Hi all,
First of all I know there are tons of threads about unbricking OPO but I did not find anyone with similar case as mine (at least who got replied to).
Basically I have what seems to be a hard bricked OPO. Here are the symptoms:
- Black screen, does not boot.
- Only vibrates when I press and hold power button (with any other combination of volume buttons).
- When I plug it to the computer, no notification sound, not seen in Device manager (this is what am trying to accomplish in this thread, as the rest should be easier)
- After leaving it charging for a while, the phone heats up
- I tried plugging it to Computer while battery is disconnected, and same result
So I am hoping that the phone is not completely dead as it vibrates when I try to start it, and seems to be charging battery.
Is that true? If so how do I get it to be detected by the computer? Or simply it can die and vibrate?
Thank you for looking at this.

First of all thanks for your reply.
I have seen this thread but as you can see to uninstall the old driver I need to:
' Go to Device Manager, right click on the bricked USB device (QHSUSB_BULK or Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008) and go to Properties, click on Driver, then select Uninstall. Check the box to remove driver files, if prompted...'
But the device is not seen by the device manager.
Someone suggested in an other thread that I need just to press (not hold) power + volume button.
I will try that and let you know.
Just for the record, I did not manage to fix it. I just sold it for someone who needed screen.
Thanks.

I flashed my Lenovo P780 with the new ROM. On reboot in teh bottom left corner it said something about about dll not found. After I shut it down again I could not start it up any more (just blank screen).
But when I plug the phone on USB it does start charging (LED is lighting up) and the PC makes the sound associated with an external harddrive being plugged in.
Is my phone bricked? Or is there any chance I can revive it?

Press the red reset button underneath the phone, connect your phone to PC, wait a while and your PC should be able to detect it. As soon as it has connected, start flash back official stock ROM via SP Flash Tool.
Same problem

This happens to me also in STOCK rom :/
I CAN NEVER RESTART MY PHONE WITHOUT DOING THIS NEXT PART
Anyway here's how to handle it
Press the reset button for 3-5 seconds
wait around 2-5 minutes - DO NOT POWER ON!
now power on, everything should be working, crappy lenovo software (but really good HW :/ ) , Certainly, I'll know now to stay away from them.
I have lenovo P780
Powet button is not working
And my phn get switched off
How i start phn
Where power button is not working
I got an HTC One S from a friend who got it from another friend. I don't have any history on the device. He gave it to me to fix because I'm the only Android user he knows and his phone won't start.
If I keep the power button pressed, the capacitive buttons flash exactly 15 times and occasionally the phone vibrates. I don't have a One S so not sure if that indicates that phone was started or shutdown.
Neither fastboot devices not adb devices shows the device. But every once in a while when it vibrates, if the phone is connected to the PC with a USB cable, it beeps - like it's connected. I don't see Android Phone in Device Manager. But I see a MTP USB Device with a yellow exclamation mark. Uninstalling and reinstalling HTC Drivers didn't fix the problem.
I have tried Power+Volume Down key. Shining a torch on it (seemed to work for a few people), keeping it plugged into the mains for 3 days, kept it in the freezer for 2-3 minutes (also seemed to work for one person).
I think when I first got the phone and plugged it into the mains, I saw a red charging light. But I may be mistaken. In any case, there is no light anymore indicating charging. But I don't think that's the problem.
I have no idea whether the device is bricked or not. And if there is any way to fix it. Samsung has Odin which makes any Samsung phone practically unbrickable. I haven't used any HTCs since the G1 so have not been in touch too much with the HTC development. But from reading, it seems that messing around with Romming with S-ON can cause the phone to be bricked. And perhaps that's what my friend or his friend did. Does this sound like that's what could have happened?
Thanks for any pointers.
I dont think the device is bricked. its just a little harder to press the power and volume down when you see the buttons flashing.
just check and do these steps.
connect the mobile to charger and see if the orange light comes and stays on
if the orange light is there, press the power button and keep your finger ready near the volume down button
you should keep the power button pressed and as soon as the orange light disappears you should press the volume down button until you end up in boot loader screen
give this a few tries and see if the device boots up in bootloader

