Hey guys,
It's my second S4 as the first one died during the night two months ago (rooted with Google edition rom).
So on my new one I didn't install any custom rom, I didn't root it, everything stock.
But yesterday night I didn't put it to charge during the night so my battery went to 0%, and in the morning it refused to power up. But after many tries it woke up. The problem is that in the evening I rebooted the phone, and it got stock on the blue LED aaaaaaaaand that's it... it gets detected by the computer as QUALCOMM HS-USB QDLOADER so I guess it's hard bricked, how the f***?
Any ideas? I really hate Samsung right now.

Its not hard bricked if possible try charging the phone to max and then try
u can also try other battery if u have
Already did, went to the store and tried a new battery.. the phone powers up SOMETIMES, like I have to pull out the battery 50 times before it starts up, and if I restart the phone, it dies again.
I went for a refound and I'll get the Xperia Z1, a friend's S4 died the same way as mine....

Time to send it to repair center? Why not?
I won't send it to the repair service (takes too long) AND it's my second S4 that dies the same way so I won't give another chance to sammy. I told them that my phone got stolen so I'll get a refound

hey all, like most people here, i've been flashing my phones like crazy for the past couple days to trying out all the new roms it's been fine for the last couple days and sundenlly it just stop working this morning. It wouldn't turn on or anything, when i plug the usb in, window gives me an error as it cannot connect to the phone. I try the charger and it wouldn't charge(the charging light on the phone wouldn't turn on). I just got my phone replace last week due to theft. So is my phone bricked? I've flashed my phone alot and each time i wipe everything, could that be the problem? if i take it back to sprint store you think they would send me a new one? thanks.
Take it in and find out...
Just curious... what rom were you running when that happened?

Pull out the battery, remove charger.
Put the battery back in and dont press anything. Plug it into the wall and see after ~60 seconds you get a charge light.
I just got my phone replaced with the exact problem. Took it to sprint and they ordered me a new one under the HTC warranty, no problem. I didnt say anything about flashing just that it stopped charging and would not turn on anymore.

Just remember that if they get the phone to boot after you turn it in and they find out its rooted/ROM'd that they can fine you the entire price of the phone. Not trying to scare you but it has happened to people. However, it does seem there have been quite a few complaints about USB "issues".

I too have had the usb charging issue. Try moving the usb cable around in the phone and see if it contacts. Mine does by lifting up on it. I called Sprint to see what they can do and they said that it is caused by the user. I laughed at them and said some not so nice words then hung up on them. Then took it to a Sprint store and they ordered a new one for me without any questions.
as a side note I am glad they are replaceing it cause now the speaker is blown and the paint is peeling from the power button.
Also, FYI, my kid's hero's charger died on him (the one out of the box). We thought his phone was broken because it would not charge or be recognized by the USB. Then we tried out my charger and, boom, all good.
Worth a shot....
alright guys, thx everyone for the reply, status update: I try everything that was mention here, pull bat and putting it back(several times), moving charging cables, letting the charger sit 60sec, none of it work. I know my phone wasn't out of batteries cuz when i went to sleep it was about 86% left, so i thought my bat blew out on me after a week of usage. so i just left my phone in my pocket and after a while it started getting hot, i was like wtf, and took out the bat immediately. i leave the bat out for about 30min, put that sucker in again, and voila, it power up, everything was back to normal...anyone know wth's going on? of course i'm very happy my phone is working again
So.. I have been spending more time with my hd desire.... but I had some major issues with my new focus. It froze on me once or twice (windows ) and it randomly restarted.... but the most troubling aspect is it is not charging.... the first day I had it... I left it on the usb cord... the ENTIRE night.... it did not charge at all?!!
So last night, I did a reset and tried a wall charge... nothing... then I did a FULL format/hard reset and back into the wall overnight.... now it is at 40%
what gives? I know no phone could take 28 hours to charge? Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated... I tried the battery pull, restarting etc
thx
update: I called samsung and they said take it in to my carrier, they will send it out? Rogers does not know anything about these phones yet?
Return the phone and get a new replacement while you can. Obviously a hardware defect. If you wait past 30 days, you will have to settle with refurbs for your warranty replacement.
I bought it from Ontario but I live in Winnipeg, they said I had to bring it back to the orignal store for replacement... and there are no focus here.... pretty lame so far!
hahaha, rogers says I did not buy it from them.... the imei # does not match, so I have to go through samsung, samsung says they do NOT repair or exchange phones and I have to go through rogers or the store of purchse.... which is not possible, cheaper to buy another phone then fly to ontario
samsung is crap, never again.
If you did actually buy it from a Rogers store and you have a receipt to prove it, then you can contact customer service and speak to a supervisor. They will arrange for you to ship it to them and they will ship you back a new unit.
So, for all of you that has a normal working phone... any freezes/issues? I am guessing all my problems were from some hardware issue
I liked typing on the phone....

I had this exact problem with my phone the first few days I had it.. let it charge over night and it still showed an empty battery and gave me the warning beep every few minutes.. i was about to take it back to the store to replace it when i came across a set of instructions for entering diagnostic mode and listing the battery details (sorry i forget the exact sequence of keys but you should find it on here). All of the battery details were 0 or none which confirmed there was an issue.. after exiting this diagnostic mode the battery started registering correctly.. no problems since..

