[Q] Hard Bricked or not ?????? - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Until yesterday,my nexus 5 16GB (Imported from Canada to India) runs fine, but it give some error after rebooting a device. "UID's inconsistent Error (I'm feeling Lucky)" .
I searched on XDA Forum and find a solution that it needs to fix permission through TWRP recovery.
The error had gone but my internal SD storage shows empty in any file manager but works fine on PC (it shows all files and folders on PC).
I got this storage problem second time in last two months and it happens when i do some task through TWRP like cleaning cache,Dalvik cache etc.
Last time i fixed it by simply re-installing the firmware.
But this time i read somewhere to use a command "dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/mmcblk0" in Terminal emulator app.
So i go for this solution.But after this when i reboot my device,it never turns ON.
No combination of button works to get in recovery or bootloader.
It is detected as " Qualcomm hs-usb qdloader 9008" port in device manager.
and if i press and hold volume up then connect it via usb to pc ,it shows unknown device.
other than this, nothing works and no screen activity.
i had already tried LG flash Tool,but it says device is in unknown mode.
Please tell me if my device is Hard Bricked or not?
If Yes ,how much it will cost to get repaired here in INDIA?
Device Details:
Nexus 5 16GB Android L LPV81C (rooted with custom TWRP recovery)
Bootloader Unlocked.

Looks like you nuked your eMMC...
Where did you find that command?

Try this: download android driver,change usb port ad use nexus root tolkit http://forum.xda-developers.com/goo...olkit-wugs-nexus-root-toolkit-v1-8-3-t2517778 . The software has a system to try to recover bricked nexus. Sorry for my incomprensible english, i'm italian

All Bricks are hard.
If you cant fix with LG flashtool, yes it's bricked

Hi,
Try this [bootloader] [unbrick] Second Bootloader on Nexus 5
With those instructions I was able to recover my nexus 5.

He destroyed mmcblk0 which is the entire eMMC partition...
So, no second bootloader.

Man, if your phone enter in fastboot mode, download theka first firmware from google site, maybe 4.4, and install it via fastboot, i didn't read all the thread but it save me when something similar happens to me, but if your phone didn't enter in fastboot, soo I think it's hard bricked

Ok Thanks!
as none of the method works, I assumed phone is hard bricked.
Should i go for a warranty claim in Canada (i can manage to send it to canada through relative to my brother (who live in canada) for this purpose)????
Or just give here in India to LG service center for repair or motherboard replacement ????
Anyone knows how much motherboard replacement will cost ???

This here alarms me... You read "Somewhere? where exactly? you obviously didn't know what it was or what it could have done, so why do it?
Yeah, seems it's hard bricked, but you've been taught a lesson here.. make sure you know what you're doing... and don't just "read" something and try it..
If in doubt, read, then read again, then read some more.. if you are stuck. Ask.

LG in indai will not do anything because the D820 variant sold in canada and the D821 variant sold in india. It does not matter if you have LG warranty or not. Maybe they will offer you to replace the D820 board with a D821 board, but you have to pay the costs of the repair and motherboard change. The price can go above 100 USD.
If you facing this "UID's inconsistent Error (I'm feeling Lucky)" problem in the future then you have to make a factory reset. You get this error if you dirty flash roms

somewhere... sounds fishy
Actually when I saw this I was reminded of how I used to tell folks on MMO's that I played that pressing ALT+F4 was how you pick up rare items when they drop and that you had to press it repeatedly so no one else got it...

Dude i had the same problem and fixed it with TWRP ( Fix Permissions ). Sorry for your phone btw. Looks like a nuked emmc as others said...

If it turn on I recommend you try nexus toolkit
I use that for my N7

Dude, it doesnt turn on. It's hard bricked. You do the dd command he did and I guarantee it'll hard brick it every time.

Ok

Ok,
I got all of this.
Thanks for your replies.
Learned a lesson from my stupidity.
Now,I am sending it back to Canada.

It's kinda said that you can wipe the most important partition of the device without it warning you about the possible outcome.

[SOLVED]Hard Brick. No flash mode. Not powering on (vold.fstab modification)

I tried this mod
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=45573975&postcount=30
Everything was successful but to my mistake I formatted the 4GB(Original internal) and now I can't mount it so I restarted the phone and now the phone is in this state/ Please guys I need help
Did you try formating the original 4Gb inside CWM ?

bootloader is still locked as of now. But there is no response in either volume up or volume down
It's look like that is a hard brick ;/, maybe some one come up with something to fix but I'm out. For me it's look like a hard brick.
oh my do you think if I brought it to service center, they will detect that I have rooted the phone and had vold.fstab changed?
Don't think so, as the phone doesn't turn even respond to any thing. They might change the motherboard. Just try saying to them that this happend when during charing. You just left phone for the night to charge and on the morning phone was out. But are you sure that SUS doesn't recognise the phone ? If they do not belive you might pay for the motherboard.
I Have unlocked bootloader on xperia l. The mobile is hardbirck and sent to the service of sony. You have a problem with the repair because unlock the bootloader?I bought it 25 days ago.

