Let me save you some time..

As said, see if you can get into download although if no charging is happening i'm 99% sure theres no download mode either. In which case plug it in your PC. If it appears in device manager as QHSUSB DLOAD then let me be the first to say,

WELCOME TO BRICKTOWN. sorry but you look like another unfortunate person to see how easy these ****ers brick. my deepest sympathies

Also, in reference to the jig, unfortunately does nothing in this situation. I feel confident though that somebody will eventually find a way to unbrick with the Qhsusb dload brick because i saw after hours of looking into this it has been done with other phones. just my 2 cents
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] JuggZaPoppiN:
So, what I ended up doing is returning the phone to best buy for an exchange.

Now I know to pay attention and not install international roms anymore. Lol

Thanks for all the help though.

Oh, and my phone was not able to enter download mode, so I was assuming I was screwed for the most part.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] accordex:
True but best buy / Samsung will not go out of business because of this...sounds like a newb not doing his homework vs. someone who knew what they were doing , taking a risk and then returning it. Hardly fraud when there was no intention of taking the risk.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] KainamHD:
The risk is always there when you start flashing roms. Especially for script kiddies that cant be bothered to read directions.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] cwalker29:
Man y'all is too funny talking about this fraud crap... lmao who cares????? look around guy, these company don't give a **** about you. But if it bothers you that much call the cops or the F.B.I. Hell since we went that far let call the C.I.A
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] ghost77:
These company's do care, and why do you think they lock bootloader and constantly patch to prevent rooting , samsung has been easy so far but, given enough returns and complains from retailers they will change their policy. Just a matter of time.

Samsung also implemented flash counter just for this reason.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] stevesprivateaccount:
Couple things. People work for Best Buy and anytime you defraud them it will impact the company, the profitability, and employees. It will also eventually impact people who have honest claims and get put through the ringer because of previous claims.

Secondly, this phone isn't any easier to "brick" than any other phone when you flash a rom, modem, etc. that wasn't made for it. Would you try to chip your Ford's engine with a chip meant for a GMC truck? Would you flash the BIOS of your Dell laptop with the BIOS image for an HP? That is how people need to consider the variants, as if they are from separate companies, not only separate products.

[HTC Desire S] superlorre:
Hi! Sorry if this was posted in the wrong forum, im new here :laugh:

I installed Fallout V 4.3.0 on my HTC DS and everything was working fine. But then suddenly my phone started to restart randomly. 1-2 minutes after booting it restarts again. If i take out the battery, wait 1 minute, and the put i back in the phone starts automatically again. Then another 1-2 minutes before restart loop.

This does not happen when the charger is plugged in. First thing i thought was a battery-issue, but this happened after flashing a ROM, so?

The phone was working fine on Fallout V 4.0.0, problem occured when updating.

-I wiped everything before installing the ROM.

-Have tried to reinstall Fallout, same problem

-Have tried to install Endimyon, same problem.

Information about the phone:

Current ROM: [Endymion V3.5|Sense 3.5|GB 2.3.5][kernel V2.2|ControlCenter]

Hboot: 6.98.1002

Radio: Default

S-off

Would appreciate some help, as my phone is useless atm! :crying:
[HTC Desire S] nuts77:
Hello,

Maybe this should be posted in the Fallout thread (however you have to make 10 posts before being able to post in the dev section...). Up to the moderators to move your thread or not :)

I have had some similar issues after flashing Fallout, except my phone didnt reboot but it just went off a couple of minutes after i tuned it on. Although this just seemed to happen once. After I turned it on again, everything ok until I charged it to 100%, turned it on again - and same issue.

I then flashed CM9, same issue.

I read somewhere that it might be a charge level display issue : when you plug the phone in charge and unplug it right away, battery indicator will say it is charged to 100% - while obviously it is not...

Hope that will help you.
[HTC Desire S] superlorre:
Thanks for replying! Was going to post in the dev section indeed, but i dont have 10 posts... But i found out, if i turn on "screen always on" setting, the phone does not restart. Hmm...
[HTC Desire S] zerokoolmyth:
have you try a reflash
[HTC Desire S] superlorre:
Yes. Do you think buying a new battery will do the trick?
[HTC Desire S] SimonTS:
Time for the really stupid question - but it is the old one and has been a problem for many people (including me).

Have you tried to insert a piece of paper, folded so it is 3 or 4 sheets thick, in between the battery and the back of the phone when you insert it? There is a manufacturing tolerance which can cause the battery to move and lose connection to the contacts sometimes.

