[Q] Razr HD Bricked need help!

I think I bricked my phone. I rooted after the 9.18 update by rolling back to the previous version with RSD Lite about a month ago. Everything was going great. I answered a phone call and after I hung up my phone started rebooting not going past the Droid animation. I booted into Fast boot to rerun the RSD Lite process and go back to MR-2, but in the process I think I lost the connection with the data cable. Now my phone has a black screen and will not talk to my computer. I have the latest drivers but my devise manager shows the driver QHSUSB_DLOAD with the yellow exclamaition mark and will not update.
Does anyone know what I can do?

Can you get into fastboot mode? Windows will eat your drivers and ****out the 1s and 0s. Reload them and try again.

Remind me if I'm doing it right.
Vol Down and Power for 8-10 seconds.
Vol Down and Vol Up and Power for 8-10 seconds.
Press down twice to select Fastboot mode and then press Vol up to select it.

Yes, with your phone unpluged, Vol Down and Vol Up and Power for a few seconds to get into the boot menu.

[Q] Bricked : Flashing sbl1

I was trying to flash BlissPop. It didn't flash. So, I decided to flash fastboot image of CM11s 44.
I issued this command :
Code:
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash sbl1 sbl1.mbn
fastboot reboot-bootloader
The flash sbl1 command gave an error.
I rebooted bootloader. The phone turned off, but it never turned on.
I don't know how could it brick my phone, because I've done it a few times without any error.
My battery was on 65% when I was doing all this. So, I don't suspect battery has died.
But, I'm charging the phone anyway. There is no lead, but the power bank shows that battery is taking charge.
When I connect the phone to PC, it shows no signs of any device connected. Device manager doesn't show any thing/any refresh.
I've tried to push the power button for about a minute for 5 times, as 1+1 site says.
I've tried vol up + power and vol down + power buttons. It doesn't boot it.
I've no access to fastboot, recovery, OS, anything.
Please, suggest me solutions.

Did you flash the firmware updates before you flashed bliss? There is a toolkit out there, linked in bliss thread, on how to unbrick. I'll see if I can't find it.

First look at this perhaps. If not there is a toolkit out there to flash back to stock. Should be able to communicate w the phone if it can turn on at all.

Thanks. I looked at it.
But, as you said I can't do anything till the phone turns on even once.
BTW, I highly suspect battery drain, because I was in TWRP for long to take backup, flashing MultiROM, etc. TWRP is known to not allow charging, as reported by some people.
Can you tell me whether flashing sbl1 could have bricked it or not? It didn't fail to flash in past and it never caused problem.
I had flashed CM12 firmware update before flashing BlissPop. Could reflashing CM11s fastboot image over it cause problem. I think it should not, because fastboot image replace all things. What's your opinion?

Had the same problem. Try first leave it charging for 12 hours after that plug it in. Then get into fastboot this is not easy. Just hold vol up and power together for atv least 5 Sec.

I guess its possible. But I would do what falastine said. Charge it for some time. With a soft brick it may not show anything on the screen but could actually be on. So be patient trying to get the toolkit to find the phone. I've heard in another thread someone's phone did in fact connect but nothing was on the screen

any progress on this? i think the exact same thing happened to me. was trying to flash back to CM11s using fastboot, but it died. now i dont get anything at all. no response to the chrager, or the computer or anything.
ive tried holding the power button, holding the vol keys with the pwr button, but no avail.
let me know if you figured it out!

I left the phone in charge for 24 hours using original charger and wire.
Tried long presses for multiple times - nothing happens.
Tried vol up/ vol down combinations with power button for long nothing happens.
I am now waiting for 12 hours and then will plug it again, as some thread said.
In between I'm trying to download a tool from here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/general/tool-oneplusrecovery-tool-v1-0-restore-t2991851
I hope it detects my phone.

There is no progress.
It appears that we are in same situation.
I highly suspect dead battery, instead of dead phone. Anyway, I'll post updates.
Please, share if anything works for you.

I had the same problem and had to restore the phone with this tool:

open your device manager in your pc and use volume up and power button while connected to pc to get into qualcom mode.most probably it would be detected as android fastboot interface just click on it and update the driver to qualcom usb serial interface then use http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/general/tool-oneplusrecovery-tool-v1-0-restore-t2991851 this tool to recover

I could understand that once my phone is detected as even unknown device, I can install drivers and try to recover through the tool you mentioned.
But, the problem is that my phone is not recognized as anything. The Device Manager shows no reaction when I connect the phone to computer.
I have disabled driver signature on my Windows 8.1 64 bit. I've Qualacom drivers installed. Rebooted computer in disabled signature mode.
I've connected my device through official cable and I've tried the key combination mentioned.
My other devices show up when connected to PC, but 1+1 doesn't.
Any other thing which I could try.
I had left my phone in charging for 24 hours, but it doesn't wake it up.

So this is how i did it.
1. install the drivers from OPO (located in the .zip file from this tool https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/t...ks-etc.237827/ )
2. Open your device manager (Start - right click on computer - properties - devices manager)
3. Press on power + vol up for like 10 sec until you see a device showing up (called QHSUSB_BULK)
4. Download the qualcomdriver ( https://www.dropbox.com/s/vgujdut93m341qm/Qualcomm 2012.rar?dl=0 ). Right click on this devices and click on "Update Driver Software" -> "Browse my computer for driver software" -> locate the Qualcomm 2012\fre\Windows7 8 or vista folder depending on your setup. Update the driver.
5. Now the OPO tool should recognize your device. I turn off all my network connections so the usb device can't find other drivers. (in case windows overwrite the driver).

