[Networking] rgsgroup2005:
The only 2 mobile companies our computer store will not flash a mobile device to is Boost or Virgin Mobile. Many other companies have argued this decision and the reasons are now posted for all to see. I've been trying to get clear answers but correct me if I'm wrong please.

The law stated since April 24th 1998 it is ILEGAL to alter any FACTORY SET ESN for any reason whatsoever clearly stated under Communications Act (Section 301). Therefore, unless that ruling changes, we do not support flashing any mobile device to Boost Mobile or Virgin Mobile by Swaping ESNs as that violates that ruling. Please consider supporting companies that welcome consumers to make their own choices in mobile devices such as Simple Mobile and Page Plus. While Simple Mobile offers unlimited service as low as 40 per month on T-Mobiles Towers, Page Plus is more spendy but no-contract as well and has the power of Verizon's Network. Just get a good programmer in your area.

As long as you do not have 2 devices on the same ESN.

It is not against the law.

However, it might be pretty soon.

It was just big national headlines within the last few months that they are tossing around legislation, its in the same stuff as the stolen device list info.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] entropism:
And you preordered using a DEBIT card (I don't care about credit card orders), did you actually get charged for the phone? They put a hold on my account for the $213 immediately on June 7th, but after a few days the hold fell off and I got the funds back. I received my device on 6/21, but I still haven't actually been charged yet. Spoke to a fewother people and they haven't either, so...

Who here HAS actually paid for their phone?

Also, it seems like my upgrade hasn't been used either. Anyone else still have their upgrade available?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] entropism:
Ugh, nevermind. They charged me today
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] SuperChink:
Just received my phone this morning, still haven't been charged yet
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] holland6045:

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] kanice27:
Got mine today, still not charged
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jasapper:
Charged

Temp authorization immediately upon pre-order and it "posted" Friday (the day it was delivered). Now I'll be having fun trying to get credit to get down to the $199 promo I couldn't get originally due to some kinda BS with my contract renewal effective date(?!).
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] entropism:
The reason why i was asking: They accidentally shipped me two phones, and while I saw a hold request for one of them, I wasn't charged when they shipped it to me on the 20th. Thought it was too good to be true, until they banged me out for $428 this morning.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Mherder:
Mine still says im eligible for an upgrade..
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] CZ Eddie:
I didn't get charged till 24 hours after mine arrived.

Which was weird because i cancelled the order.

And the phone still arrived.

And I still got charged.

Sheesh.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] entropism:
CZ Eddie, that was my issue as well. I ordered on 6/6, and the rep processed the order on the wrong line. Called them back up shortly after midnight (so 6/7) and had them cancel and change it to the correct, main line. When the 20th rolled around, I received 2 tracking numbers, 2 phones, and the mistake order never actually used the upgrade.

I actually went back to an AT&T store and they told me NOT to return it, since an upgrade wasn't even pending. Told me I basically got the phone free & clear at that point.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] faulkton:
i've been charged and it used my upgrade...

Full upgrade available: January 18, 2014 :(
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] P Daddy:
I got this e-mail from AT&T three days after I submitted my order:

Thank you for your recent purchase from www.att.com.

We want to let you know that AT&T experienced a system issue that caused your credit card

company to place multiple authorization holds on your account. This practice is used by banks to

hold the amount available until your bank settles the transaction with AT&T. We apologize for

this inconvenience and have taken steps to ensure this system issue has been corrected.

To express our apologies for our error, and in appreciation for your business, we are sending

your device(s) out to you for free.

We will send you a confirmation email as soon as your order ships, which should be within the

next 24-48 hours. After your order ships, you can check your order status online at

midnight (Eastern Time).