It's probably not the solution for you, but it's a damn sight cheaper than buying a new battery immediately.
[HTC Desire S] superlorre:
Thanks for answering, but i've tried that... :( The weird thing is that if i turn on the setting "screen always on", the phone does not restart. Or if the charger is plugged in. It only restarts some seconds after the screen goes black (inactivity) or if i press the power button.
[HTC Desire S] mzr92:
Sadly I don't have an answer for you, however, I wanted to recommend that you avoid taking your battery out as that can cause damage to the emmc chip and thus brick your phone
[HTC Desire S] superlorre:
Thanks for the warning, but i really dont care about the emmc chip now :p You see, if the battery is in the phone starts itself automatically...
[HTC Desire S] PROPAIN2112:
I would have to say it's the rom. Did you back it up?
[HTC Desire S] superlorre:
Have wiped everything, reflashed Fallout ROM, didnt work. Wiped everything, restored NANDROID backup to Endimyon, didnt work either... :(
[HTC Desire S] SimonTS:
Don't worry about the eMMC chip that the other poster mentioned - the problem is not caused by removing your battery - it is caused by not removing it properly, or by removing and reconnecting it quickly which means there is still residual charge when it reconnects.

Given the more detailed description, I assume you have a custom ROM running? If so then try two things

1) Try to decrease the under-voltage settings by 50mV

2) Increase the minimum CPU speed.

It sounds like the phone is going to sleep, but is slowed down too much and a reboot is forced.

Sent from using the power of my mind.
[HTC Desire S] superlorre:
Tried your suggestion, but no luck. :( Will buying a new battery give me any chance?
[HTC Desire S] SimonTS:
It might do. I would be tempted to find a phone shop and ask them if you can test your phone with a battery from them before buying it though - just in case it is something else causing this.

[HTC Desire S] Ranga86:
Hy Guys!

My DS is doing the same thing after I istalled the ICE DS 5.1. Funny thing is it started only after 1 day. It was working perfectly until it restarted after pressing the power button. I've tried different ROMs (CM 7.2; Fallout 5) but it happend almost instantly. Also tried the CPU voltage, no result.

I'm curious superlorre if the new battery did the trick?

Or is there a thread I missed where the problem got solved?

Thanks in advance.

So I was playing paintball and I had my phone in my pocket. My son shot me in the pant leg and it hit my phone. The gorilla glass is freaking strong. The glass is intact but the impact shattered the lcd underneath the glass. Rather than try to replace the lcd, I want to sell the phone but first I want to wipe all of my data off of the built in memory. Does anyone know if that's possible without a screen and how?

Thanks in advance.

Rooting guide for 4.0.4(locked bootloader) is available by doomlord...But one of the requirement says phone to be in USB Msc connection mode. my question is ,everyone says to select MSC mode in settings-xperia-connectivity.

But its not there in my phone!!simply no option at all!!

there is an option of mount usb in settings-storge,but that is always grayed out :(

wether connected or not

see here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1744878

but actually you need root access to install that app & on other hand you need Msc mode enabled to "root" stock ICS!!

So what should be done?

I want to root it

Hey, no need msc mode enabled to root. What you need is install cwm & install su.zip in cwm

why dont u calibrate the compass and see if it point correct north or not?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrModMan:
was your compass pre-installed on your arc before your bought it or did you download it, if you did download it ..its probably a error in the app and it needs to be updated it by the creators

[Motorola Droid X2] alittlex:
I am posting this here since I have under 10 posts and cannot post in the dev section.

I have a Droid X2 that is rooted and flashed to Eclipse 2.2.1

I have a nandroid backup on my SD card, but cannot get into a screen to restore it.

I have had it flashed and working for a few days now. The phone turned off in my pocket, and when I turned it back on, it loads up to the Eclipse animation but never goes any further.

I have searched Google and cannot find an exact scenario. I have found people who fixed by going back to stock SBF, but this did not work for me.

I have tried both 2.3.3 and 2.3.4 and am using RSD Lite 5.4.4.

The phone will reboot after it "finishes" and get stuck in the Eclipse animation again.

I have done a data/cache wipe through Android Recovery with no result. I have cleared it more than once just to be sure.
[Motorola Droid X2] Ryno77:
Wow, sounds like you tried about everything and I'm shocked nothing has worked. I would try the 2.3.5 ota sbf (in development section) but that may not work either.... If it were me I would at least try it. I would also try re downloading the rsd lite program. Are you unzipping before flashing the sbf file?
[Motorola Droid X2] Pixelation:
Not for nothing, but keeping your phone in your pocket in summer heat could have possibly damaged some internal hardware.

Just to keep this simple, I would let the phone sit, perform an sbf to 2.3.4 following any of the guides here. Also try tee downloading the sbf file. When you power off your device...plug it in...then hold volume down and power button what happens?? It should say Fast boot on the to of the screen of your phone....I'm reading as I'm typing and thinking something else is wrong, I would not want to steer you wrong, but sbf works...always, like more then a thousand times....so it may be hardware that is the issue.

Sometimes when SD cards are corrupt they cause issues also, but that you would see in cwr...

Do you have insurance?

Inserted 20¢ for the first three minutes
[Motorola Droid X2] raymond513:
Maybe a different sbf method could work? You could try the ez sbf http://www.droidxforums.com/forum/droid-x2-hacks/41697-tool-ezsbf-dx2.html
[Motorola Droid X2] alittlex:
I am unzipping the sbf file. I have had previous experience with RSDLite since the the days of the Razr flip phone.

