[q] i killed it worse! - RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So a while back I tried to flash god knows what to my xt926 with a low battery..its been some time now so I really cant remember....and of course it took a poo on me. I got the team black hat factory cable and plugged it into the computer. The only thing that happens was the led turned solid green for a few and went out. The computer said it was "malfunctioned and windows does not recognize it". I can not do ANYTHING with the phone. Nothing shows on the screen and can not load into ap fastboot. I did of course try vol up down pwr...nothing..
I did notice that vol up dwn pwr does restart it but nothing shows on the screen ever.

Just killed mine in a similar way. Opened it, unplugged battery to see if I could force it to reset...Nothing. PC recognizes it as QHSUS_DLOAD...Well, the CPU is alive, and knows its' software is missing. Problem now is finding a way to stick the bootloader back into the eMMC. I'll see if I can copy the procedure from other Moto MSM devices.

"Converting data partition..." Problem

Alright, allow me to summerize to you guys the series of screw ups that happened in the day that I've had my captivate.
Basically, it's like this. I got this phone from my brother (it used to be his). Now when I got it, I began basically erasing his contents and setting up mine. The Phone is on the Cognition OS and everything seemed fine.
Now, when I tried to set up my google account, it said I had to do a factory reset, I did that. Then I realized the market place app was no longer there :/
I did another factory reset, still didn't help, and started looking around for info.
I told my buddy this and he said he could fix it. So he get's the update.zip for rooting the phone, sets it up on the SD card, and goes to root the phone normally. Except when he restarts the phone after, it doesn't go to the set up screen, so he just starts it normally and enters the setup screen by holding home+volume up+power.
Then he presses the reinstall packages, and the phone seems to get to work on the update pack...
Now, every time I turn on the phone the voice says "converting data partition to optimize extension four", turns off, then repeats.
I've looked up this problem and it seems to have something to do with voodoo, but the causes in the other cases the causes were different.
Can someone please help me out here? I've also tried doing a hard reset by holding the volume down button and pressing power, but nothing seems to take me to the recovery mode.
HELP.
Did you pull the battery during this our did you let it run? Should let it run.
Does your phone boot up at all?
At&t or rogers?
Do you have a windows pc with usb drivers installed?
What its your build number, located under battery, something like 1008?
Answer these questions and we can get you back up and running
-Well after he did the reinstall thing we let it run for like 15 minutes, then he pulled the battery out.
-The phone only shows the AT&T screen, say's the "converting data partition..." thing, then goes blank and does it again. I've let it run for like 10-15 minutes before having to turn it off because I couldn't have the speech going off.
-I have a windows PC, and but I'm not sure if I have the drivers installed. I have Kies installed and when I plugged the phone in before Kies could recognize the phone (though it wouldn't fully connect, it would just say "connecting" on the kies screen).
-The Model is SGH-I897, that's the only relevant thing I see under the battery, that good enough?
Thanks a lot.
No, your phone has a build, on phone under battery, the word build is not listed. Something between 1006-1012
If we are going to do this you need to be active, I can not wait 20 minutes in between responses
Sorry the internet kinda crapped out actually.
And I see a 1007 between the bar codes, that it?
Yes
Before we get started try this
Take battery, sim, ext sd our of phone
Plug usb into pc but not phone
Put battery back in
Hold volume up and down, while holding plug in usb
Screen should come on with android with shovel
You can pull the battery again
Confirm this happened
Yep, it happened.
It may be easier if we use gtalk, log in on your pc using google id, send me an invite [email protected]. This way we know when each other respond

Have you gone back to stock and then reflashed? Seems like some files are getting corrupted. Because you have a voodoo kernel I would follow these steps. Make sure to back up.
1. Use Odin to flash a non vodoo kernel.
2. Flash stock rom and master clear
3. Reflash rom of choice if it is 2.2
3a. If you want 2.3 follow the tut on it.
4. Breath a sigh of releive lol

So were you flashing something? or did it just break? tried different cable/charger/wall socket?
Does the led light come on when plugged into usb port?
no led it was after i tried to flash something with colorOS in adb sideload after i wanted to cleanly wipe it and flash it new ( had some issues with the previous rom" but software related so i wanted to cleanly install everything ~ but didnt seem to work and then...
no led lights nothing ~
just the feedback over the vibration and black screen...and obv. the usb still seems to work ~
Saw this didn't read it but might help.

It's common for batteries when they get too underpowered to report false battery information. Charge it for 4 or so hours then attempt to boot it.
Same thing happened to me when trying to go to lollipop.
Here's what I did but no guarantees it will work.
Unplug phone
Hold power or power+down+up till it vibrates then let go and hold the key combo to get into recovery or download mode whichever one you want.
clean installs are love. clean installs are life
---------- Post added at 11:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:29 PM ----------
My phone would literally jot vibrate if I had it plugged up
clean installs are love. clean installs are life
solved..but not by doing nothing ^^
had to run windows 8.1 in a virtual machine..with it it was easy to follow the usual tutorial to recover from a softbrick

Please Help! OnePlus One Dead

Guys,
I have a OPO 64gb which is in Dead State (Hard-bricked) currently.
It doesn't switch on. Nothing comes up on the screen after pressing Power button. Can't even go to Recovery Screen or Download Screen. No display, no logo, no vibration. I even tried it after keeping it for charging overnight.
This happened after my cousin tried to flash something (I have no idea what he was doing).
I have gone through many thread on this and various other forums which gives solution of Unbricking the phone. However none of them helped, because my case is a little different.
In all those Recovery procedures, it is mentioned to connect the phone to PC and press Vol Up + Power button. When I connect the OPO to PC, it is not detected at all. Even it doesn't show up in the Device Manager (no QHSUSB_BULK, as many mentioned). There is absolutely nothing which indicates that the phone is connected to PC. This is were I get stuck because I don't know what needs to be done from here.
Has anyone ever faced such an issue? How to I bring back the OPO back to life from this state? Is there a solution to this?
Please help!
What did you end up doing???

