My device is hard bricked, and ubuntu does not seem to locate it at all. Is there anything I can do?
how did you hard brick it?
you could always use unbrickable resurrector to force your device into dl mode and then flash whatever with heimdall.
i had to do this (three times ) last weekend while testing my build of PA 3.15

I have been searching for someone with a similar situation and i can't seem to find anything, and I am totally lost. Please please please help...
I tried to go to CM from bionix and ended up completely bricked -- i guess i forgot to disable voodoo or some such thing. In any case, I believe I was able to get it repartitioned with Heimdall on a PC -- but Odin wouldn't recognize the phone at all.
I don't have access to the pc, so I now have a mac with heimdall and it doesn't recognize the phone at all. Nothing.
I can get to download, and when the phone boots up into Android system recovery <2e> but doesn't go beyond that. It tries to find /sdcard/update.zip but no such file.
How do I get that file on the phone? even if I am able to get back to heimdall on the pc, how do i get that file on the phone?
Thanks so much for any help!

Well if you can at least boot download mode, and recovery, your soft bricked. It would appear that you have a poor connection to your Mac in that case. Try a different USB cable, or even borrow a friends PC. Preferably, use the Samsung USB cable.

You could use adb commands to push the file into your phone but you would still have to be able to connect to a pc. Like whatiznt said, try a T-Mobile or Samsung brand cable. It that doesn't work then the micro usb port on your phone could be bad. Just to make sure, when you boot into recovery mode are you selecting reinstall packages? You usually have to do this twice for it to work. EDIT,I guess you already tried that since you say the update.zip can't be found.

Hello Everyone,
2 days ago i tried to hard reset my Karbonn A21 android phone. i pressed Power+volume+home button. after that there was an error displayed on the screen saying "ENTRY QPST DOWNLOAD". i quickly searched on the internet but wasnt able to find any successful link. but then my computer asked me to format the device, i thought this will reset my phone but unfortunately i was totally wrong. after the format i tried to start my phone again but nothing happened. i also tried different combinations of keys but nothing happened not even a single pixel lit up lol. then i downloaded cherry mobile flare software and AIO flasher and all the image files and other files required. they didnt work for me. now whenever i connect my phone to the laptop, i get Qualcomm HS-USB QDloader 9008(COM 4) in ports section of my device manager. i tried to flash it in fastboot in AIO flasher. it says flashing but nothing really happens even after 10-15 minutes. all the online forums i searched they say enable debugging mode on ur phone in order to reboot but i dont know how the heck i can do it when my phone doesnt even start up lol. I am left with a dead phone now. can anyone please help me out and solve my problem. and please advise me step by step what to do next in order to get my phone working...please...

First Don't panic
I will provide you with steps to unbrick your device
1. Install AIO Flasher to your PC. Download from here
2. Install PdaNet on PC. Download from here [pdanet.co/bin/PdaNetA4126.exe]
3. Get recovery and flash. (CWM preferred, download and know how to flash from here)
4. PM me to get stock ROM.
and hit thanks if it helps.
Hello all. I have been racking my brain for days and reading a billion posts and guides to no avail. I have flashed many a phone and have never had an issue until now. I have an SGH-I717 from AT&T unlocked and being used on T-Mobile. I was attempting to either go to a stripped Rom or Stock Rom to get rid of AT&T software. Well I noticed a couple of 4.3 Roms I had not tried before, I was currently on 4.0.4 stock rooted. So I started up CWM touch and started firing away, first Rom started acting strange with the screen coming on out of standby, so I decided to try the next one. Seemed awesome at first. Then I rebooted the phone after a couple of app installs. Boom, would not turn on. Blank screen, not responding to power button. Would go to CWM and Download mode. Hmm. Started fiddling, couldn't get Kies firmware recovery to get past 0%, tried Odin 1.83, 1.85 3.07 3.09, it kept crashing at getting pit for mapping. Windows 7 X64 pro, Was able to load a backup with cwm after copying through adb to internal sd. Didn't want that, attempted to flash again. Same thing. Got to adb with CWM up. Manually wrote 3e recovery to phone, bad idea. Now i can't do anything. Can't access the external sd to try and update.zip, can't get to adb no matter what, either drivers fail to install, hardware id missing, or some other nonsense. I tried an ubuntu 12 machine, windows xp (physical and virtual) several cables, and several windows 7 machines. All with similar results, linux won't recognize the phone through adb but will with lsusb and udev. I can get windows to recognize in factory mode, not odin mode, and odin will read the com port, but crashes on every machine at the pit phase. I tried heimdall and it complains that I don't have a matchine pit and I tried one that i found online and it is unable to write the pit file and just reboots the phone. I have been unable to manually flash anything from any point. Is there anything any of you can think of that I can try? I have heard of JTag and don't know much about it but read somewhere someone using and Arduino to do that, I have an arduino but its sound difficult due to size of the interface plug. Please help, phoneless and scared!!!
Since a Windows pc recognizes a lil bit, I would try using kies software and perform an emergency recovery.
Thanks for the reply
I entered the model SGH-I717 and then the S/N, tried this about 10 times with different cables and different Windows versions. Sticks at 0% after unpacking binary files. Stays there for a long time before failing and saying that it couldn't recognize the phone.