Flashtool doesn't recognize the phone, no device appears in device manager after plugging the phone while holding down volume - button
The phone was not unlocked. I just tried swapping internal with external
Finally the phone has been changed the same day. It has been replaced with a new one because sony can't see why
Do you think I won't have problem that I unlocked the bootloader and sent to the repair service (Reason Hardbrick)? I just told them that closed and did not open and wait for reply in 10 days. The mobile I have one month...

if yes then download stock rom for nokia x
and flash is with any flash tool (like odin)
(make sure you have installed your phone to the same pc before means you have drivers)
if your device not showing then contact nokia care (dont tell them your story otherwise your warrenty will over tell them only that your mobile is not turning on )

Sorry buddy...... Tried it... but no use
All we can do is to refer you to a service center. Sorry.
Moderators, please verify my account. I am sick of the five-minute post wait.
Sent from my XT1022 using the XDA Premium 4 app.
Try this..power the phone off, wait 5 mins, then press and hold power for 60 seconds, and check if you see any signs of the phone coming back to life. If not, then the next option is the service center
that too is not working.................Is there no one inthis whole XDA Universe who can help me..... come on guys there must be someone................:crying::crying::crying:

The five-minute post limit is lifted once you have reached 10 posts. The moderators have nothing to do with it, as the process is automated to lift the wait after you post 10 times.
The reason for this wait is to keep new users from rapidly posting uselessly just to achieve 10 posts.

Oops, sorry to get your hopes up.
I do actually have a few things to say about the real problem here:
1. Are you sure that your device is charged up? If not, make sure to plug it in to charge.
2. If charging isn't the problem, I'm going to give it a safe bet that your device is bricked. Like, turned into nothing more than a brick. (That's what "bricked" actually means ) If the device doesn't respond to the power button (which your posts have led me to believe), then there is no way to revive your device.
aah come on

You said you've cleared eMMC and also some boot related stuff.
Well, messing with your eMMC and boot partition isn't a good idea, if you wiped your entire eMMC partition it means you've also wiped bootloader stuff...
I'm sorry but looks like your phone is totally bricked....
First of all stop shouting...!
Are you sure you choose "advaneced menu" and not "mount and storage" ....?
Also me too I think your device is bricked...
If you can't recognise it from fastboot and adb and you can boot to bootloader and recovery mode it is bricked...

If your phone won't turn on at all, it's totally bricked. Only a motherboard replacement will fix it...
As you know your phone has hard bricked buddy
then you should also know you cant fix it
try odin and flash bootloader (if u can without open download mode)
or Nokia care is the best way...

[Q] Samsung i9105p completly bricked

Hello,
Yesterday I wanted to partition my SD card for my Samsung Galaxy S II Plus (i9105p). And I followed those steps on a website (sorry, I'm new on this forum, I can't post the link... Googled "How to manually partition your SD card for Android Apps2SD" and go in the first website).
On this website, I used Android Device Bridge (ADB). (Step 1: in ADB, I wrote "adb shell". Step2: "parted /dev/block/mmcblk0". Step3: "print". Step4: "rm 1", "rm 2"...).
I think that I did a very very very bad thing in step 4. I removed all the partitions of my internal memory (including the SYSTEM).
I followed all steps. At the end, I push the Power button to select "Reboot your system". And the screen became black and then nothing !
My phone can't power on. I can't go into recovery mode. I can't go into download mode. My phone is not detected in my computer !
So my phone is completly bricked !!
Before doing this, I had Cyanogenmod 11 thanks to the post :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s2-plus/orig-development/rom-cyanogenmod-11-t2800254
Please tell me that there is a solution.
Thank you.

Hi, Thanks for replying.
I didn't know the usb jig. When I googled it I found that
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s2/general/ref-usb-jig-faq-frequently-questions-t1402286
I think that it's only for the Samsung Galaxy S2 (but I have the Samsung Galaxy S2 Plus (i9105P)).
And, according to this website, it solved only soft bricked phones. However, my phone is hard bricked, and maybe worse (if it's possible...) !
Indeed, I think that I completely removed the OS (since I removed all the partitions !) and it cannot boot !
Are you sure that it can solve my problem (before I buy it) ?
My phone had at the beginning 8GB.
Is there a way to boot the phone on a SD card ? (I have 8GB on it)
If there is, can you explain me how to do it step by step (I'm a newbie, I don't understand everything sorry).
Thank you again.
Usb jig works every Samsung phones. Usb jig can safe your hard bricked phone too.
When u put jig in, ur phone boots to download mode and you are able download Stock firmware to your phone.
I am not completely sure if it will help. If the download mode stuff is also stored on the mmc chip, how could it boot to download mode then?