The hard part is that I could not get the phone detected by PC as anything.
I followed the same key combination which you mentioned. It doesn't help.
Can you tell me if battery is totally depleted, will it be possible for phone to be detected?
I've tried to charge my phone with various chargers and power banks. The battery stays cold, the charger stays cold, power bank blinks and get depleted, but phone is not vibrating even on long press.
I've tried on virtual PC, a XP machine. And on other real XP PC.
Thanks for your help.
If you have some more suggestions based on information given by me, kindly post it again.

Even if your battery is depleted it should get detected in your machine when u press volume up and power while its connected to your pc.hold it for a minute this combination should show something also keep your pc volume up to hear any port connect discconect sounds.If this doesnt happen then your hardware is dead no other option but try to give it to opo for service.

So, nothing ever comes on the screen? Does the phone vibrate if you hold the power button for 20 seconds? If so, this might be of help, if it sounds like it's bricked: http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/help/guide-unbrick-oneplus-one-t3013732

Vodafone Smart 4 Mini

I've broken my phone! I was rooted, and was installing a custom rom. It worked fine for a few hours, and now the phone won't boot up in normal, recovery or fastboot modes. All I get is the android logo and then a white screen for a few seconds, and this repeats until i get fed up and turn it off again.
My device is a Vodafone 785 and my pc is running Windows 7 with the latest drivers installed and updated.
When I plug the phone into the computer, it tries to register but the flashtool says the device is not recognized, so I can't re-install my recovery image.
I've been at this for about three weeks now, and I cannot for the life of me figure out how to get this working again. Can someone please help?

Hi, try this:

Yes I tried that one and most of the other threads about this damn phone. It won't boot in recovery. I've tried Power button and volume up AND Power button and volume down. All I get is android logo for a few seconds and white screen for another few seconds and this will loop until the end of time. Using SP Flashtool, the computer won't recognize the device when I plug in the USB with either the battery removed or inserted into the phone.

Help - my honor 8 was block - No access Fastboot Mode or Debugging Mode

Hello,
I downgraded my Honor 8 via Rollback and installed the Rom FRD-L09C432B131.
But my phone is stuck on the blue Android startup screen.
I can not use the Volume +, Volume - or Power buttons.
All I can do is let it turn off by itself when the battery is at 0%.
When I put it on, it turns on by itself. Arrives on a blue screen. Reboot once and then stays eternally on the blue screen while heating up enormously.
I have no access to the Recovery, erecovery or via the computer (by plugging it into a USB port).
Thanks

Once your phone turns off, press power button amd volume up button together. This should take you to recovery. Or you can't access this at all?

I can not turn off my phone. It goes off when the battery is at 0%.
If I put on USB or mains, it recharges and restarts automatically. And I can not stop it ...
When I plug it into a USB port, the Power, Volume + or Volume buttons are ineffective.
And when it's plugged into the PC, it does not show up!
So I do not have access ... except perhaps by a software that would force the connection ... or a manipulation other than Power / Volume ..

When I say reboots, it is a program to display the Android blue screen and hangs on it!

does it say android or honor?
going to dload is kinda tricky sometimes and should be done when connected to wall adapter, not pc
can you keep vol- and power pressed while your phone is connected to pc. keep them pressed even after the phone restarts. dont let go. it might take some time. does it go to fastboot?

Ohhh, sorry my bad

dats prolly because he has mismatched files for the os he's running. he should deffo check if he can go to fastboot. the fact that he cant go to dload doesnt really mean anything because i cant do it either 40% of the time. its a bit iffy. the fact remains, if it boots to honor logo, means some type of os is up there. if he can go to fastboot he can flash stock recovery/recovery2 and try dload again. without proper recovery combo he wont be able to flash anything anyways and warranty prolly wont cover it since its users fault, esp if he has unlocked warning.

Similar to me, only way is go into bootloader mode, then charge the phone for awhile, you cant do nothing cuz of 0% battery, flash stock recovery, update via dload or direct wifi recovery.

He can't go to fastboot

if he completely bricked it, he'd be stuck at black screen/android logo, not honor logo. either he's not telling us everything (ran out of juice while upgrading / error while flashing / flashing wrong rom), there is no chance all key partitions got wiped if the process finished successfully. meaning at least he should be able to fastboot cause thats the first thing flashing alongside bootloader. no way any type of system partition is up there, and bl/fb is not, even if they are from a different OS. h8 can be stubborn at times, but keeping the cable in pc and holding vol_down+power for good 20s deffo will force it to at least reboot. thats the only way. if this doesnt work, you should take it to a service center.

I guess it's better if he takes it to the service center

Nothing works. So I have to send it to the service center

Thank you all !

Nexus 5 stuck in Google logo

I did a huge mistake. I wiped the System and the cash and data on the phone and reboot it, then the phone stuck in google Logo. The problem is I can’t go to Recovery mode because Both up and Down Volume Botton are broken. Is there any way to activate the adb, in this case, to turn the Recovery mode, then flash a new Rom? I tried the adb reboot command, but the phone was not recognized.
please i need Help

I don't know if this will be of help, but turn off your phone completely. Plug a charger, wait till offline-charging animation starts, then try ADB.
I remember I rescued a Galaxy Note3 this way, but it was embraced by Resurrection Remix. So maybe the Kernel allowed ADB .. IDK.