Bad USB Cable?
I wonder if it was just a bad USB cable?
Charging the phone by USB to PC is CRAP! I tried to charge it that way over an afternoon, and the charge meter barely moved. Switched to using the wall plug, and the battery charged fairly quickly.
D
I tried the wall charger for 12 hours..... tried it all.... thx

update: I went to lunch with a friend... he was late, so I went into a rogers plus store... she had 1 in stock... so I bought it, brand new, sealed $671.... yesterday I did my best to kill the phone, now... 3 hours later the phone is not charging at all and I had to pull the battery, just like my used one.... so now, after the battery pull and being plugged into the wall charger... it just has the battery symbol with the plug on it.....
If I can get into the phone, i will try the dianostic thing, but seriously? wtf, but now I have the receipt... and a 15 day return policy.... but come on, I just want a windows 7 phone that works?
did the battery thing.... lots going on over the 3 pages... not sure what I was looking for... although, I seen the battery go from 1 to 2... maybe it is charging now.... will update soon, but this is pretty weird for a brand new phone?
** did a soft reset, battery pull... charged for awhile... still not moving, I go into the battery thing again... now it says 10%.... so I get out of there and see some battery charge.... but it has been on there for awhile and has not moved... so I go back in, now it says 29%.... screwy stuff, I will see what it says after being on the wall charger all night.
I had my epic 4g and Odined to Dk28 with gps fix, clockwork, etc.
I played paintball and some of the dust went inside but when i got home i wiped the keyboard and slider. slider seems fine
I had the GPS running for about 2 hours until I got home. There was about 1/3 or 1/2 juice left but then It shut down and restarting, stating it only had no power left.
I took out the battery and it still boot loops (it gets to home screen - loads sd card/usb debugging/wifi and gps are on, but then reboots. im not even able to turn it off.
I tried pressing 1 and power for odin, it worked once or twice, but i wasnt able to flash it and restore it. (Yellow Com) but failed or not work.
after that 1 and power doesnt do anything, and neither does power, vol down, and camera.
please help, as i need to go back to work tomorrow.
thanks in advance.
Boot into Download Mode, flash back to stock (check the Epic Wiki for instructions), start over. Sounds like you've just got a bug somewhere in the whole process. Unless you've deleted, moved or whatever'd something you shouldn't have, you shouldn't be having this issue.
There is a thread for fixing bricked Epics.
If you press pwr, 1+pwr, vol. down+camera+pwr and nothing comes on nor charge light (red) comes on when plug in, then you have a very shiny expensive paper weight.
Sorry bro. I have one sitting on my desk with no insurance (OUCH)...
no light when i plug into usb or charger. cannot get into download mode. Wow i could brick a phone in under 3 weeks of getting it. going to sprint store.
Let us know what they say, Last time i went into the sprint store for an exchange they intentionally split water on the water damage film to try to say I voided my warranty. the reality is that they had already done diagnostics on the phone before they did this little trick so i was able to threaten to call my lawyer and got a replacement. I hate sprint so much....
Ouch, how did you know they already ran a diagnoses on it?
fone magically unbricked itself so i was able to get into download mode an Odin a 2.2 again. but the battery seems iffy...and this is only 3 week using the phone. its at 9% charged but shuts off. need to see if i can fully charge it. but may end up getting new phone at sprint store since its under 30 days and fone still looks new.
Maybe you just got a bad battery

Sounds like you need to reset your battery stats.
didnt get new phone yet since phone hasnt bricked itself again yet.
i fully charged it last night and took it off teh charger before i went to sleep. now 10 hours later. its at 66% is that NORMAL?
sprint cust support said i should use default CHARGER to get best charging results. im using a ebay generic CABLE on USB does that matter? do they mean charger or cable or both?
A plain USB cable used to charge on a PC only draws 380mA to charge. A wall charger, like the one included with the phone, will charge at 600mA.
But still, neither should take the 10 hours you are seeing really. Wall charger is usually 3-3.5 hrs and USB charging is somewhere around 5-6.

66% after 10hrs of use seems normal to me.
sry double post. using tether internet...
UH OH!
I was installing from some apks and the phone got into boot loop AGAIN!
I'm thinking about going to sprint and exchanging it. But im afraid of rooting it again...bc i think it might trigger the boot loop again. Any ideas?
re: last post, 66% after 10 hours of idle with screen off (this is "use"?) is normal?

Odin that thing back to 2.1 and exchange it.
I've managed to brick my phone BIG TIME, and i'm posting this thread as a last resort.
Since Saturday my phone is bricked, I've already gone through the process of the HS-USB 9006 and 9008 successfully, the tool on 9008 even tested my phone and all tests went ok.
But, when I reconnect the battery and then to the usb my led is blinking red, that's it.
I heard that the battery is empty and that in order to charge (it doesn't get charged by connecting the a wall charger) I should press volume+ and connect to usb for a few minutes.
Well I've tried that, it didn't helped, I even tried taping a rubber so it will press on the button and kept it over night - didn't helped.
On the plus side in one of my attempts to recover the phone it did went on to download mode for 4-5 seconds, but then the battery died again.
Any recommendation anyone? would really appreciate your help.
BTW d801 here if that matters
Just wondering, maybe the battery is somehow drained/borked and you just have to buy a new one?

Hi,
I got my A2017G bricked and I dont really understand how: I had the bootloader unlocked a few hours ago, but i hadnt done anything with it. Than I accidentally long pressed the powerbotton, while turning the phone off. Than the phone turned off and since than im not abled anymore to turn the phone on - the phone does not responds in any way. When pluged into my computer, the phone shows up as: Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COM3)
The Phone runs ZTE owns Android Oreo and is not rooted.

I Already tried out the solution above. It didnt worked with the linked MiFlash so I used a slightly newer one which than told me "Error: Timeout while writing" after 15 Seconds.
Do you guys have any Idea what I could try to repair my phone? Otherwise Id just send it in, I still have half a year of warrenty.