Sincerely,

I called the number just to make sure I wasn't misunderstanding. The rep confirmed that they were gonna give me the phones (two Galaxy S IIIs and one refurbed HTC Vivid) for free. He said I should have ordered five of the Galaxies.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] nugzo:
ruu doesn't see it :(
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Hunt3r.j2:
QHUSB_DLOAD mode usually means you bricked hard and unless you have some software that the rest of us mere mortals don't, you will need to warranty it.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] nugzo:
looks like odin is for Samsung devices? :confused:

anyone have any ideas? Device manager now reads:

Qualcomm HS-USB QDloader 9008 (com 7)
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] nugzo:
Qualcomm tools people have been looking for? I saw a post somewhere here at XDA and the OP was talking about some Qualcom tool kit. The'yve also been talking about some qualcom tools in the s-off thread.. Same thing??
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Hunt3r.j2:
I dunno, but it was talked about in the Sensation Unbricking Project, it isn't easy to recover at all, and for most it's a lost cause....
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] nugzo:
Thank you. The only tools i could find was revskills. Dont know if that's what i need or not. 90% of that is over my head.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] kleeman7:
Yes Odin is Samsung. Get in touch with the s-off guys they have been playing around with download mode and may be able to help.

Borrowed this maybe it throwing you into recovery may help, also they said fastboot flash works, maybe flash twrp from fastboot.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] corythug:
Just thought I'd mention this to the op, I saw the thread where you were trying to help someone else flash a recovery without a pc with all the best intentions and ended up bricking. It broke my heart...lol sounds mushy I know, but really. Best of luck getting it fixed up man.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] initialz:
anyone find solution?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Hunt3r.j2:
Thanks for the three month necro, but once again, go to the S-OFF thread...
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] niceppl:
what version was the last ruu you ran before it bricked..
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] specter491:
You are probably SOL.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] TheNightHawk223:
When you turn your phone on the first (idk) seconds your in emmc mode which you can dd the hboot partition in to fix your phone. Read it a while back in the S-Off thread, seems like it worked.

Edit: Rewrote whole thing, remembered how
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] nubreed000:
This happened to a friend of mine...how the heck does a phone hard brick when following instructions on flashing software to a T? And why does it happen to one phone but not another?

Finally...isn't warranty void at this point?

edit: sorry for the bump, but I feel like an ass since I kept raving on about how it's all about installing custom roms on android phones and then this happens. I had my fair share of issues on my S2 and the S3 to get them to run Cyanogen (even soft bricked it) but it was always recoverable in the end. Hard bricking though...if its that easy to hard brick a phone then why bother? I understand that there's always a risk involved, but I thought that as long as you use the correct software to flash a recovery, kernel, rom, etc...then there shouldn't be any major issues?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] CheesyNutz:
Q&A it's this way ------ >
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] :
A hard brick would be nothing

Plug it in.. no qhsusb_dload, nothing, nada, zilch. It's dead jim.

qhsusb_dload is fixable
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] nubreed000:
You want me to start a new thread just to ask those questions when they specifically relate to the issue in this thread?

---------- Post added at 10:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:33 PM ----------

so it IS fixable...just a big pain in the behind to do it...?

I'm not an HTC user so I dunno what's what here
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] :
1.85 is fixable.

2.20 might be fixable.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Ladicx:
Hey op here's what I would suggest(assuming u have a computer)

This worked for my evo lte and I know phones are almost identical. If anyone thinks this won't work feel free to say so.

Make a live Ubuntu CD

Download and run the lazy panda unbricker tool

Run in Ubuntu. Recover device.

Sent from my EVO using Xparent Blue Tapatalk 2
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] :
No.

Evo 4G LTE Unbricker

This tool is provided for the purposes of "unbricking" an Evo 4G LTE which is stuck in Qualcomm download mode after a failed attempt to S-OFF using LazyPanda.

Supported Devices:

Evo 4G LTE Unbricker currently supports the following Android phones:

HTC Evo 4G LTE (Jewel)

It will not fix any other type of brick or unresponsive device.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Ladicx:
Hmm, Qhusb Dload is exactly what fixes soft brick for the EVO LTE. The phones are so similar. Maybe talking to the Lazy panda team could help you fix this for the one x.

