Received an OTA notification and installed. At last check, was at the "updating apps" stage. Went to bed. This morning, nothing. Won't turn on at all. Was plugged in all night. No splash screen, no vibration, nothing. Totally dead. Power button + Down button doesn't work. Any hope of recovery?
Update
Also getting - unknown usb device (device descriptor request failed) / code 43 when trying to plug the phone into my computer.
Did you try holding volume down and connecting phone to computer? Try disconnecting the battery for a few minutes, reconnect the battery, and try to power up.
If for some reason it's an issue with the bootloader, there's a backup bootloader, hold vol up + power
Also something to try is LGNPST, that can reflash stock firmware
Power button+volume down doesn't work? The device might be fried. That might also be why your PC doesn't recognize your phone, although the very fact that your PC does recognize that there is something trying to connect to it, makes me doubt my hypothesis.
I'd try to adb reboot it, I think the phone doesn't have to be turned on for that to work. Are you familiar with adb commands? That way I was able to revive my old HTC that was stuck in bootloop and volume buttons didn't work so couldn't get into recovery. Just turned off the phone, plugged into the PC and adb reboot recovery or something, don't remember the exact command line, but you can find guides about it easily.
damn ! i have the same problem after the last OTA update
Maybe it's volume up while inserting the USB cable? Can't remember as I haven't used a nexus 5 for months.

well i had trouble installing the trickroid v7 on my [S3] and it will say OS not installed.
then after many tries, of pulling the usb in and out and restarting several times to bootlocker
I cannot open to bootlocker anymore and the phone seems to died and not be able to charge.
WHEN I HOLD POWER button and volume down, all 3 soft touch keys lit up for 6~7 seconds, then the the black screen flashes a green line and off.
I cannot connect to the computer through usb either, for some reason.
i have the same problem.my phone worked fine, i unlocked bootloader, installed recovery and rooted. yesterday i put my phone on charging and today it was dead??? it flashes 7 times while holding vol down + power and then nothing happens.
EDIT:
i got it working!!! i connected it to pc, run adb command: adb reboot-bootloader and i got bootloader menu, after that i went into recovery and i did factory defaults and rebooted phone,now it's charging and everything is OK!

this is what i have done and got it working. connect phone to pc that has installed htc drivers, hold down volume down button + power, phone flashes 7 times and orange led is working now. after that go to adb, type adb devices and my phone serial number was shown. after that i did the adb reboot-bootloader and my phone was alive again.
p.s. i tried also with HTC One S All-In-One Toolkit V1.1,before i made it, to send command, but phone led only show orange light and again went off. u can give a try.... if that dont work, then i think phone is dead and ready for repair :/
First of all sorry for my english
I have bricked my inspire 4g eng s-off i was just trying to root my inspire 4g without unlocking bootloader noob i just know nothing about unlocking bootloader i used htc quick root software when the process start the software requested me an hboot image and unfortunatly i located to recovery image and phone turned off now when ever i try to turn it on it gives three vibrates vol down +pwr five vibrates please help m
volume up +voldown+pwr button five vibrates and a stable green led vol down +pwr three vibrates and red blinking led just pwr on button three vibrates red blinking led
If your bootloader wasn't unlocked, I don't see how you could have bricked it. Also, do you know if you had usb debug mode turned on? You couldn't have flashed an image with a locked bootloader and the scripts won't work either since the adb/fastboot utilities cannot talk to your phone if debug mode is off.
At any rate, pull out the battery for a few minutes, reseat the battery, connect the phone to your pc, hold down vol- and power and see if you can get to a bootloader screen. Even if it seems to boot but hangs at the green htc logo, you should still be able to issue adb commands and recover.
Once the phone boots, on your pc, open a command prompt and type the command "adb devices" without quotes to see if your phone is recognized. Let us know the status then.

Qualcomm mode is what happens when you hold volume down instead of up while booting. A common issue with the inspire is the volume rocker malfunctioning and becoming "stuck". Usually it is volume up that gets stuck. Either way you will have to probably repair the volume rocker by replacing it. With the age of the device though I don't think it's worth it to spend any money on repairs. It's almost 3 years old now. I know it seems concidental to happen at the same time your trying to unlock it but it can happen. If it is something that went wrong while you were trying to unlock it your pretty much in the same boat. If it only goes to Qualcomm mode there is nothing you can do.

Then something happened when you tried to unlock it. If you can't access the device via fastboot or adb then it is not fixable. Reflashing a boot img or hboot would be what you would want to do if you could gain access.
ok, so after rooting and trying to install CWM, my phone will not boot, only blinks red light. I think when i was trying to flash img files over to the phone, i lost connection and wasnt able to transfer the bootloader.imgs to the phone. Following this, when i plugged it in, i would get numerous drives trying to open, but said they needed to be formatted. I then tried the UBUNTU method, which led to my phone not even being recognized... but my question is, why is it so tough flash a recovery to the phone now? I remember when I had my S3, it was much easier to do this....i have a lg g2 if that helps....i have tried all the guides, and like i said, all i get now when i hold the power button and volume down, is 8 blinks of the red light...has anyone had this problem, if so what did you do to solve the problem?
Can you get into download mode?
Power completely off.
Plug the Usb cable into a computer.
Hold vol-up while plugging in the Usb to the phone.
If you can get that, then you can use LGFlashTool to reset.

