[Q] Help Un-bricking Sensation 4G?

So I checked the existing pages about bricked Sensations but I didn't
see any predicaments that were quite this bad let alone a fix. Anyways;
Was updating to newest firmware 3.24 because I was getting ready to flash a
new ICS rom. Updated fine in Hboot, and then I somehow managed to reboot before I could get into clockwork recovery mod. Got caught in a boot-loop so I
pulled the battery to try to get back into fastboot and it wouldn't even turn on.
So I pulled the battery again, held the power button to drain any power and put the battery back in and tried it again. It will not charge, the led will not turn on, and it gets a black screen with the back-light on. Can not get into anything, kinda looking like the internal memory was wiped somehow.
So are there any fixes? Or am I screwed? If so if I call tmobile will they replace it (in the event that everything was wiped)? Any help appreciated!

Do you have ADB installed? Plug in the phone and power on, then see of your PC can see the phone by going to a command prompt and running
Code:
adb devices

tried it, doesnt show up

I'm just looking at some stuff about QPST, which might help you - I'll post back once I understand it
Have you tried downloading a stock RUU and running that?

Well, i am in the same situation with my sensation, it doesn't power on and when connected to the pc it shows up as QHSUSB_DLOAD and the driver was not found auto by windows
i'm going to provide the links to the program and the driver in the thread i started to get the QCN File...
The standard answer provided here in that situation is that your phone is bricked and you need to send it to HTC for warranty reparation...I am going to try to get a DIY method to reflash your phone from scratch (as now it's waiting for a ROM to be download (Qualcomm High Speed USB DownLOAD mode)

How much help can you be? simple, i need a dump of the rom which runs on your Sensation, but not an .img file, but a .qcn file, QPST provides that feature, but it hardcodes you EMEI and serial into it, therefor i need to get all the info about your phone, all numbers you can provide that are listed on the box in order to get searching for those variables in that file which is dumped...
When found i can change them into my vars, to try and flash the phone back to life... i geuss it'll be a work off about a week to get everything found in a 400MB file or so

OK well I already have QPST and the QHSUSB drivers downloaded but QPST cannot see my phone. I found something on an LG forum explaining how to get the COM port number from Device Manager but my phone doesn't show up the same way.
Can you tell me how to find my COM port?

Yep
Windows 7?
Open your Control Panel from your start menu and put it on classic view, in order to see the device manager link, open this.
There you will see Ports (COM & LPT)
Unfold this and you will see your device there with a (COMx) behind it
in the QPST configurator you will have a tab with the name: Ports
click this
on the right bottom there is a button: Add New Port
click this, a dialog will open where you can see your ports, click the port which is of your phone, if not seen, just type COMx (x being the number stated in the device manager)
And press OK
As from now you will be able to see your phone on the first tab normally seen
now go to the menu "Start Clients"
SOFTWARE DOWNLOAD
If you see that the port is not correct on top, click the Browse next to it in order to choose the correct port, you'll see it will detect your phone then...
Goto the Backup tab and click browse, give the file a place and name, press start...
Then wait i guess, i am not in the possition to know how long it would take...
Now you have the QCN file made as i need in my post
This is a hexadecimal dump of your phone in Quallcomm Bundle Numeric format, with that we can start figuring out, how to get your serial number, emei etc out, to infuse our own to get our phone back up and running by using the restore function of the QPST program
Clear enough? :s

It might also be that due to the fact that your phone is actually a still working exemplar that you need to follow the guide here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1180211 in order to get your phone connected in QPST

This is where I come unstuck. I don't have Ports in my Device Manager. I'm on a laptop that doesn't have serial or parallel ports, so that is probably why.

Many thanks, i'm gonna PM you with my info (as promissed in my thread)

So I've gone back to ENG HBOOT 1.17 and Telstra stock ROM, Clockwork Recovery 5.0.0.8 and rooted. I have USB debugging on and am in diagnostic mode but I still don't get HTC Diag device or anything like it in Device Manager. I've shown hidden devices in there too.
The only phone related item I have is Portable Device, when expanded it says D:\ (which is my SD card drive in the phone). I tried changing USB mode from charge to disk to sync and every other option but still don't see the device in Device Manager.
Not sure what else I can do here .... Plus it's pretty late and I want to restore my phone before bed. If you can think if anything I've done wrong or anything I can try differently, please let me know and I'll try tomorrow.

