Did i bricked my device ? - Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

ok guys.
i made this : fastboot erase boot -w
reboot
then i connct device to QDL.
QDL Runs and reboots after reboot it reboots as QUALCOMM MSDN DRIVER.
no fatboot no recovery no boot only 3 lights and QUALCOMM mode
any ideas

fastboot erase kills streaks since it's buggy on the streak, your streak is likely dead

i found the solution fit streakflash tool thanks to dj_steve

Did it work? If it did can you post the steps you did?
Normally QDL wont work when bricked with fastboot erase cache, either you found a way to fix it, or it can brick in different ways and some are in fact fixable

First download : STREAK FLASH from streakdroid
Then run QDL TOOL
that is all...

Maybe you are mlikely more lucky then others (including me) you still got QUALCOM DIANOSTIC MODE on.

well you need jtag then. i think you really make a good brick...

Could you advise more detail about JTAG process, what I need to buy, only JTAG cable or JTAG box? how about software? Sorry I am zero knowldge about JTAG, just heard a little bit about it.

If you dont have experience with JTAGging devices you're pretty much on your own with the streak, the JTAG points havnt even been identified yet so you'd have to find them on your own before even attempting to recover that way

Is there other way I can servive my pretty dead streak, even the process is involve teardown, cause I am not in the place cover by DELL service, and also my DELL was out of warrenty since JAN2011.
I see the JTAG announce that they can repaire STREAK dead boot, just start the software, check for update, in the update have a pinout, which I think it should show me how to connect to correct pins.
The problem is I did not find what I should buy from market for JTAGing, can I only a JTAG USB cable, or I need other stuffs. is there any way to download the JTAG software to see how it work first before we buy JTAG equipement.
another issue, I seem to see there are 2 different JTAG equipemts, RIFF-JTAG and ORT-JTAG what is all of that, could someone help me.

Riff Jtag box have all informations. Just update firmware

Recommend StreakFlash first
You are now in contact with the number 1 near bricker of the Dell Streak and I recommend you try Streakflash before you do anything:
http://streakdroid.com/?page_id=15&did=23
Once complete it will come up with blackscreen, no big deal pull the battery re-install and follow the instructions for QDL:
http://streakdroid.com/?page_id=15&did=8
That should get you back to a version that is working and ready to be updated to 1.9.0 or stock 2.2, but you will need to follow 2.2 instructions TO THE LETTER to make it work. Hope this helps.

@vanemburghj,
I could not get my DELL to reconize by PC as Qualcomm Dianostic mode(by using Vol-UP and connect the cable to PC, I have disattached baterry and put it back as instruction in streak flash forum).

Brick recovery service

Anyone know of a brick recovery service for the Streak? I don't have JTAG or RIFF box and would prefer to find a service to unbrick a Streak 5. I have a real brick no response to power or any other key. Will not turn on. It had to do with a firstboot writing error after flashing with the Softbank Rom. Had nothing to do with the Rom it was user (my) error.
Thanks
Arthur
I got mine Jtagged and after that the phone gets locked permamnently. It does not work even with AT&T Sim. It's not just me but there are few more whose phone got un-usable after JTag. It's just a WiFi Tablet now.
Replace the battery, press Vol Up button and connect to PC; if it's recognised then you don't need a Jtag, Streakflash and the QDL should fix it. I would suggest you google, do your research and look out for any alternative to Jtag. I did Jtag in Haste and phone function is gone now forever. I need to change Motherboard to get this working again or rather buy another tab.

