[Q] Bricked (?) DNA, USB recognizes it - HTC Droid DNA

Hello everyone, first of all sorry if this has been posted a million times, but i just cant seem to find any answers, if been looking for hours without results. Heres my situation
Got a used HTC DROID DNA in mid december, it was completely stock, s-on and not rooted or anything.
i managed to root it and install a custom ROM, the device was running TWRP.
now, a few weeks ago i was trying to install a new ROM, at first it failed, it would just reboot me to my old ROM, after doing some searching i managed to install it (cant remember what was wrong right now), that same day i went on a small road trip, a few hours later, i knew my battery was extremely low, i pulled my phone out of my pocket, turned the screen on and just saw a a glimpse of the battery saying 3 or 4% and then it just shut down, it showed the white HTC screen and it died, i thought nothing of it, thing is, that was the last time it ever lived, after that, i got home and tried to charge it, nothing works, no led light, it doesnt vibrate i cant enter recovery or do anything, the phone is dead, ive tried leaving it stuck to the charger for hours and nothing.
doing some research it told me to do a few button combinations but non of them worked, i also removed the battery and installed it again, didnt work.
now the thing that gives me hopes that the phone can be relived is that when connected to any pc, the computer recognizes it and installs the driver, it doesnt say its a htc phone, but it says the device is ready to use, i cant even see it in my devices though..... another thing that happens is that when i connect it, windows plays the USB plugged in sound, and exactly (ive timed it numerous times) 5 seconds later, plays the sound that is played when a USB device is disconnected, then about 1 second later it recognizes it again, and this just keeps looping, i have no idea what to do, tried finding it in ADB and nothing.
anybody have any ideas? or tips i can do?

Let it sit on the charger for 24+ hours then try turning it on, people have reported this to work in situations like yours.

Did you really remove and replace the battery? It's integrated into the phone; isn't that a bit of work in advance of charging it over night and maybe trying other things?
I never would have done that on this phone. I probably would have just CL'd another used one before attempting to R/R the battery. Can you post some instructions?

He didn't remove it from the phone he just disconnected it and reconnected it. I'm pretty sure the battery has strong adhesive that is attached to the housing. The battery can bend when pulling on it that's how strong the adhesive is.

Btw if you can't get into the bootloader it's most likely hosed and will need to be jtaged.

Failure on unlock bootloader via RSDLite

Seems there have no way to turn my phone on, after unlock bootloader failure via RSDList.
i've tried taken the battery out, put it back in. tried holding volume up, down, both. My phone still have no "reaction", no screen, no error code, just feel it "cool" likes deadly.
And, when i plugged it (battery taken out) into my computer via USB-marcoUSB, a green light on, but still can't connect to it (no device detected from computer, and also cant ADB).
What can I do now ?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
that's weird. did you try removing the battery, and plugging into the charger?
...I did this 2 days after getting my ATRIX.
Same exact problem as you, it failed to flash. the green light thing, and no possible way to turn it on. Even tried another battery...
This is called a Hardbrick... not really a fun thing to have happen.
I took mine back to AT&T and got it replaced saying I was having issues from the get go (since I bought it only 2 days ago) they replaced it no questions asked.
Next time you wanna unlock your bootloader, I recommended the automatic script here for doing it.
I was on the 2.3.4 OTA update when I used it.