No even your bootloader is erased(at least I think so). And even if you can boot to anything, your efs partition is wiped and things like radio, bluetooth, wifi may not work anymore

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.

Hmm, can QPST find your phone? I'm trying to get a QPST/QCN backup which could be helpful. However, fastboot, flashmode, recovery or device running, I get ports empty. Can anyone help me out here? I can try draining my battery so I have the little phase of the dull red led where the device won't power on until it's a little charged.

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 unlocked it but the ROM zip was not flashing through TWRP. After 2-3 tries my phone went full dead. If you can help it will be great.

Strangest "Bricked" Oneplus One: No recovery, locked OS, can't unlock bootloader

Strangest "Bricked" Oneplus One: No recovery, locked OS, can't unlock bootloader
Hi there, I've come in to the possession of the most stubbornly bricked phone that I've ever seen . Bought a OPO off Craigslist, someone cracked the screen and sold it for cheap instead of fixing it. It had been remote wiped but still has some strange difficult software. Posted this problem to the Oneplus Forum but have had no response, thought XDA would be more qualified!
From what I can tell it's a Oneplus One that was sold through a re-seller that replaced all the software on the phone with a high-security version of Android. It's called EncroChat and from their website (encrochat.network or encrochatsure.com) it looks like it removes the recovery from the phone and replaces it with an EncroChat OS (some kind of Cyanogen) that you can boot to in addition to the Android OS.
Well I assume during the remote wipe something went wrong with the software and the phone no longer really functions. It boots up fine but can't connect to Wifi, cellular, not detected when connected to my PC, and has no real apps to speak of. I think most of the device's drivers are missing. Trying to boot to recovery instead boots to their EncroChat OS which is locked behind a password that neither I nor the person I bought it from knows.
I can get to fastboot and my PC will detect the phone then but running the bootloader unlock command doesn't work, the phone just reboots into the locked EncroChat OS. My idea now is to try and hardbrick the phone and then re-do everything on the phone over again, but I can't figure out how to do that. Does anyone else have any ideas?
Contacting EncroChat
Tried contacting EncroChat via email form, twitter, and reddit. No luck! Still stuck with this. I want to try this unbrick guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/general/guide-unbrick-oneplus-one-t3013732 for hardbricks but I can't get my phone to show as QHSUSB_BULK or Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008. Any idea how I can do that? This guy seems to have done it:

Had one GOOD soft brick in the past, I've used coloros rom(from the Chinese OnePlus One) and fix my phone ...it deleted all media of course but manage to unbrick the phone. Don't ask me how to, it's been a while, google it
It would fix even the most stubborn soft bricks you'll see. Before that I tried everything that was available at the time, no boot as well only fastboot(not even recovery)

For your phone to be recognized in your PC as QHSUSB_BULK or Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008, you need to install proper drivers. follow this guide

let me know, if I can help you furthermore.

Hello dude,
While it was quite some time when I did this unbrick, it was successful ...expect ALL data to be deleted from phone. Google is your friend and I did get all the files from somewhere
You use a special software from the phone, it's coloros software and with provided files it recognise the phone and flash it(2-3 seperate flashes through the software if I remember correctly) - don't worry as long as the phone turns on(mine was turning on but did nothing ...blank, only way to turn it off was to hold power button and hold it(forced turn off))
P.S. The phone wasn't recognised by the OS ...only from this app(cool? ..weird if you ask me - I'm a computer repair tech guy and find this hard to believe if it didn't happen and see it with my own eyes - on the other hand it could be somewhere hidden in the system and recognised like something else so I won't put my hand in fire to verify this )
Thanks!

I figured it out, thanks ! Now I'm stuck with a more minor problem of only having 16gb visible on my 64gb phone. Can't write the userdata_64G image to my phone. Still trying some stuff out and I'll probably just make a new post if I can't get it to work. Thanks again!

I read just the other day that someone needs the 64gb image instead of the 16gb image. You did so well so far, I'm sure you'll figure this one out. Congrats! "Encrochat Beware!"
The mention of the 64gb vs 16gb image is here:

Hi there, sorry in advance this might not be very helpful in your situation. I ended up using the ColorOS repair tool for Oneplus One that I mentioned earlier in the post. It turned out I just didn't have the correct drivers so once I sorted those out the tool was able to bypass all the software and replace everything on the phone so that I could then install my own OS.
I guess the trick would be to find a version of this tool for OneplusX. I'm not sure if there is one available, I haven't looked. Maybe make a separate post about that? The ColorOS tool I'm talking about is from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=55024864&postcount=136 and it just looks directly for the Qualcomm chip and writes to that. I'm not sure where that tool came from, if it made its way out of Oneplus directly or if someone created it afterwards...