No problem man, i know there is a time difference between Belgium and Australia
Have you checked that the phone is in charge mode and not in disk drive mode?

[Q] Serious problem HTC sensation XE

I have very bad problem with my phone. I wanted to install the cm 11 and its gapps, the cm I was able to install the gapps but it gave me the error status7. I read that to solve this problem I had to update the CWM. I installed from the recovery 6.0.0.4, and since recovery from I told him to do the reboot, you aren't more turned on. I have a phone that will not turn on and I can not do anything. Is there a way to completely reset the phone using only the pc from 0? Sorry for my bad english, i'm italian.

Have you tried accessing bootloader like this? Take out battery, sim card and memory card and then put battery only in, plug in usb 2 to computer and the micro usb to phone and then you should see the orange light come on and this will indicate that the phone is connected then open adb through android sdk and type adb reboot bootloader and tell me if it works

I've updated the recovery, by simply downloading the package. Zip from SD card and installing it from recovery. If I press the power button nothing happens, the screen remains black and does not even have a little light.

Cwm itself has problems with the htc sensation, why did you not install Twrp? If you are able to access the recovery have you tried flashing Twrp from there, not sure if you can but have a search.

I'm sorry, I can not understand well the first three prerequisites unbrick project:
1) I downloaded the live CD of Linux that put at the end and it is an ISO file. I have to mount with Daemon Tools? And as for the automount disabled and without unity, are parameters that I decide to install?
2) Packages for devices that are at the end are divided into 32-bit and 64-bit. Are the bits of my operating system or the phone (if they have)?
excuse my ignorance.
3) What is RUU and where do I find the right one for my device?

Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 Help!!

Hi everyone, I am a new person in the forums, so please understand if I'm not good at some stuff and if I'm posting this in the wrong place
Well, story is that I found my old Galaxy Tab 2 in my basement after 3 years, and I got it to turn on (no factory cable, 1€ chinese cable). Android version is 4.0.3.
Found a couple of roms in the forums for 6.0, and yes, I've done it before on my phones.
Computer cannot recognize the tab, only says "Unrecognized device", even though I've tried every driver there is to it. Tried kies, no help. Tried odin, no help.
Neither of those detect the tab either, so I rooted it from the tab itself with KingRoot.
Now the tab is rooted, and I tried to flash TWRP to install 6.0.
It says that the recovery is flashed, but when I try to reboot to recovery, it only restarts, with nothing.
It goes into download mode just perfectly, but when connected to the pc, it still doesn't detect it.
I do not have money to buy a new tablet, so I would really like some advice.
Thanks!

hello
go in download mod ( power & vol+ )
go back to origin
use cfautoroot (all needed in it odin + drivers + cfautoroot)
use a new cable
after that install twrp, os ( first cm12.1 )
regards

Hi, will try!

Don't set auto reboot in Odin.
Once TWRP is flashed wait 1 minute and unplug the tab.
Now directly boot into TWRP, else stock recovery get restored on boot.
You should update over OTA to 4.1 or 4.2 if available first, else you'll have to flash a newer bootloader using Odin to avoid graphics glitches at boot.

I've been working on a similiar issue on a ZU680KL for a friend of mine for a few months now. I ended up buying a USB-C type of an EDL cable. I am able to get some software's to better recognize the phone now including Xiaomi's MiFlash, and have found variations of the files that QPST wants when trying it as a solution, but the raw flash programmer file's I have found, though for right chipset, or probably intended for other devices are the partition tables for example would all be different. This whole project to me as I just recently described it, feels like trying to glue a shattered light bulb back together using liquid glue like the kind they use to have us use in Elementary school on paper projects, and to make it more fun, every time you look away, someone's throwing away more and more of the puzzle pieces on us. lol. Frustrating as all hell. It's as if Asus never wanted or intended for us to restore these phones from an EDL or low level NVRAM status. Wish I had the exact answer. Plan to waste a few hours of today on it again though, being how I found this thread researching it some more. Good luck to all.