Updated Question
I have an arduino, is there any way without building a jtag interface or using a riff box to send some data to the phone through some of the pins directly and force it to accept adb commands or to push a file or some such? One thing to note on the 3e recovery I can see the filesystem and of course i did a factory reset so there is nothing there of use to me, however why won't the microsd card mount in stock recovery is that normal? Dummy me I had TWRP on it, then flashed CWM, and then manually used dd to write the stock back to it thereby making it difficult to do anything because 3e sucks. When I get home I'm going to try the OneClickUnbrick jar and see what that does. I have never tried it. There has to be a way to send data or arbitrary commands to the phone through the usb to force it to do what I want, isn't there a be my ***** adapter or something I can hook up to this paperweight?

adb.exe works when the phone is in download mode. If you can get into 3e recovery you can factory reset. That usually clears up some issues.
I would try the reset, then go to a virgin pc running win 7 - the drivers are already in that os.
Connect with phone in download mode, run odin3 1.85 as administrator, flash a stock rom.
So when trying to roll back to stock ROM I clearly messed something up and am now left with Kindle that does nothing but sit there, when connected to PC it was showing up as QHSUSB_BULK. From that I was able to locate the Qualcomm drivers so it shows up as "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008" I have guides for fixing phones' stuck in this mode, but cant seem to find anything for the Kindle. I even have the app "MSM8974.exe" which will write images back to the MOne phone when they get bricked and are stuck in this mode. I am trying to see if I cant get that to write the BIN file to the Kindle, but so far nothing has worked. I have come across a few threads here, but so far nothing has worked (holding power button for a few mins to get past this mode doesn't work), ADB doesn't work, nor fastboot (or atleast I don't know how to get them to work). I know what COM port the phone is on, so I was wondering if anyone had a way to push a stock BIN/ZIP/Update when the device in stuck in this QHSUSB_BULK mode.
Any help would be awesome. thanks for reading.

Unfortunately, there is no known recovery from this condition. You can google around for answers but none work reliably. As you are discovering Amazon devices are not like others: easy to brick and nearly impossible to recover. Sorry for your loss.
Didnt think Thor would be so easy to kill

That's what I was afraid of.. dang it all. Oh well. I bought the misses a new one just in case this one was messed up. I'm going to get a straight android tablet for me, that way I'm starting off with a less locked device.
Thanks though. I will still check from time to time to see if anyone finds a fix for this.
Found drivers and such for the bulkmode here:
Download dseo13b.zip unzip it and keep it on desktop. (for getting windows into testing mode to install the unsigned drivers, I have 10 and had to reboot windows and modify its boot sequence to disable driver signage)

google how to install "QUALCOMM 2012 drivers" and
I just tried to install stang5liter note5 with FF, and now the phone will not boot. I have installed other roms with FF no problem. It has a black screen. It will not boot into recovery or download mode. I plug it into a Windows machine and it sees a QHSUSB_DLOAD, but I cannot access it.
I tried using Unified Android toolkit, and it cannot find the device. Odin cannot find it either.
How do I unbrick this?
Do you have a battery in your phone?(not sure if it matters but read something about it). Well, QHSUSB_DLOAD is really bad. I think it happened to surge1223's s4 and it was equivalent to a hard brick. Good luck
Yes, I have a battery in the phone. I have tried every button options, and none of them are working.
if you can't get into download mode i think you are bricked for sure

Yes, it is bricked. Is there a way to unbrick it?
