RUU_Leo_1_5_TMOUS_2.13.531.1_Radio_Signed_15.39.50.07U_2.10.50.26_2_Ship

try reflash it again. if you can't boot it on, hold vol down + power.

i can not flash it caz it does not reconize the USB connection. when i plug the usb cable to computer, it does not show any link light.

did you try to plug the usb while on the boot screen? if not, turn it off, then hold vol down button + power buttons

reinstall stock rom with SD card.

so? did it work?

could be bent battery pin or discharged battery.
check pins, and if not that, leave battery out for half hour, then put on charge with wall charger. leave it alone to charge, don't be trying it "just to see" after 5 mins.

my phone is not reconizing USB.
i taken out the battery several time but it now seeing anything. . on the phone side, it does not show it is charning etc.
when i press "volume down + power ", nothing happens..
only thing happens when i connect USB, my PC is searching for the drivers
QUALCOMM MSN driver & i do hear the usb plug sound from my pc. when i run microsoft syn, it not seeing my phone.
any idea?
thanks

Off topic but i'm so used to video game forums that I thought it said you needed help boosting

..and the screen stays black, right?
Are you sure you flashed that rom in your OP? cos that behavour sounds more like a non tmous radio, which bricks tmous phones.
Were you careful when flashing? if there are more than one nbh file in the folder when you run teh flash, it will flash the first one alphabetically.

yes, that is correct. it flashed it non tmobile ROM.
is there a way to roll back previous version ? or do anything to make my phone work again ?

no, radios with ..51.. in the version number kill tmous, No one has even managed to start the phone again, let alone fix it.

Get Download Mode with only two buttons

There is another way to access the download by pressing only two buttons. The method is as follows: With the phone off the USB cable is connected only to the mobile. Then tightened simultaneously volume - (minus) and the home key with one hand (which each managed as best they can) and the other is connected to the PC and the phone goes into download mode.
This way has been possible solved a semi-brick.
As my english is not very good here you have a link in spanish wher you can read the problem and the solution.

It isn't really a 3 button download mode anyway, the power is just used to get it powered to notice the volume- and menu are held. By plugging into the pc, you are triggering the power up event instead of using the power key (only if it is a true usb port..my laptop dock has a usb "charge" port that won't trigger the phone power on, it triggers the on screen battery like the ac adapter and only adb works to the phone on that port, not usb mounting or odin).
I actually go to recovery or download by holding menu and vol, and only briefly pressing the power, makes it easier to focus on making sure you hold the vol and menu keys without accidentally releasing too soon (about 5 secs is enough to hold them down as it powers up).

Ok, but in a phone semi-brick without possibilty to access to download mode with the combo of the three buttoms this worked. It's only a new way, only that. Was discovered by accident and i share with you if it can be useful.

Interesting if this can work where vol- + menu and then power doesn't! Good tip then if this is the case.

Has anyone able to do this successfully?

I think the guy who was able to get this done was using a USB jig with pin 4 & 5 shorted with 300+ transistors.
MY GOD THIS WORKS.
I am giving this thread 5 stars & recommending a sticky.
PS : I held Vol Dn + Menu leaving the USB cable plugged into the computer, Then inserted the other end into my phone.

Tested and it works !!!
Hold Volume down + Home button than plug usb in and your in download mode!!
Great

i tried that before it doesn't work for like 60%+ percent of people
because it's heavily dependent on the kind of USB port in use.
most computer don't have the correct USB port to work
and coincidentally, this will only work on people that already have working 3 buttons only
if their phones came shipped without the 3 buttons combo, it doesn't work.
However this is the standard method for all Galaxy S family that is not part of the I9000 line
so that means Nexus S, USA Vibrant, Verizon, and AT&T captivate... all the ones missing the hard button basically.
so the absolute most effective way is the Homemade USB JIG method

Works!
Great!