Bricked i5500 after installing Rom Manager

Hey guys. So, I bricked my phone. I installed RomManager, then ClockworkMode through it, thus I knew that this phone is not supported. It wasn't there in that list, so I chose Commtiva z71 or something like that. My phone doesn't get in download mode anymore. Could this be fixed at home? I really don't want to take it to a service centre.
Please help me. Thanks!​
There's a few people who have done this and I don't think any of them have been able to find a way to get it working again. I think you will have to send it to repairs, sorry

did you tried to download ClockWorkmodRecovery(cwm) than flash with odin multi downloader and then wipe data?
first step i found in solving this issue
i also flashed the same recovery through rom manager. i think i have found the first step in solving this issue. all now is that i need help of all of you guys.
All I did was removed my battery while still being connected to usb . After this i kept holding the option button (the button on the upper leftmost side) and with this being hold i inserted the battery. Now my pc recognised the device as samsung usb composite device and also the odin recognises it. but whatever i try my phone stucks at setup connection in odin. pls help.
this can help thousands of bricked g5s.:angel::angel::angel::angel::angel:

no need to pull battery out and insert it back just insert the battery ,hold down the option key & insert usb cable thats it....but none of these gonna work you will need JTag to flash
You can even try JIG. Because, you've messed with recovery and boot partition but not the arm11boot (bml8). So, JIG (search Google, it is as cheap as $2 and you can even make one at home) can help you.
If it didn't, just search for JTAG services nearby your area. They'll charge you $20-$40 and your g5'll be alive.

That's not true, sadly. ROM Manager embeds a version of flash_image that will try to flash a boot image to bml8 if the device is not properly recognised. That's what happened for the OP, so a JIG will not resurrect the phone.
Oh...Sorry, I didn't knew that! So, final option left for OP is a JTAG flash.

Seems like out of your 3 bricks, this is one.

[GUIDE][REF]Basic Trouble Shooting Steps for ODIN FAILURE

So, you've been flashing stuff and now for whatever reason, your phone won't boot.
Now you're trying to save your poor phone's life with Odin but odin keeps failing.
Here are a few basic steps to go over to try and get Odin to cooperate:
First things First, if the device shows no signs of life whatsoever, you press the power button and it just sits there blank,
i am sorry to inform you, you are bricked and at a point beyond the help of odin. this will require JTAG to fix.
if you are in a bootloop or the phone freezes at some point of the boot sequence, this is what odin can fix.
if you do not have odin, get it HERE
here are the USB DRIVERS
i will not provide links to stock firmwares to use, those are ALL OVER the forum,
this is to help get those flashed not to completely hold your hand
only thing i'll add about which to use is:
DO NOT USE A PACKAGE CONTAINING BOOTLOADERS
IF ODIN FAILS DURING THE WRITING OF A BOOTLOADER THAT WILL BRICK THE DEVICE
STEPS:
Use USB ports connected to MOTHERBOARDno front panel ports, hubs etc...
Use a Known good usb data cable preferably OEM, you may want to have 1 or more spare just in case
right click odin and run as administrator
Have odin ready to go before you touch your phoneAll files in the proper place, now boot to DL mode and connect
If this is still Failing try:
Exiti Odin
Uninstall USB drivers
Reboot PC
Reinstall USB drivers
Switch usb port being used on pc
Rinse and Repeat until either it works or all ports exhausted
If after trying all motherboard ports odin is still cursing at you from Asgard, try one of those spare cables i mentioned earlier.
Sometimes PCs just don't wanna work, if you have the availability of another pc ANYWHERE (even the library or something) try these steps on that machine.
If its still failing on multiple pcs, clean out the usb port on the phone with Q-tip dipped in rubbing alcohol
then blowing it out with compressed air and let dry.
still nothing? you may have a hardware failure in the usb port on the phone.
Standard disclaimer: I AM NOT responsible for anything you've done or will do to your device.... this is merely a reference for you to use to get yourself out of a bind.
thank you, you're welcome, Good luck and happy flashing.
Nice work Studa .... had to fight the urge to quote the op so you knew what I was talking about.

Phone stuck
Hi, I'm hoping maybe someone can help me figure out what the problem is.
I'm trying to flash CWM Recovery on GTI9105p. I've actually done this before on the same device, but this time it doesn't work. Odin seems to work fine and shows PASS! after 32 seconds, but my phone stays on "Downloading..." with the blue bar full. If I manually reboot the device and try to go to recovery, it stays on Samsung model logo. Otherwise I can boot the phone just fine. What could be the issue?

Not sure if I hard bricked my Note 2, what can I do now?

