Nexus 5 not booting up. (Nexus 5 Shown as QHSUSB_BULK in device manager. )

Guys My nexus 5's battery was fully discharged after that when im try to charge it its just not booting up. Also when i connect it to the PC i can hear the sound of it getting connected from pc speakers but the screen is not powering up. Can anyone plz help me up ?
Edit : When i connect my deive it is shown as QHSUSB_BULK in device manager.

Can you access bootloader? Hold down power button+vol down button together till you feel a vibration... If nothing shows up then
Leave it on a wall charger for 2-3 hours and see whether it boots up or not...
if not, it's most probably a hardware failure... We would be able to do something or the other if you could just reach to the bootloader, if not, it's dead...

QHSUSB_BULK means that your phone is hard bricked.

Yes,April 1st is ended,lol. Unfortunately,if you can't go into recovery or bootloader there is only one way to fix it - to change motherboard.

Aaarrghh... That's bad...
You can't do anything to fix it.. The motherboard needs to be changed. Your best bet would be to send the phone to a friend/relative living in the US and tell them to RMA it for you. You obviously will need a proper google play receipt to confirm that the order is legit (from playstore)...

Sorry for your loss I just got my new RMA nexus 5 very similar situation, was nearly dead battery put it on my Nokia wireless charger as I do every night awoke to Google and unlock icon, no boot after that no matter what I tried I lost a lot of data as I had not backed up. I freely admit using exposed modules but have never had any issues beyond the occasional reboot (common error if you search). Lucky I have my nexus 4 as a backup but disappointed. Enough about me I wanted to tell you the RMA process could not have been easier if you some how purchased through Google play they will hook you right up. Good luck

Flashed wrong bootstack/modem, Pls HELP unbrick m8

Hi there,
I accidentally flashed (inside twrp) my HTC m8 with a bootstack/modem of a different phone (39a,LG G2). I'm pretty embarrassed about it, didn't mean to do it...I thought I was following instructions to install a new rom for the m8,except I was in the wrong forum..
details: in TWRP I flashed the wrong file, then went on to install a new rom and an error appeared: this is not vs980, this device is m8wl...so I thought, what? strange....
I turned off the phone (without realizing yet what happened. Sorry, stressful couple of weeks) and when I tried to turn it back on, it wouldn't. No matter how long I held the power button, or power and vol down. It will not go in download mode, neither detect it is plugged in to charger or a computer. Basically totally off without any response.
My question: is there any way possible to resuscitate this phone? please help me! any advice is appreciated.
before I had the m8 with s-off,rooted,with a 5.1 rom installed.
Thank you in advance!!!

You need all in one kit 2.0
M8 firmwareTWRP or probably RUU file
my choice will be firmware TWRP
you can flash it with help of All in one tool kit 2.0

thanks for the help so far guys!
Here's another funny thing. After a few attempts of plugging it in to a computer, it was recognized and it showed up in the device manager. The phones still did not turn on though. Additionally it seems that the phone is seen as an LG model (even though it's not), but I am not sure yet. I will get the HTC drivers installed,and if it doesn't work, I will try the LG drivers.
by the way, isn't there a way to flash the correct modem/bootstack with ones of those kits? i also remember from downloading the wrong LG G2 modem/bootstack that it didn't come with fastboot in it.
I will try a few things and report it back.
thanks again,

If your device doesn't light the power button but for a single flash when you try to power it on your board is toast.
If it shows up in device manager as a qusb bulk device the board is toast.

I got it to be recognized on a computer again, and windows installs a driver. The name of the device is forge hs-usb qdloader 9008.
I tried the all in one 2.0 kit, adb sideload, etc but anything I try I get a "device not found".
I think I am giving up unless someone finds a way to unbrick this kind of severe problem in the future. I also researched a bit on google, and there's a way to unbrick the LG G2 when it's seen as forge hs-usb qdloader 9008, which is known as a board unbrick. I found nothing for the HTC m8 though.
We tried all we could Thanks all for the help, it's very much appreciated! You guys are the best and this forum is awesome. I also ordered a new phone...and I will root it too

Might be completely wrong on this.
Wouldn't he be able to JTAG the appropriate boot image back onto the device?
Also, I know we had a hard brick recovery for the S3 back in the day. Worked consistently on full hard brick's.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2581166
Isn't it possible to dump a debrick image from a working device and follow the guide with that? I know the two devices are completely different, but the premise is the same.
My technical know-how isn't anywhere near your level, just thought I'd throw these ideas out there is case it hasn't been thought of yet. I'd be happy to put together a guide on how to do this if it can work on the M8.