[Q] Evo 3D doesn't turn on

Hey guys.
I have a problem with my HTC EVO 3D. I've been using it for a year and everything was fine until yesterday. I was playing Real Racing 3 when my phone suddenly restarted and then turned off before I could enter my PIN code and didn't boot up. I thought that it might have overheated or it was some crash or something, I put the phone to charging and it easily turned on (I must mention, that there were about 70% battery left). I charged my phone and didin't use it whole afternoon. In the evening, I was trying to unlock my phone (with about 70% of battery) when suddenly the same happened again - the phone restarted and before entering PIN code turned off at all. After that I wasn't able to boot my phone.
I tried charging it with original HTC AC charger and also using my laptop and even a car charger, but nothing changes.
When the phone is not plugged in to charging, it doesn't show any signs of being alive. I tried pressing volume down/up/camera buttons + power on button, taking off the battery for about an hour, charging the phone for ~6 hours. Nothing works.
However, I realised that when I connect the phone to my laptop, there is a 'new device is connected' sound, but I am not able to access my memory card or do something else. Also, when the phone is charging, the red charging light is on, which after a few hours turns to green and after some more time disappears at all. When trying to turn on the device while it is charging the red light disappears as soon as the power button is released ant comes back after about 20 seconds.
Sorry for such long story and for my bad English. I am very disappointed. I still have a warranty, but I dont want to take the phone there, because the fixing lasts at least 2-3 weeks and also since I'm unable to boot my phone, there are a lot of my personal information in it, such as passwords,messages, bookmarks and so on, left.
So, is there anything I could do or should I take my phone to service?
P.S. The phone is not rooted and never was. Everything is original and up to date.

Perhaps try a new battery or take it in and have them try one. Sounds like a battery issue.

Thanks. I took it to service. I hope they'll repair it.
I finally got my HTC back a few days ago. They changed the motherboard and I had to buy a new battery since the old one was dead and warranty for it was only a year.
But I've faced several unexpected crashes during these few days. I think 3 or maybe 4 times when I took the phone after not using it for couple of hours and tried to unlock it, the phone didn't unlock and instead turned on. I really don't like this, because if my phone turns off whenever it wants, I may be unreachable
Does anyone knows what that means and what should I do if this keeps happening?

Yes, the soft has always been and is stock.
Then it must be a hardware issue. If your warranty has not expired, take it to the warranty service.

Well as I said I dont want to take it there because it takes about three weeks or more till I get back my phone.. It would be the third time in two months and it really annoys me.
Couldn't this be software issue? I mean I've been reading some similiar threads and I found out that some app might be killing the phone. So I did hard reset yesterday and after that installed only well known essential apps (Google services and some others) and after that the phone didin't crash for almost two days. Unfortunately, it did turned off a few minutes ago. I've installed only 8 Ball Pool and Smart Keyboard Pro recently, so I will try unninstalling them both and let's hope the phone won't crash again. Is there any ideas what else may I do in case it doesn't work?

Id recommend doing a factory reset on the phone and not installing any app for at least a week to confirm its not a hardware issue, but I strongly believe it is. If it fails youll have to take it to a sprint store and hope the clerk is in a good mood and give you a new phone the same day.
try a new battery
The battery is new, I had to buy it only a week ago, because the service stated that the old one was dead.

[Q] Battery died, wont charge or boot.

My COMPLETELY STOCK DNA's battery died a few hours ago, so naturally i went to go plug it in. When i plug my device in, no LED's light up, and it wont boot at all. Ive tried multiple chargers/cables, tried charging via USB all to no avail. ive read a few threads on here where some can get the white HTC screen to flicker on for a moment, but i dont even get that. The phone was seriously powered off for less than 3 minutes. I also tried doing the Power+vol down hard reset, with no results... I purchased this device less than 3 months ago, and its been kept in pristine order (i treat my phones better than most mothers do newborn babies), so its under the HTC warranty, but i have no way to call them to file a claim and i cant seem to find any way to do that online. can ANYONE help me out please? I need my phone for work, and i feel as if im going to be without a device for a few days because of this :/
I had the exact same thing happened to my Nexus, I had to send it in for repairs. You should go to a Verizon store and show it to them
Plug it into the wall and let it charge it can take a while for the led light to indicate it's charging but it is.

Plug it in for about 10 to 15 minutes then while its charging, hold down the power button for 30 seconds. You should be good. You may have to hold the power button a couple of times if it doesn't work the first time..

Did you manage to find a fix same thing happened to my HTC one expect i was running cm10.1 the phone died and when i tried to charge it no led or anything i even left it charging over night and nothing from what im seeing this happens on a few htc devices only
Mine has died multiple times and the led blinks and then after 2 or 3 mind it stays solid and charges. I would let it sit but since you did that and it didn't work it had to be hardware related.