I don't think it could be a corrupt download, because the SBF does unzip. Not to mention the fact that I've tried 2.3.3 AND 2.3.4... to completely different files.

In my pocket in the summer heat doesn't really apply when I'm inside all day. I did not have my otterbox on the phone when this happened.

I can hold the buttons and get into the menu for RSD/fastboot/recover.

The android recovery will clear the data and cache, but it just gets stuck in the boot animation and doesn't progress. I let it sit trying to load for over an hour with no luck.

I have also tried booting without an SD card.

There is no insurance on the phone. I bought it off Craigslist for $100 and I use it on Cricket.

This is the first time I've had a problem with the phone, and it's such a weird problem, I had to sign up and get input.

I will try to SBF again now that I have had the phone off for a few hours.

EDIT: Did not fix. Even SBF to 2.3.5 still keeps the eclipse boot animation.
[Motorola Droid X2] alittlex:
I tried running the ezSBF through USB boot, it went through the whole process (CQ60 and CQ65 took a long time). When the phone boots up, it still shows the eclipse animation and just loops it.

I held down power and vol-down, I can still get into the Android Recovery to wipe data and cache... but it doesn't help.
[Motorola Droid X2] Ryno77:
Did you ever get anything to work? I wonder if you could push something using adb? I am not familiar enough with it to help and not sure it would help. I feel like there has to be a solution to this but don't know what it could be? Bump.....
[Motorola Droid X2] jsgraphicart:
You keep saying that after an SBF, you get the eclipse animation. When you SBF you should get the droid animation since it is putting it back to stock. If you are still getting the Eclipse animation then it didnt work right and didnt SBF. Did the SBF actually say it completed successfully?
[Motorola Droid X2] alittlex:
There enlies the problem. It will go through every stage and go to reboot and get stuck in the eclipse boot animation. It will tell me to manually power up my phone, and when I do, it will say finished.

SBF is supposed to overwrite everything, but it just doesn't. I have tried it using the RSDLite app and the Linux boot.

I have never read about anyone else having this problem, and I have been looking for a solution since Tuesday afternoon.

I am not familiar with ADB, but I will read into it.
[Motorola Droid X2] ninjasailas:
I use linux all the time never used rsd of any kind on it I have the files you will need on linux if you need them just let me know.

Here is a guide of how your suppose to use ithttp://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1321061

Let me know if this works for you or if you need help.

I just read your post again thought you said that you were using rsd in linux. My bad. Hopefully you get everything figured out. I would delete and redownload everything including rsdlite and try again. I've flashed at least a hundred sbfs in linux and never had a problem yet
[Motorola Droid X2] alittlex:
I run Windows 7. I used the Linux DroidX2 boot disk. It went through all the stages, but still no dice. I tried it twice.
[Motorola Droid X2] ninjasailas:
Im sad for you. Other than redownloading all your files and trying again I don't know what other options there are for you. Maybe you could find a way to flash something using fastboot?
[Motorola Droid X2] Ryno77:
Would someone let you sbf from their computer? Maybe your pc and phone aren't getting along?
[Motorola Droid X2] sd_shadow:
try a different usb cable, even if it works for other devices, it could be the problem
[Motorola Droid X2] alittlex:
I would assume the original Motorola eco cable would be the one that works.

I have another data cable that I can use, I just haven't tried it.

There is not a whole lot of information out there on how fastboot works. It's always RSD support and SBF flashing.
[Motorola Droid X2] ninjasailas:
Yeah I did some digging couldn't find a fastboot file for dx2. But you can wipe data and cache with it. I would suggest the same try different computer, cable, and files. Probably your only hope. Have you sbfed the phone successfully before?
[Motorola Droid X2] Ryno77:
I'm wondering if more than just turning off happened in the pocket? Too bad we'll never find out.
[Motorola Droid X2] alittlex:
My DX2 was rooted and running eclipse. I've SBFed it to do that. Before that, I was running stock 2.3.5 with all the edits to put it on Cricket instead of Verizon.

I can't figure out what happened inside my pocket. I was using it one minute, put it in my pocket and went outside for a smoke, took it back out and it was turned off.

I don't get any boot error messages. It just won't erase Eclipse when it SBFs.

I can still hold power + volume down and scroll through all the menus.

I hooked it up to my laptop and it sees the ADB.

Unfortunately, the go-to is always SBF and nobody says anything about flashboot.
[Motorola Droid X2] ninjasailas:
Try a different computer yet? What happens when you pull the battery and plug into the wall?
[Motorola Droid X2] alittlex:
I only have one computer.

And what do you mean, pull the battery and plug it in the wall? Leave the battery out and plug it in?
[Motorola Droid X2] ninjasailas:
Try to find someone who will let you use a computer. I mean what you got to loose? I would see what happens with no battery and also with the phone off with battery in then plug it in. Most likely it will come up with bootloop or a battery with a questionmark. I don't know just grasping straws.