I'll start out that I'm new to android, been an avid blackberry user that just purchased my note 2. I followed the casual root application, and unlocked and rooted my device. I went to install cm 10.2 mod on my device after wiping the device in development mode then proceeded to install from sdcard and it failed. Now my device will not respond to either download mode or development mode or power on in any way (including using a charger and removing and replacing the battery). I'm kind of stuck and not sure how to approach the correct solution to get my device back up and running. I did make sure that the cm mod I downloaded was for my specific device. Is it possible that maybe the root/unlock method failed and thats where I went wrong when installing the cm mod? I also get no response when the device is plugged into my pc. So its not being read by odin currrently.
Since it appears I have hard bricked my device, not quite sure what steps I can do to recover. I get no power to the device in any situation, I've read online about jtag, if anyone could point me in a direction it would be helpful. Thanks in advance.
Sorry forgot to mention this was a verizon branded note 2

connecting to pc does your note responds or pc shoes something
remove your battery connect to pc and go to download mode by pressing the button combo if odin shows a port
and you are connected then you are saved if not I guess its tym for service center
anyways try
P.S be sure that you have latest drivers installed on pc and use the original usb cable for conecting

Thanks for the reply sangalaxy, like I mentioned the phone does not respond at all for download mode, not recognized by Odin or showing any power when connected to a charger. Hence why I was thinking its hard bricked.
I'm not sure if I can send it to samsung, since I bought the phone off craigslist.

yea sometimes it will not recognize anything and will not show on screen but will work silently
did you tried connecting it to pc without battery as I said and go to download mode by pressing buttons may be odin will recognize
if not you don't have any choice but go to samsung
Your right I didn't fully read your post to try those instructions, unfortunately it didn't work but thank you for the help. It is definitely appreciated. I think I have found someone off eBay with a good reputation for jtagging android devices that might be a solution.

Pocophone F1 Hard Bricked or Dead?

I was using my phone like normal when it froze on me. I shut down my phone as I usually do when it freezes using the Power off + Vol Down. After turning the phone off, it refused to turn back on again, the light indicator for charging also does not work anymore when plugging in the charger. I did a bit of research and found out that it is possibly bricked. The way they suggested to fix this issue is to flash the phone with the stock rom. So here are the things I've tried:
1. Using SP Flash Tool (not really sure how this one is supposed to work, it is asking me for a "Scatter Loading File" which to my knowledge, isn't part of the ROM file I downloaded from xiaomi.)
2. Booting into EDL mode by shorting the pins and Using the official Mi Flash Tool (This one barely worked for me, it got into the process of flashing but asked me for an authorized Mi Account, after a few hours of research I found out that you can't get one.)
3. Changing the original firehose file with the modified version to bypass the authentication (Still asked me to authenticate)
4. Other Flash Tools (Qualtek, MiracleBox, Qualcomm Flash tool, etc. All failed)
Not really sure what to do at this point, I am unable to launch into fastboot or recovery, phone is completely unresponsive. The only thing that is giving me hope is that the phone is detected in the device manager of my pc as Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COM3). Is the phone dead or is it just bricked, all answers will be highly appreciated, Thanks in Advance
Take phone to authorized service center and let them try to fix it.

Well it is kind of the only possible way because Xiaomi locked down the EDL mode and render a phone truly as useful as a brick, when bricked, unless you sign in with a authorized mi account. Also 99 percent of time the people online claiming that they can fix the device, it is a scam.
However Xiaomi store will probably not fix the phone (it is 3 years old) for the OP (original poster) and try to convince him to move on to new Xiaomi phones because, Xiaomi will earn more...

1000000 percent this will work because by replacing the motherboard, your corrupt data and chips (fried EMMC flash storage) (and snapped snapdragon) will be replaced.
Exactly same thing happened with my Poco F1 on 20th Aug. It comes up as Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COM3) when connecting to my laptop.
What would be the cost for getting motherboard replaced? I want to be able to use my phone with minimal effect to its state before the issue happened. Want to avoid any resets.

I'm afraid to say this but i think that your phone was stuck in EDL mode. here in my country the technicians offer remote EDL flash.. no success no payment transaction..