HARD BRICK... pls help me!

hi. well, i expected this and im doomed.... i had my phone in the fastboot mode and i tried everything i could. i tried the solution and now what happened is the phone is dead.
what happens now is well nothing. it does not power on, it does not go to download mode, it does not go to recovery, it does not even go to the fastboot mode.
when i connect to pc, via usb cable, only thing that comes on my pc is multiple like 10 new drives and it asks me to format them before use. the screen turns on but only show black color. it does not even show LG logo. only black color. when i remove usb and press and hold power button phone turns off. its not even charging.
can any one tell me any solution to this?

See in general there is a thread. If you see multiple partitions then its still fixable. See the thread from no download mode etc as title

Make sure the phone is turned off. I had the same issue. Press power button for 15 seconds or so. Then press volume up,then connect to pc/laptop. It will enter dl mode.

Agreed - I've also experienced this. The phone doesn't power down if you're still connected via USB, so make sure you've unplugged it, and then ensure that you're powered down by holding the power button for a while. Then, while holding down VolUp, connect the USB cable. You may need to try this a few times.

hard bricked moto g5 plus

yesterday i instaleed latest version of pixel experience and magisk and connected my phone to the charger and slept over night in moring i saw that my phone was off i thought may be the charger was loose i checked and found out that my phonwe is not working no charge no led no twrp no fastboot no response while conneting it to the computer is there any way i can switch on the phone at least i triedto charge the phone but no good no response charged almost 8 hour no effect

Maybe it is in stuck in SOD (Sleep of Death)... Try holding down the power button for 30+ seconds, if that fails it is likely toast because if you can't get it to turn on there isn't much you can do.
EDIT: One other possibility, connect the USB port to a computer but before you connect it the phone, press and hold VOL DOWN and then connect the cable while you continue to hold that button, it may bring you into the fastboot menu after 5-10 seconds.

What was the version you installed?

S7 Edge Dead

Hi guys, so I was flashing the FloydQ and once booted it asked me to put WiFi password. I did it but then it gave me black screen and the smartphone won't turn on no matter what I do and it was at 100% battery. I tried:
- Recovery combination (Home Button + Vol Up + Power)
- Fastboot combination (Home Button + Vol Down + Power)
- Connect it to the PC with windows
- Conncet it to the PC with Linux
- Tried to see if magically the ADB would find it
- Disconnect battery for hours
- Charging it the whole night (about 6 hours)
The result was always the same, absolutely nothing. I have also an USB Volt Meter and it take 5.10V and 0.23A that I think is reasonable because it has the battery at 100%. What can I do to try to revive it? Any suggestion?

Flashing a rom should not make any phone dead, your phone seems to be hard stuck simply, you need to hold vol down+home+power buttons to force reboot..
Read your rom's f.a.q, avoid any things/accessories which may cause compatibility issue..
If above fix doesn't work, hold power button while connecting phone to pc, or holding keys for download mode.
If still not work, you may need to use a usb jig i fear, but this shouldn't happen..

So I found this schematics and noticed that the phone get hot where the U7000 AP PMIC that is the power IC. It can be find online like S535 Power IC, already ordered and I hope to restore the phone. It couldn't be the ROM because I managed to boot it, and also trying like you said, nothing appear on my PC

Ah, really a bad luck/co-incidence to happen, a hardware fault at the same time after flashing a custom rom..
Maybe you should report it to the respective rom developer, who knows if there maybe a correlation between driver and wrong irq values and causing hardware damage ?
It is a known fact that samsung ufs chips can take millions of flashes, but its a fact too that an interrupted flash process or disconnecting cable in the middle of flashing when happens multiple times, can cause memory chip damage.
But all in all a phone board being killed by a wrong/incompatible driver is very unlikely.. you may just have been one of the unlucky ones, still report to the devs of your rom. Good luck

Hi,
I have the same issue with my S7. Did you fix this problem by replacing the U7000?

Honestly no, I was not that good soldering. I bought the motherboard from aliexpress in the end

If its not yet solved after 2 years, my suggestion is to flash a stock rom in it.
STOCK ROMS FOR S7 EDGE
Just search your device model in the link, Download it and flash it using odin.
I hope it helps even if i'm 2 years late
