Hi everyone,
My friend brought me a SS captivate at&t, it gotting bootloop AND PC DOES NOT RECOGNIZE EVERYTHING ABOUT it, recovery mode not work. i tried everything but no result, different oem usb cables, different pc with different os, it just charged the phone, nothing else. (not because of driver, my cappy works fine with these pc). I sent it to a few repair center, they used the Riff box (something like that) to flash direct to phone's mainboard but couldnt save it. Now it still hanging in at&t logo and just only charging when connecting to pc
Many thanks to any ideas can make it revive. Im in Vietnam with no at&t store here. Sorry about my bad english. Please help me!

Did u try reinstalling the samsung usb drivers for our mobile ?
If it still doesn't solve your issue try connecting it to a different PC but install samsung usb drivers first on it before connecting.
Try & keep us updated if it resolves the issue.
Thanks for ur reply
phone is dead. its only need APX driver when attach USB.
I found the driver :

but what's next ?
RIFF doesn't detect it also .
@ usernome
Did you solve this problem. i have 2 phone in same position.
i just thinking its able to repair via Nvidia Boot Recovery mode.
but what is the procedure or what we have to do ?
0ps!! nothing found
I had the same problem with my phone the day I bought it.... it refused to start for over an hour for the 1st time no matter what I tried... the laptop detected a new apx when connected via usb.. Finally it started with sim and sd card removed... but after that it's been working rather fine apart from a few hiccups here n there... Still its very strange that this is happening..

Hi buddy someone got the same issue without doing anything to the handset, when given to the CC they told it needs a motherboard replacement. I feel it maybe the same in your case & maybe you have no option but to take it to the Samsung service center.
Hope it helps.

We need someone to make nvflash for the R !
Herpderp Defy.
NVFLASH was detecting the phone. The phone's capacitive buttons would light up when the connection was made. But I didn find SGR's Bootloader file anywhere, else would have tried to flash it. I read somewhere today that not clicking "Re-partition" option while using odin might corrupt the bootloader. But it had been weeks since I had used odin(CWM installation). So in no case the bootloader was damaged by odin. The thing to investigate is how come suddenly the phone goes into this mode, without any change in settings or modification ??

What happened: Actually i got stuck on the htc white logo issue a few months back and i gave my explorer A310e to htc sevice center. After 2 months they returned the phone with nothing but when i tried to boot the device using power key it just made a single vibration and even the white logo doesn't appear now. When i asked, they just said i rooted the device
The issue: my device htc explorer A310e doesn't boot but only makes a vibration when i tried to power on the device. Also tried to enter boot menu by pressing vol down+power keys but to no avail. Prior to getting into all this mess i rooted my device and did factory reset before giving it in service center. Guys please help me. i haven't used the device properly for even 20 days after buying it. Only after tens of hours of searching through different forums on this site i am posting it. Please take a litlle time off your busy schedule to solve this problem. i would be greatly indebted to you. noobest of the noob here. sorry for that. :crying:

Well. To flash RUU I need to flash some images which requires the phone to enter fastboot mode. But the phone is not showing any htc logo or boot menu by starting it. It is just making a vibration. Any other alternative to enter fastboot mode?

Well, those HTC guys sure did some damage.I think they erased hboot also. Well, did you try to connect phone to PC, adb and USB. sometimes, it automatically connects through fastboot,without mentioning
It in the phone,I think . So, try ruu anyway.
PS.Not a soft brick, but a hard one
You can try pming @legen_dary
tried connecting to PC and run adb and fastboot commands but the PC does not recognise the device when connected through USB it just makes a sound though like when u connect a pen drive. am i missing anything here.

Well, the HTC people may be dumb as f#(% around here, but you should never tell them you're rooted...
Now what you have seems like either a hard brick, or a display issue... If you dont wanna take matters into your own hands, go to the HTC service center, and tell them to repair your phone.. When they give the "your phone is rooted" excuse, tell them you'll pay the repair costs, but just to repair your phone... Take your dad or older brother or a couple of friends with you.. And make sure you can talk freely, n be ready to shout at them.. If you cant, take someone who can.. Htc crew in india is stupid enough to not be able to fix your problem, you can catch them red-handed..
Just remember that no matter what they tell you, you keep insisting that they repair your phone, under any circumstances... If they say its against company policy and all, demand to see the policy.. Talk to the goddamn owner of the center, regional manager, national manager, etc..
Unko aata nhi hoga na, isliye woh log har type ki excuse denge... Agar aise hi excuse dete rhe, to last mein taunt maarke aana, ki "service center khol ke baithe ho, aur ku6 aata nhi hai.. Bandh kr do!!" or something like that...
If nothing works, then come back here, and we'll try it the "hard" way...

Firstly thanx a lot for your comprehensive reply. but the sad news is i did the cursing part already as soon as i found the no display on the phone. Infact they are ready to repair the device but only at a cost of 5.5K, which i feel is a little too much for a mobile of worth 8.5K. And when i asked about erasing the hboot issue for a simple soft brick problem, they said and i quote, " sir its not possible to identify the issue unless we open the device but once the device is opened there might be some problems but you could get it repaired for quoted price". only after i explained them how dumb they sound the customer care personnel asked me to give the device once again at the service center from where they would send it to bangalore like they did previously. as i know it would take another 2 months to get my device back and also i don't have much hope on the htc guys at bangalore as well, as they quoted 5.5K for the repair. So what do you think I should do because spending 5.5K for an 8.5K mobile doesn't seem justified for me.
Hmm.. Ok.. What they're probably gonna do to "repair" your phone, is that they'll switch out the circuits with another pico..
You can do that urself.. You need to find a damaged pico.. You'll have to face some costs.. But if you can find a body/display damaged pico, whose board inside is intact, we can try and swap it with yours..
This method is also not full proof, and it may or may not work...
But worth a try if you really wanna revive your phone..
PS : have you asked them what the issue is?? And what they're gonna do to fix it?? What is it that they're doing, thats gonna cost you 5.5k, for a 20 day old phone??
If not, ask them.. Talk directly to the Bangalore service center if you must..

If his device doesnt respond at all, to neither fastboot nor adb, then there's a very slim chance of something "software" working...

You are right. The stupid HTC guys damaged your phone. Under normal circumstances Android doesn't even have read access to the HBOOT partition even when it's rooted.
If the hardware is not damaged the phone can be revived even if all partitions including the HBOOT and radio are wiped! Anyone with suitable JTAG hardware can do it.

If your device is detected by fastboot then you can try flashing an RUU. Do you have the necessary drivers? Have you installed the latest version of HTC Sync?

HTC Sync includes the USB drivers that are necessary for your device to get detected by fastboot. Has your device been previously detected by HTC Sync?
Also try different USB ports (USB 1.0, 2.0 and 3.0)

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)

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!

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...