Seems possible:o

Sent from my EVO using Xparent Blue Tapatalk 2
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] :
I may ask for help, because we can't get any 2.20 device into eMMC mode since the hboot didn't get bricked.

Once someone figures that part out, "bricking" won't happen anymore. Aka, will be fixable for this phone on 2.20 (already fixable on 1.85 and lower)

the problem with this soft brick, is it overwrites our partitions with invalid code, not just a broken partition.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] nubreed000:
What exactly does 2.20 and 1.85 refer to, if I may ask? And do you have a thread or blog or whatever, where I could follow your progress on the project?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] :
1.85 and 2.20 refer to the firmware of the RUU

1.85 has the 1.09 hboot and 2.20 has the 1.14 hboot

Wecome another bricker aboard. let's see if we can figure out how to un-waste my money and regain some of my destroyed pride.

I was under the impression (from all the other devices I had) that there were US specific phones and Int'l phones. I figured my one x was int'l (rogers) because all my other phones have been so. Wrong. I am stupid. Should have done more reading.

Flashed Ice Cold Jelly, according to directions. Won't power on at all, no charging light. Is this essentially the position others are in?

Maybe there's something we can do. At this point I'm a willing guinea pig.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] :
Nothing we can do until we get eMMC mode activated. Once that happens, all your problems will be non-existent.

Please go read the threads and install Tinycore and try to get the partitions enumerated.

[Motorola Droid X2] Galaxy_S_:
My friend dropped her X2 in water the other day, she put it in rice for over 24 hours. When she powered it on, the only way she can get it to boot up is through fastboot, I guess is what it is? By selecting the boot android option. Once it's booted up, she's only able to make emergency calls and can't do anything else. But I figure that if she is able to get it booted up, then there is some hope or that there may be some type of solution. Has this happened to anyone else (maybe minus the water part)? Any one know of a way to fix it?
[Motorola Droid X2] LaserChicken:
That's pretty crazy weird, but I believe it, I literally splashed my DX with like 3 drops of water and it killed the entire video system. Anyway, best I can think to try is start with a factory reset and cache wipe from stock recovery. Of course, if she can connect to the phone via usb, she should back up any pics and whatnot. If the wipe doesn't work, you can move on to an SBF, see if that helps.

Maybe others will have another suggestion, so maybe sit still until a few people reply to this thread and see what other options come forward.

Best of luck.
[Motorola Droid X2] Citizen_Snips:
I completely submerged my first X2... pulled it out literally as soon as it went in. I suffered from the exact same problem, I also put it in rice for over 24 hours. Absolutely nothing worked and I had no choice but to get it replaced. :( Hope she has better luck than I did.
[Motorola Droid X2] Galaxy_S_:
Yeah I'm thinking there still has to be some hope if it boots up and graphics are still working, right? lol. That's crazy. I dropped my old Samsung Vibrant with T-mo in the pool once. It sat in rice for 24 hours, nothing worked. I couldn't even get it to boot. But the next night I opened it up and there was some type of dust-like stuff. Maybe corrosion, on one of the circuits. I wiped it off with my finger, put it back together. And it still didn't work, but what do you know, next morning it was working perfectly. Like nothing ever happened. Coincidentally it started working while I was in the Sprint store replacing it. haha. So I actually advised her to do that. There might be some water or corrosion on the inside. The guy in the video walkthrough I watched on youtube dropped his in a lake and said there was still water in it after having it in rice. But she is going to try the factory reset first.

Thank you for the advice, though =]
[Motorola Droid X2] Galaxy_S_:
wow that's weird. She also pulled it out as soon as it went in. and it wasn't even completely submerged. She dropped it in the toilet. lol don't ask. So it wasn't completely covered in water. The thing is she doesn't have the $100 to get it replaced. She's unemployed right now =[ Hopefully she'll find a loaner from family/friends.
