Lately my HTC One shut off while typing on it and it was dead.
Holding power for 10 seconds (and any of the combination with the volume buttons) did not help.
And when you connect it to the power does not even had the red led indicating that is charging.
If you connect it to a PC you get prompted to install the QHSUSB_DLOAD drivers.
So the phone is dead but not really completely dead.
Clearly that QHSUSB_DLOAD is a Qualcom hook that could be use to debug and probably re-flash the phone. The question is what is this tool and how do you use it?
I think there is some sort of standard way to recover across phone (maybe not all with a Qualcomm but I am sure that the protocol is the same among a few processors).
There are a few examples out there:
[UNBRICK] HTC Unbricking Project - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1627886
DLOADTool - https://github.com/posixninja/DLOADTool
http://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/ultimate-cure-to-the-qhsusb_dload-of-mi2-s.20567/
And a lot of info about HTC internal here: http://tjworld.net/wiki/Android/HTC/Vision
So I wonder if anybody here has some idea about the tools and how to use to resurrect HTC phones and in particular the HTC One (M7).

I am currently working on a app that will come up on a galaxy y that when the usb cable is connected, will launch the OS.
The device will be run from a cigarette lighter which gives enough power to sustain it when the app is on, BUT theres one big issue, if I dont use the car for a while the battery will obviously run down in 2 or 3 days, and when the energy returns, the app will not be able to start again by itself.
So i searched and tried thousands of solutions to make the device starts when the power AC is on, instead of stuck on the battery sprite screen...
I know we have this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1815131 from last year
but in that case, the guy have fastboot to use its commands to modify the bootloader args, but within my research i have found that we dont have fastboot on samsung devices, just odin mode...
So the question is: is there any way to modify the bootloader, or put a bootloader that have this feature via odin?
My phone only shows the the elephone 2 e sign when I turn it on. I have tried pressing the on and volume key when I turn it on but nothing happened. I have followed some instructions on the elephone manufacturer site about installing drivers to my computer and then trying to reinstall the firmware. Unfortunately my computers (I have tried on three different ones) does not identify that a device is connected to the computer. Therefore I can't proceed to install the driver as according to my computer it is not installed. I have tried 2 different leads as well. I would be grateful for some help as I have no idea where to go from here.
Facing a similar issue, and since there's still no reply to this thread, I would like to add up a few findings I have on this matter to maybe help others and get helped.
My P3000S is also reaching the Elephone logo and displays it for a minute and then restarts, repeating the process (aka boot-loop).
The same happens whether it is connected or not connected to the charger/computer through a USB cable. (I've tried new cables but that's not the case).
When disconnected I can stop the boot-loop only by holding down the on/off button for a few seconds (or removing the battery of course).
When connected to the the charger or computer through the USB cable I have no way to stop the boot-loop (holding down on/off just restarts it).
Now with the battery removed..:
If I connect it to the charger/computer, though the charging red light turns on normally, I can't turn on the phone using the on/off button.
However, when connected through USB to a windows computer, I can see in the device manager that, right when I connect the phone it shows up as "Mediatek Preloader USB VCOM Port" under COM ports group, for 1 second and then disappears as if it was disconnected. There's no repetition here I have to manually hold down the on/off button or disconnect and reconnect the phone from the cable to cause this to happen again.
So, I am unable to flash anything nor turn the phone on because I practically only have 1 second of its presence in my devices list.
Also, I have tried all possible combinations with the volume up/down keys and the on/off button in order to enter recovery mode, with no success..
In case anyone has faced something similar or has any ideas on a possible fix on this phone please feel free to reply.
At last a reply to my initial message. Unfortunately it was someone with the same problem as me. I took out a paypal case against the person I bought the phone from and eventually they repaired it. Unfortunately they never told me how. To make matters worse it broke again within 2 months. The phone is now sat in a draw doing nothing. I have given up on it and will never buy another Elephone phone again.
Hello,
first, a happy new year 2016 .
I’m a German newbie and have the following problem with the HTC One S from a friend.
It began with a white display was shown only, a reboot or shutdown was not applicable. After connecting to the charger the display change to black. The orange light which shows the smartphone is charging, glows.
I have been using the PC trying to connect me to the HTC one S (USB). The hardware manager shows a Device like Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008.
Then I tried to connect to the HTC one s via ADB/Fastboot. I realized that the smartphone could not be found (no-device-error). Another HTC one s is connected instantly. I think the USB developer Mode is deactivated with a standard boot manager..
After that I tried to connect to the HTC one s via QPST 2.7.422. The device is available, but I don’t now how to get any data from the HTC.
Maybe you can give me instructions to get the data from the smartphone e.g. pictures, contacts and so on…
I hope i described my problem in the right words
regards
Wilkose

Hello,
I have a HTC U11 which appeared to have bricked during a hard reset - it froze and I used the power and volume down button to force a reset. It turned off but didn't appear to turn on again. I took it to a repairer which tried to replace both the screen and battery before telling me that it's economically unviable to repair because there is an issue with the motherboard. I've already got a replacement phone but I didn't have any of the data on my HTC backed up.
I've got Android studios and the naked adb driver set but when I connect it to my PC via usb it makes the sound of a device being connected and disconnected but won't detect the device - not even in device manager. Is there any possibility I will be able to access to the internal storage of the phone through my pc given these complications or will I have to see if a professional data recovery specialist can recover my data?