The problem is that I no longer see any light at all when I connect the phone to a charger. It's probably fully charged. Would that show a green light? If so, that's not visible either. I have a feeling that the bootloader has got wiped out or something.
I read in one post that the phone may be stuck in the QHUSB-DLOAD mode.
So I followed the steps in http://unlimited.io/qhsusbdload.htm. But that didn't help. I don't remember the exact statement since I was running an Ubuntu Live CD. But the gist was that it couldn't connect to the phone so presumably it's not stuck in QHUSB-DLOAD mode. Although the site states that it will NOT fix QHSUSB_DLOAD issues encountered by flashing ROMs - which may well be what may have happened.
I understand that running an RUU for the HTC One S may set it back to factory state. But for that I need fastboot to work.
Hello, i bought a NEXUS 5 off of a guy, who said that he plugged in the charger and went to sleep, at the morning the phone was dead, no reaction etc. I tried pressing power+vol up, nothing happens, power+vol down, nothing happens. Then i plugged it to my PC and when i press power+both volume buttons, the pc recognises a "Quectel QDLoader 9008". When i charge, no lights come up, i tried those power+volume combinations and the screen is not turning on even for a second. Only the thing that i can do is plug to pc and power+both vol to get it recognised as "Quectel QDLoader 9008".
Any help would be appreciated!!!
I just disconnected battery and reconnected it, now it does like that:
I hold power button
windows shows unknown device malfunctioned
nexus 5 screen is black, no signs of life
Seem like Bricked :/
But it can be fixed as far I know with fastboot flashing

Hello everyone
Please help me
I have a Sony Xperia Z3 Dual D6633 with Android 4.4.4
Firmware is D6633_23.0.F.1.74_CE
I tried to install TWRP on my phone using this tutorial
https://forum.xda-developers.com/z3/development/root-stock-kernel-twrp-v01-test-28-09-t2889794?__utma=248941774.950623471.1412017766.1412017766.1412017766.1&__utmb=248941774.1.10.1412017766&__utmc=248941774&__utmx=-&__utmz=248941774.1412017766.1.1.utmcsr=l.facebook.com%7Cutmccn=(referral)%7Cutmcmd=referral%7Cutmcct=/lsr.php&__utmv=-&__utmk=228295838
Since the links in the thread are down it was hard for me to get the bootZ3dualmonxtest01.img file
But after an hour of googleing finally I got it from another Android forum https://mdforum.ru/showthread.php?t=16534
Then, as mentioned in the tutorial I went into bootloader / fastboot mode and entered following command
fastboot flash boot bootZ3dualmonxtest01.img
But it didn't work. Now my phone is bricked. It's powered off and I can't turn it on again
It doesn't respond to anything
Pressing Powerbutton - Nothing
Pressing Power + Volume Up/Down - Nothing
Hold Volume down and connect to PC - Nothing
Connect to 230V Adapter for charging - Nothing
ADB doesn't recognize the phone
Flashtool responds "Device disconnected"
So I can't flash back stock ROM
Please help me out. What went wrong? How can I fix it? Is it repairable or is my phone hard bricked?
Thank you for your answers
Edit:
After several hours of googleing and trying I found a solution that worked for me
Great thanks to StuartjG who posted the steps in this thread

My Z3 would not power up and no charge LED when cable plugged in. Finally found this solution on Sonymobile support website which fixed my phone!
To force the device to restart
Detach the SIM card slot cover.
Using the tip of a pen or similar object, press and hold down the small OFF button (generally indicated by the text "OFF") until the device has emitted three vibrations, and then release the OFF button. The device turns off automatically.
Charge the device until a charging icon appears on the screen.
Turn on your Xperia™ device.
If a forced restart procedure as described above doesn't succeed in turning on your device, you should try another kind of forced restart - the 2-minute restart procedure.
To force a 2-minute restart
Detach the SIM card slot cover.
Using the tip of a pen or similar object, press and hold down the small OFF button (generally indicated by the text "OFF") for 120 seconds (ignoring any vibrations), and then release the OFF button.
Charge the device until a charging icon appears on the screen.
Turn on your Xperia™ device.
I had to hold the 'off' button for about 60 seconds before the phone vibrated and sprung into life - phew!

In my case there were no vibrations. I just held the button down for 120sec and it worked. Then I was able to flash back stock ROM

I just posted a bunch of my trial and error work at:
Post in thread 'Unable to enter EDL' https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/unable-to-enter-edl.4288003/post-86868743
So far my thought on the LED flashing on my phone is that it happens when there is a "power-up". So if the battery is dead or disconnected, I'll get a flash when it's plugged in. If the battery isn't dead and it's connected, I don't think it flashes, and I assume it has something to do with power already being provided.
The confusing thing to me is that if I hold the power button for about 10 seconds, while plugged in, with the battery disconnected, the LED will flash. Also, if I hold the volume-down button, it will flash about every 20 seconds. But it doesn't flash when doing either of those things while the battery is connected.
Does any of this apply to your phone?