Nexus 5 boot loop, Google logo, works only on cable

Hello
I'm having problem with my Nexus 5 .
It started when I wanted to replace the battery. I have been replacing it in another nexus 5, done it gently, with plastic tools. And that's what happened - constant boot loop. Only thing that appear are battery charging image and white Google text, restart and over and over... nothing more (android colorful text/logo) doesn't appear.
Firstly I've read that it might be a problem with a power button, that it's stuck inside and making these constant loops. I tried to gently make a taps and flicks on the phone but it wasn't helpful. I accessed motherboard, took it off and checked the button, it seemed fine. But I took it to a mobile service place, and they replaced the button. But that didn't help.
I can't power it on when it's not connected to the charger or PC. It doesn't even start looping when not connected via cable to anything. On the bootloader screen I can go up and down using volume keys, but when i try to access "Recovery menu" it turns off and start looping. Even trying to use "power off" option makes it loop.
So I flashed it using factory image from google: 6.0.1 (M4B30Z, Dec 2016) (hammerhead-m4b30z-factory-625c027b).
I did it manually, on bootloader screen, entering all these fastboot commands. one by one. Everything seemed fine, all flashed with success. Already was happy! But after rebooting, it's still bootlooping
I installed TWRP recovery img to it, (successfully), and tried to access recovery menu, but also started looping.
I don't know what to do anymore. I've read so many threads and I think everywhere problem disappeared after successful flashing. I tried also this method:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/help/nexus-5-stuck-boot-loop-lollipop-t3098632 But after flashing to 4.4.4 firmware, it was bootlooping..
Since it doesn't even react to power button on both batteries, is there some bigger hardware problem with a motherboard? A battery connector socket on motherboard is broken or something?

Have you tried putting the original battery back in it? Does it not correctly only when plugged in to a charger cable? Idk how but it seems either something bad happened to your emmc or there's something not plugged in correctly to the motherboard and something may have happened to whatever piece(s) that is. I'd just take everything out and put it back together, I had to do that when I replaced my screen, it's a pain in the ass but it worked again. Hopefully I could help you, or even give u a clue as to what it is
Try flashing 4.4.2 or an older stock ROM.

I did it now. On both batteries it doesn't even power on. Only on a cable plugged it it starts bootlooping, when disconnecting, it powers off.
I checked all the connectors and sockets on mainboard, especially the one connecting battery and they doesn't seem anyhow broken (but I'm not any tech specialist so..)

Please help me with my phone.

Hey everyone who reads this.
I'd like to start my topic with apologising if I post this in the wrong section.
So, I have a LG Spirit H440N LTE for about 3 years now, maybe a little less. I've always taken good care of it, both physically and in updates / security wise aswell.
My phone has been working flawlessly until the last 2 days. 2 days ago i was charging my phone, and when it vibrated (meaning its 100%) I pulled the cable off, and pressed the power button (power button locks - unlocks the screen) the screen didn't turn on. I was like "wow that's strange" but didn't care much, i just kept pressing the button every 5-6 seconds, nothing.
At that point I pulled the battery out, let it sit for a short time and then put it back, start the phone, I felt the vibration (meaning it's starting up) but no screen, so my first idea was that I need to get a new firmware and completely reinstall my phone, as it seems like it got bricked.. for no reason, by itself ? Strange thing but I accepted it and literally been googling for 9 hours now and I find more and more issues.
After I got LG FlashTool, drivers, and even 3 different firmwares, I wanted to start the phone in download mode to start upgrading, but even though I held down "volume up for 5 seconds and then put the usb cable in" nothing happened, no screen, my PC didn't recognise the phone either.
So I got a little bit mad and pulled the cable out from the phone, I wanted to remove the battery, but out of nowhere the phone suddenly started loading in, screen working completely fine, i could do whatever i want, so my first thing was to do a hard reset. After the hard reset I set up my usual stuff (important apps etc) and I locked the screen so my battery won't go down. Little did I know, I ****ed up again, because ever since that happened, I can't get my screen to work again. I tried everything I could but my PC still doesn't recognise the phone (even after a LOT of drivers being installed), charging the phone doesn't do anything. Regardless if I remove - put back the battery no screen, no screen in download - hard reset mode either, it's just completely black.
I'd like to have some sort of help, because I am just completely out of ideas, I really feel like a firmware change could fix the phone, but if the computer doesn't recognise it, I have no idea what to do.

You might be having hardware issues, such as a faulty power button. If you are the type of user that frequently presses the power button to lock/unlock the screen, this leads to excessive wear on the button components, this is why some users prefer to use the "tap to sleep" and "tap to wake" feature, to avoid wearing the power button out. On my LG, this feature is called "KnockOn", it's located in Accessibility settings.