solved? I have easy way to fix

what's easy way to fix? thanks^_^

If you watch YouTube videos, you find virtually nothing. There is one Portugese video, but they never show the phone in a completely dead state of black screen with a couple vibrations & an occasional blinking light. This state is truly bricked. There are a couple fake videos also, wanting you to just look at stuff, but it's just a stupid ad. We have one working Zenfone 3 ultra, & one seriously did one. I've offered 100's of $$ to anyone to bring it back to life, & have received ZERO takers. Anybody who's not insane can understand what that means. In other words, so far, forget it. No one has been able to unbrick this model. Only the other Asus models. This Asus model has relatively few purchasers - & has even fewer people willing to mess with it. What a shame.

Hello, if someone has a working zu680kl device we could extract the necessary image and fix it using this tutorial:
https://www.droidsavvy.com/unbrick-qualcomm-mobiles/
I think it looks very promising.
I also have a bricked zu680kl device and I don't think about to give it up !!!!

We have a working one, but my better ½ is not about to give it up for an experiment.

I think there is no risk to brick the device because there will be no installation of any kind of firmware at all. The only thing is to make a backup of all app data because a fresh clean device (factory reset) is necessary. If you like to have a look at the whole procedure search for
Guide, if you are NEW “Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008” MODE
on the mentioned page
https://www.droidsavvy.com/unbrick-qualcomm-mobiles/
If it would be possible to get the eMMC image I would try to go through the rest of the process. Maybe this brings back our dead devices to life.
Buy your better 1/2 some flowers before you ask

I managed to get it fixed tonight
I did the following steps:
1) Enable Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 mode with help of an diy EDL cable.
2) Download the zu680kl raw firmware from here - was not easy to find : http://vietmobile.vn/threads/file-raw-asus-zu680kl-asus-zenfone-3-ultra-zu680kl.46825.html
3) Flash the raw firmware with QFIL
4) Reinstall the stock firmware with fastboot and adb sideload
5) Thank God for help !!!

Hey what files do you use with the qfil out that raw firmware package or do you just flash the whole raw zip

I am not sure - but I think Qfil needs to be set as a Flat Build - not Meta - using files:
Code:
Programmer Path = prog_emmc_firehose_8976_lite.mbn
Download Raw Program = rawprogram0.xml
Download Patch = patch0.xml
Now -- When I try this - I still get an error:
Code:
Download Fail:Sahara Fail:QSaharaServer Fail:The Directory name is invalid
Does anyone get past this at all???

Success!
Just solved my own issue - must use a much newer version of Qfil! I was successful with version 2.0.1.7 - I had to install it as opposed to downloading a zipped exe and running from an extraction point.
I downloaded my copy from https://www.androidbrick.com/downloads/
Just scroll down a little and watch for it manually.
Will update as I get further!

I can confirm luckychild's success. After six months of nothing but a black screen and a flashing red led and some occasional vibrations - I have restored my friend's ZU680KL that she mailed to me half a year ago. And I have made it to a stock Android desktop.
After you flashing using qfil per my prior post - you will still have a black screen - reboot to see Asus - In search of Incredible come up - rejoice - It'll go straight to the bootloader - from there - you want to run "ftm-flashall.cmd" from the zip you downloaded from the Portuguese website luckychild linked too already. Once it runs, your good to go. Continue on with his instructions. All credit to luckychild for putting the pieces together.

Run it from a command prompt window. So like at a DOS Prompt. Nothing to do with ADB.
---------- Post added at 01:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:12 PM ----------
After running the command - it'll boot up to a custom Qualcomm rom - it will have no Gapps of any kind on it. That's why we still need to sideload the rom from Asus's website that you can download from them. I have trouble sideloading over here - not sure why. I have to put it onto a microSD card to flash it from the phone's recovery. Also - Don't forget to wipe data and factory reset it before booting up post of the sideloading. Otherwise it'll possibly get stuck trying to optimize apps - it froze on 'Android is Starting' for me and when I power cycled manually - it corrupted the UI. Had to go back and run the ftm-flashall.bat again.
Just realized the ftm-flashall.cmd that i listed earlier - is a typo - the propper file name should end in a .bat I believe. Sorry for the mistake. Not enough Coffee.