Apx mode on Samsung galaxy tab 10.1 wifi.

Hey guys, im a regular over on the htc forums but not very used to samsungs and was wondering if i could get some clarification
Got this tablet from a friend to repair if i could. the tablet was in possession of my friends mother who is 60+ and careful with her tech. never drops it, always charges it on time. then device was never flashed or rooted in any way. It was handed to me already in apx mode and the back story was simply it wouldnt turn on any more. i asked if it was powered off while updating, or fully discharged or anything but was told no. it was just placed onto the charge when she went to bed and was non functional in the morning. as stated the device is in apx mode, i looked into it and the bootloader is locked so NVFlash is non functional. i have been trying the battery drain method but ive had the power button taped down for 3-4 days now with an otg cable plugged in and other stuff like pen drives etc connected to it to try drain the power to no avail. i got impatient and i tried the disconnect and reconnect the battery method (as the op stated that the battery drain and the battery pull method should have the same effect), but to no avail.
Im beginning to think that its seen its last days as the battery pull method has consistently failed, and i cannot seem to find a j-tag method anywhere.
so, am i correct in thinking that its just spare parts now? device has been OOW for quite a while now and given that the battery was fully charged prior to me obtaining it, it could take weeks to discharge.
If anyone with experience on this issue could chip in that would be great! cheers!

My P7510 is acting like it is bricked. It will not start. I tried the power button and volume combination and nothing works. I connect to my Windows 8 PC only see it in Device manager as "Other Device" as a APX without the drivers loaded. I have charged the device for hours on two different chargers.
It had 50% charge when my nephew was playing Angry Bird and he returned it in what I thought was just sleep mode. I tried turning it on 4 hours after I got it back and it would not come on. I figured the battery was dead so I charged it but to no avail.
It is not rooted and has the stock 4.0.4 Android version.
I cannot ask my nephew what he did because he is autistic and would be scared to deaf it he though he broke my tablet.
Any help is appreciated.

I think the reason nobody has replied because it looks like you did your homework and tried everything that would have been suggested. Unfortunately the battery disconnect is the last resort if it's not hardware. If it was software issues the battery disconnect should have worked AFAIK.
I had to send mine (GT-P7510) in for repair when it went into apx mode. Fortunately for me it was under warranty.
Just a thought, but have you left the battery disconnected for a day or more? Wondering if the tab is holding a charge some way with the battery not connected. Maybe connect something with the battery disconnected to drain all possible remaining charge from the tab. For a day or more even. I've seen stranger things happen even a few who where they said it just started working out of the blue. Not likely to help but might be worth a try.
EDIT-Just had another thought I remember one tab I fixed that was stuck in apx mode and removing the battery didn't help. I diconnected the battery and plugged into the charger held the power button and it booted. I let it do a full start before connecting the battery.
Can't remember for sure, but I may have held power+volume down. Could be worth a shot.

[Fixed]ROM and USB Charging issue

Hey all, I got my phone into a serious problem this time... And myself too
I don't know what happened but I just plugged my phone in, started charging... , no I didn't leave it all day, when it was charged but I found out that it didn't charge further than 75%
I waited 10 minutes, still nothing.
I unplugged, showed that it was charging, I thought it may be lag and rebooted the phone.
Nothing, still same, I plugged my OTG cable in and weirdly it fixed itself but after pulling it out it got back to "charging"...
After a few tries it did the same on the OTG cable, I tried cleaning the USB input thingy on the phone but nothing...
Now I'm forced to stay at the wall plug because the phone lasts seconds thinking it's charging since we know that it runs full-speed.
I tried getting into recovery but... Well, I powered off the phone, managed to get to fast boot and it showed "hboot searching sad card for updates" or something like that! it takes long so I powered it off again and it started itself up without touching, I assume that's because it thinks it's charging.
Can I do something to get that phone back to life or is it time for a new one?
Anyone getting this problem too? Or did anyone have it and fixed it? Please tell me how
Sad to hear this. Have you tried any other chargers?