I rooted my phone with a custom kernel about a month ago and it constantly rebooted during calls etc.... I wanted to use Arter97's kernel with CWM but it will not boot into recovery.

The root used to work before but I did a factory reset and not it says root is not properly installed!

The device still works, just the glass back of the phone broke. The phone is not being recognized by the computer at all even before I smashed it.. I tried every method but it works on my s6 right away but not the note 5. It says my phone has no root now after I factory reset but my kernel is still the rooted version... 3.10.61 noble kernel v0.1
Did the root damage the hardware that it would connect to my pc?

Try a different cable and a different USB port when in download mode.
I had the same once, it's not the end of the world.

I've found the more generic the cord the more likely it will work especially if your port is bent

I went to a few stores they said They have to change the motherboard for my note 5 SM n920w8... apparently that is why it changes with the usb on the pc but not data sync.... Im kinda lost on this because why would it do that!

It seems like I have multiple issues now, The phone is in a bootloop and will not pass Samsung Note 5 Logo, and the other problem is the device is not being detected on my computer.. Now it kinda seems worse because I am not even getting the error anymore it just won't connect.
I can still enter Odin download mode and Recovery mode yes.
I took it to the shop and they said they can fix itbut will cost around $240.00 to replace the motherboard so it can connect to the computer. If I can make it connect I can fix this whole issue..
I have tried multiple cords, multiple computers, disabled and enabled drivers, uninstalled and reinstalled drivers, updated drivers, every possible way you can think off with the computer.

Xperia L Bricked, EMMC DL TOOL HELP

I was upgrading my Xperia TO 5.1 and was flashing recovery. TWRP was flashed but I was not able to flash any zip through it.
I tried unlocking bootloader but nothing happened. I tried this 3-4 times and suddenly my Phone gone blank.
Now the condition is neither LED or any kind of vibration is working. Phone is detected as Qualcomm Qloader 9008. I tried figuring out and found that bootloader is corrupt. Many person having Snapdragon Chipset have same problem. I found EMMC DL Tool which can repair this but in version 5.2.0.r I am getting invalid user error.
Then I tried Tool studio EMMC tool from ZTE but I am getting error while downloading the Hex file. Phone is detected but unfortunately I am not able to fix it.
Please go through screenshot.
Someone please help me to fix. Either using this emmc tool or anyother.
P.S. Went to SC they said to replace MB which will cost around 6500-7500. But I don't think to spend such money for repairing when I can but much better phone in that price segment.

I am not able to post image. Help me. I don't have 10 post count yet.

So, you cannot get into flashmode or fastboot? Power off your phone, hold volume up and plug it into your pc without hitting the power button. Do you get any blue led or quick led flash at all? I'm not sure about your device's condition but I can surely try getting you files from my phone.
Try installing flashtool and see if flashtool recognizes your phone at all.

Only red LED glows while I plug it in PC. Flashtool can not recognize. EMMC tool recognize but can't find/download the files.
I am pretty sure once I get the tool running it will bring back my phone alive.

Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 SGH-I497 AT&T Bricked!

Hi all,
I own a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 SGH-I497 (don't forget, its that specific model) that I recently tried to flash a Kernel through CWM recovery. Unfortunately, by the time I realized I shouldn't do such a thing, it was too late and I pressed the wrong button to select "go back". Now my device is stuck in what I would assume is a boot loop, without any screen output. However, I can turn the tab off and my computer will make the "disconnect" noise, alike when a flash drive/USB is unplugged. It also makes a "connect" noise when the tab turns itself back on less than 5 seconds later. Since I need an IMEI number for the KIES firmware reset, I cannot fix this with KIES, as I have no access to my android OS and it is not written on the back plate (for some ungodly reason, thanks Samsung!) I do have an SD card and a cable, and also have ODIN installed, so any suggestions would be great Honestly I don't think it can get any more F*cked right now, so if you guys have a clue on what to start with, shoot!
Also, if ANYONE has a way to find the IMEI number, It would be VERY, VERY appreciated!~
Thanks!

Anyone? I have found out it is connecting/disconnecting to my PC as a "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COM3)", so I am going to attempt to use a qualcomm flash tool.

I'm having this exact issue. Did you figure it out? Anyone? :silly:

I don't have this specific model but have you tried flashing the factory image using odin? Boot into download mode and connect it to your PC then odin should display "Added!" Then locate your firmware package and flash it

flashing a custom kernel that is not meant for the same device, is fatal in most of the cases. still if your device can get into either recovery or download mode. praise the lord.
there is a detailed guide in my signature below, where I had tried explaining most of the parts.