Glad to hear it! So we have a now reproducable cure after years of nothing in the pipe really. I am thinking of writing a start to finish post of how to deal with it for beginners that can be pinned by a mod. If someone else wants to beat me to this, feel free - especially since I don't actually even own this model of phone.. Might maybe pick it up though.

Revive of DEAD HONOR 9! (HARDBRICK) (NO TURN ON/CONNECT USB) - SOLUTION!!. (PICTURES)

Hello,
I finaly found out a method how to establish USB-Connection with a "dead" honor 9 (wasn't recognized by computer/didn't turn on/just nothing).
WARNING!! YOUR warranty will be lost IF YOU OPEN HONOR 9!, no guarantee you get anything fixed/Maybe you break more!!
So I show you how I did it:
1: Open the Honor 9 Back: Tutorialvideo (not made by me)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SUI5sA99nDw
- I used Hair Dryer + Knife to open the back. But use the tools in this video if you have.
2: - Install right USB-Drivers.: I needet the drivers "ASC-Driver_Handset WinDriver 2.01.00.00.exe" - You can find them in google!
3. - Connect the 2 Test Points like in my images. I used the SIM-Card tool from the phone to do it.
4. - Connect phone via USB - if everything gone right it shows up in the device manager as "HUAWEI USB COM 1.0"
5. - NOW We need an app or method to flash FirmWare in this mode... actually not supported by DC-Phoenix.... If any solution I edit in the thread.
6. UPDATE UPDATE! PHONE GOT REVIVED READ SECOND POST!

UPDATE UPDATE !
- HONOR 9 REVIVED FROM THE DEAD
- Downloaded DC-PHOENIX (dc-unlocker.com) ->Made Account/Charged Credits
- Connect the Phone via Testpoints, than open DC-Phoenix APP
- Flashed ( Stanford-AL10_STFAL00S001028_Board Software_general_Android 7.0_EMUI5.1_05022CLB ) ->You can find it in DC-Phoenix search.
-> Phone got revived. (NO MORE Huaway boot animation - I got strange red and green colors instead)
-> Open H9 in Fastboot mode (Turn phone off than: VOL+Down + USB CABLE PUT IN)
-> OPEN DC-PHOENIX
-> FLASHED "Stanford-L09_C432B130_Firmware_Belgium_Germany_France_Netherlands_Portugal_Switzerland_Spain_Italy_Austria_Poland_Denmark_Finland_Czech_Republic_Hungary.APP" with DC-Phoenix.
[UPDATE 2}
- You have to restore IMEI/SN/CARRIER AND COUNTRY AFTER UPDATING (empty board) with HCU Client - (You can find the software on dc-unlocker.com)
- THAN INSERT SIM CARD TO GET OFFICIAL OTA UPDATES.
-> 100% back to stock with full OTA, everything working, boot animation also back

What could be the reason of those death ? planned obsolescence ? Virus ? just HW problem / quality ? no luck ? ........

This should work with all damaged Smarpthones but I also think there are better and much softer techniques to revive looping or software side errors where the phone still turns on.
Maybe try via fastboot mode? But no OT please there are enough threads for it bro.
Revive via testpoints should always be the last option to revive a phone.

I tried this and doesnt work for me, it doesnt even show up as unknown device in device manager.
does anyone know why or is my phone completely dead?

No, I did not saved the log. The update went well, no error or any difference. I updated my phone with HuRUpdater several times without problem.
I updated to STF-L09C432B376, but I had problems with that firmware and I went back to B371, as I did before, when I had issues with B374 as well.
Everything went well, and after B371, I installed Magisk v17, like always, pressed the reboot button and since that, the phone won't turn on.
Thanks for the link!

@Rapid81
As you're stating that after installing the driver, the WIndows sees the phone as "HUAWEI USB COM 1.0" :
So you're good to go, then no need for you to open up your device loonking for test points
---------- Post added at 16:28 ---------- Previous post was at 16:19 ----------
Let's chat via PM as I think I have some tools to replace DC-Phoenix tools which is a license-only. I'd like you to test.
I also liled to know how you managed to get COM1 without openphone and connecting testpoints...

Rapid81 is getting its bricked STF honor9 seen as COM3 by windows.
He said he changed it in windows settings to COM1.