Hallo people,
I have a very big problem with my d6633. I installed tonight TWRP - so fas, so good. After installing TWRP asked me to root the device, I said YES. My bootloader was unlocked. Then I couldn't exit TWRP. After every reboot the device started into TWRP. Now I can not start the device. I tried with Power+ Volume+, reset button - nothing.
Any suggestions?
Thanks for your help.

How much % did it have before you started the procedure?
Did you try holding down vol+ and then plugging it into USB?
Hello Jkay7,
Thanks for your support. My solution was to leave the device switched off over the night. Connected via original cable. Today in the morning my dyouzhengwen evice was detected via flash tool and as youzhengwen suggested I could flash the original ftf file.

Any help would be appreciated
Sony Xperia Z3 Dual D6633
I have tried just about every method seen. My problem with the flashtool or PC companion is that the phone is recognized by the computer but I can only start to turn the device on which I don't believe it actually boots. Broken display and new display does not power on.
Or it connects in fastboot by holding volume up when connecting. This shows a blue led.
But trying to connect in flash mode by holding power down just makes the led flash red then green continuously.
And for the pc companion it always says the connection was unsuccessful once the led turns green on the device.
I got the phone for only $40 in this condition. So I cannot say what entirely was wrong or what it's last working state was.
I bought a new screen and power flex cable. As well as a back plate and tempered glass protectors. I was going to wait until everything works perfect speakers and all before I sealed it tight with water proof adhesive stickers.
Even before I bought the new power flex the computer recognized it and the battery health and charge %. The battery was able to charge. But I couldn't turn the device on.
The computer confirmed that it had been at 29% after some time charging and then 100% after leaving it on charge.
Now with the new screen and power cable the phone still does nothing if not plugged it. The light was red at first, but then yellow, then after some time green when the battery fully charged. This was again even before the new parts.
I have to plug it in to try anything.
It goes red then starts to turn on and turns green.
But I hear no sound, get no vibrations, the computer only sees it as the phone and shows absolutely nothing on the removable disk. Just blank when I click on the drive volume. But it is seen as an Xperia D6633 phone or fastboot Android device.
I've tried the reset button, holding power and volume up, volume down, all three. Tried my factory cable. Different cables, different ports, uninstalling it from service manager and letting the flash tool recognize and install it.
I also tried the new display on the old power flex and the old display on the new power flex.
Nothing changed, no vibrations, no sounds, system never actually fully starts as far as I can tell, and cannot connect in flash mode only fast boot. And the flashable file is only seen in flash mode. Fastboot can only see the folder but it is ready to flash files as far as I can tell.

That's a lot of money you're putting into an (apparently) broken phone Brave!
Okay so what happens if you hold Vol+ while it's shut down and then connect it to USB, the LED turns blue, right?
So why does flashing it from there on not work?

Well it didn't seem that broken at first and both it and the display were only about 37 piece. Power flex was almost 10. Seemed like a rightful price.
Yes the led turns blue and it is in fastboot mode. The flash file seems to only be readable for flashing in flash mode "volume down". I can see the folder of the flash file in fastboot mode " volume up ", but not in a flashable format.
And when connecting " volume down " it fails a connection while the led just flashes green to red to green to red continually
Two updates
1. I thought I should mention that when I do plug the phone in to a charger or computer the top does get a bit warm or hot as well as the led turns on. Different color depending.
2. With much fiddling and trying if holding the volume down button for different lengths of time while connecting up a computer I finally got it to connect in flash mode and flashed a file...... No change.
At this point maybe I should try a new battery for the hell of it even though this one seems to be working.
Or there is a minute hardware damage somewhere. Maybe the power ic? Or s capacitor?
I was with my z3 in twrp and clicked on " Restart Bootloader". After that my screen went black and i cant use it anymore. I tried all methods of getting my Z3 restarted to boot again. Even if I plug my device to a charger my LED isnt lighting up. The only thing that i found out is: If I press long time at VOL- while pluged in USB cable on PC it dected a "Unknown Device". If i check the the Hardware ID of the device in that "mode" it says "device descriptor failure".
My restart methods:
- Pressed Power + VOL-
- Pressed the OFF button in Simtray
- Charged it a while to check if its "Sudden Death"
Can someone give me help ? Any solutions for that ?
If you haven't already, try to install the fastboot drivers for your device (just search for fastboot z3) and se if the PC detects it if you plug it in whilst holding vol+/vol-.
If so you can probably either try to restart it with a fastboot command (needs adb installed on your pc) or reflash stock (data gets wiped I think) with Flashtool.
Are you on unmodified stock or rooted?
try the rubber band method put four or maybe five rubberbands on the power button and the vol up button tightly for about 5-7 min after that remove the ruberband and then power on the device .This method worked for me when I wiped my system and rebooted I also had the same issue as you did .