I tried 3 different chargers each with 3 different cables, an apple charger, some belkin charger and another charger with 700mA
my dad fixed it somehow until it went empty and had to replug the charger, it fixes itself below 10 and above 20 prcent it goes back weird
Well, things going totally insane now, I wanted to format the internal SD and flash a rom with sideload.
Went recovery, wiped everything, started sideload... Computer gave an error, I think it was something with timeout or something idk anymore...
Tried it 20+ times! all same
So I went to install stock recovery, installed it too, everything passed, then locked boot loader with fastboot oem lock, succeeded too, but it showed security warning, but I just went on and installed the European RUU, which failed due to code 158 image error...
Redownloaded that RUU, same thing...
Downloaded others, ran each for 1.5+ hour! but it seemed to take hours instead 20 minutes so i lost hope, I still am able to unlock boot loader,install recovery and stuff but unable to get a rom on it, can anyone at least tell me how to maybe flash ROM through USB OTG? I know that works, right before my phone died I used a PC mouse on it...
I need to fix this phone and sell it quickly, support is dropped also so that's the best idea, I cannot afford to give this phone for maybe 10 euro so I really have to get this fixed.
I got patience until mid-October because the OPO comin out probably, anyway I'm waiting for ANY suggestions to get a rom on it, may be stock, custom idc, I just need it working because I found out that the USB charging problem is hardware, not software, my phone still won't turn off
Thanks in advance -ozi
So guys, today I got a bit upset and disappointed because of the loss I almost made, yeah, almost.
Because I sorted out how to get the phone back to life when this issue happens.
Well, it all started with a full memory, yeah I had 5/64GB free space left.
And my phone got the bug/hardware fail then too, I still don't know what it is, but that isn't fixed yet.
I thought like "what can go wrong if I just try to put my phone to all ZERO".
So without even stopping for a second and thinking what can make a problem, I formatted the whole phone.
I knew I was going to use ADB Sideload but not that it was going to take 3 days.
So I went to Sideload (PhilZ recovery) and while side loading the stuff, it got stuck, approximately 30 percent where it stopped working.
The error was something with protocol if I remember correctly since I'm not having this issue anymore.
This happened maybe 20 times, yes, I was freaking out at the command prompt trying to figure out why it didn't work.
Anyway then after hours of searching my brain reminded me of the ADB Push command I once read somewhere... And immediately researched for it, how to use it and such...
Then I rebooted recovery, did ADB push rom.zip /sdcard ... FAILED
Why did it fail, well, I didn't know...
Got very disappointed this time and went to what I was doing: searching on Google, xda...
Took over a day, to be honest, really, I must say I posted this WAY too early, because I could've searched first.
You know, school, laziness, sleepiness and such.
But back to the point. I've finally found some old files sitting there, taking their space in my HDD, they were These files.
(Download them if you want to fix your phone too.)
I opened it, TOTALLY forgot about it, not even remembering it was there...
I saw flash TWRP recovery and flashed it, since I had no adb connection, the first one failed but then fastboot opened, and my device was at fastboot at that moment, knowing that you need fastboot to flash a recovery.
SUCCEEDED, even if I knew that it was going to succeed, I was happy because it was one of the first things which succeeded .
So I opened recovery, and went to advanced - ADB Sideload
I tried everything again, and this time uninstalled htc sync manager (not the drivers).
It took long, just about 30minutes to transfer a 980MB file, MagioROM...
But at least it WORKED, now I got a working ROM.
Now about the USB issue, I'm going to look further into that, I'll change the title to "ROM and USB Charging issue".
Tho I really think it's just the hardware. And I'll update this when I get some further.
And to the fast-panicing people amongst us (including me), do research and don't give up. This way you will less likely have an expensive brick
So today I went on and opened up my phone, I got nothing better to do anyway, it was still thinking that it's charging, but I made sure it weren't the pogo pins by cleaning them and checking the cables...
It was an USB connector problem, when I touched it a bit with a screwdriver, it went back normal and when I plugged it in it got messed up again.
So the people who got this problem: go warranty before it's too late or do it yourself by buying parts and replacing them, I must say, one x+ was one of the worst jobs to open up a phone tho lol
