch...

What recovery do you use?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2
TWRP, but I can't get it to boot at all.
does it vibrate?
Last resort would be something called heimdall or something like that. I don't know if it will work but supposedly on older samsung phones it is the ultimate last resort even when odin doesn't work. Just google it and try to find some info.
Doesn't vibrate. Isn't heimdall for Mac?
Just downloaded and ran Heimdall, no recognition of my phone with stock cord or after market cord.
Edit: I guess at this point I just want to make know if there is any way for Verizon to find out my phone is rooted, and the exact process of getting it replaced?
Heimdall wont do anything for you since it connects to the phone the same way odin does, and you still have to be in download mode. If it doesnt vibrate or react in anyway when pluggin it in then its safe to say its dead. You should be safe switching it out as a dead phone with verizon too. You should call them early in the day so the phone will get sent out that day too, if they dont offer to next day air it then tell them you need the phone asap and they will free of charge (you may just need to tell them you need it and you lost all ur data, ect and they will help you out). Sometimes they will say you will receive it in 2-3 days free of charge, which is unacceptable.
Alright, I'm guessing I just ship mine back to them in the same box or...?
Thanks for the help, too.

Ya you will get a replacement phone with no back cover, you keep your sim card and back cover. There will be a shipping label for the return shipping which you can either drop off at a fedex or usps location. You have 5 days to return the bad phone from the day you get the replacement. They will explain everything to you on the phone.
Alright, so I'm really nervous about making this call. If I send it in, and they get it working enough to run their tests, and it comes up rooted, I don't have the money to pay for the phone at full retail price. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I should do? I know a lot of people brick their phones by misfollowing instructions, or flashing things they shouldn't be, but I did neither of which. The phone just shut down, and won't turn back on.
Sending the phone to a 3rd party service is also not possible for me, at this time.
Edit: Just found this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1981582), which sounds almost exactly like what happened to mine. So I guess my chances should be good of getting a replacement, without any troubles. I tried to find other threads involving people who sent in bricked phone to find their experiences, but I didn't know quite what to search for..
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
What operating system are you on? Rooted? Do have have a nandroid backup?

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'.

Hi, I know there's some threads about this already, but they don't seem to answer my problem.
Okay so my AT&T HTC One XL won't turn on
Here is what happened. I was watching a video on youtube with the phone charging from the outlet and all of a sudden it shuts off. I'm on a custom rom so I just figured it crashed. That or it shut off because I remember the phone being kind of hot. Either way I was able to turn it on again without any problems and the battery was at 20%. I started using it normally for a while and then it shut off again. This time it didn't and hasn't turned on again
When I plug it in to the wall charger no led lights, light up and when I try Power + Volume Down to turn it on nothing happens either. I did notice though that when I plug it into my PC it recognizes it (makes the usb connecting noise), but then it immediately disconnects and continues to make the disconnecting noise.
So is there any way possible to revive this phone or do I have to replace the battery or motherboard or something?
P.S. I was on KarbonKat v1.0-4, stock kernel, hboot 2.14, S-Off and I did not perform any rooting or flashing of any kind when this happened.
You might just be experiencing a power management bug. Plug the phone into an AC charger and leave it connected for eight hours or so (don't be tempted to touch it), try to power it on using the normal method, and with the volume down + power button combo, try both of those methods with and without the device connected to the charger. If you can't revive it then chances are you have a brick. But, I'd connect it again and leave it for a day or so and try again.

Could he also utilize safe mode? To see where his issues are ?

If the phone won't boot I don't see how that will work though. Usually if you can get the device to boot after this it'll be fine.

You can find my thread from a little over a month ago in this section but I experienced a similar thing and well it's fatal I bought a battery and tried that but it didn't help, it's currently in the hands of datarecovery.com who are looking at it before giving me a quote to get everything off of it. I don't want to give you false hope but odds are it's toast and it seems like something that's happening more often with the XL now that it's closing in on 2 years for most people.
I read that it could because faulty power button.

I tried this and unfortunately it didn't work.
I also doubt it is a power button issue because when i plug it into my PC and hold the power button it makes the usb connected noise.
I think it's safe to say that I have a new paperweight. I would just like to know if there's any guess that could be made as to why my phone died (ex: battery, motherboard, etc.) and how the PC detects it if its supposedly dead.

Your phone is possibly not completely dead, you might be able to get a jtag repair done on it. It's definitely worth a try, especially seeing that you still get the connection sound when you hook it up to your PC.

Why is it that no one here ever suggests sending the phone to HTC? My phone bricked once (QHSUSB_DLOAD); I contacted HTC and told them my phone shut off and wouldn't come back on, which was the honest truth and seems to be your problem, and they fixed it for free (I had to pay for shipping.) Other users here have reported similar outcomes from contacting HTC, all with unlocked bootloaders. Before shelling out for JTAG I'd definitely recommend contacting HTC.

HTC routinely charge $200 for a motherboard replacement on devices that have been modified. Plus, the vast majority of Evitas are out of their warranty period now.

Call and ask first. As with others and myself, HTC has fixed devices that were outside of the warranty (both due to time and unlocked bootloader) at no cost to the owners. At worst they'll tell you it's outside of the warranty, or you'll have spent $5 in shipping for them to tell you that they can either send it back to you, or replace it for the ~$200 timmaaa has suggested.
It's definitely worth a try.

@mudcat. If you have HTC repair it ,could you ask the RMA team what exactly what your issue was, and then post here their answer? We would appreciate it.

I will definitely do that for you.
Thank you to everyone for all the help. I will contact HTC and see what they can do for me and keep you all posted.
Is there a specific HTC repair website that I go to or do I just call their number?
HTC.com
