[WARNING]Bricking One V is very Easy..WORKING FIX BY GLOBATRON ADDED :D - HTC One V

SCENARIO 1: MOST DANGEROUS!! NOW FIXABLE
All One Series phoneshaving been facing this problem of QHSUSB_DLOAD where the phone is completely bricked and rendered unusable. It has been reported by many people that pressing Volume Up + Power instead of Volume Down + Power can be a deadly mistake...You have to send the phone to HTC and they will repair it but instead you could avoid this brick by being a tad bit careful and not pressing the Volume Up instead of Down...
This is just one case but it may also happen in other cases but this is easily avoidable unlike others which just happen out of the blue...This is one precaution which can help you.
SCENARIO 2: POTENTIAL BRICK!
Also if battery is extremely either switch it off or wait for it to switch off...Do Not REBOOT YOUR PHONE...That might just cause this above error as well....
SCENARIO 3: TOOOO LONG!
Do not hold your Vol Down +Power Down for toooo long like 10+seconds or it might cause a brick. IF it doesnt go to bootloader or if you are scared use this fastboot command: adb reboot bootloader or try the button combination again..
SCENARIO 4: STAY AWAY FROM ROM MANAGER
Please stick to the safe way of flashing by accessing recovery manually and refrain from the use of Rom Manager..It uses fakeflash which is potentially dangerous for most phones...
SCENARIO 5: THE UNPRECEDENTED ONE!
The above scenario just happens..It might have no proper explanation like it happened to someone while he was talking on the phone...etc

Is this issue only for phones with unlocked boot-loader and rooted?

Pretty ridiculous that a simple key combination can brick a phone. Hopefully HTC fixes this ASAP.

Wow wtf. Nice heads up.

:good: I bricked my phone this way, too. so this warning is no joke! thank God HTC replaced my phone instead of repair it. for root user, I recommend you to use reboot app, so you can avoid this deadly brick.

Wow..
Not that I doubt any of the info given here, earlier I did try vol+ and pwr a few times and get into some kind of download mode, so I rebooted and nothing changed. So maybe it is something in addition to getting into that mode.

Can this maybe be used to get s-off? Download mode sounds like something that might be able to write to hboot

hi shubham add it in your thread that holding power button and vol down button simultaneously for a while can hard brick your phone and you will get your phone replaced by htc.....

dude this happened to me two times when you will hold power and vol down at the same time for 10-20 seconds phone will be dead...i know that power and vol down makes phone go into BL but if you press both at the same time for a while that leads your phone to dead(In my case two times)....

Yup, I can confirm. This is what happened to me. I didn't press Vol Up, just Down + Power and I think I held it for too long, then I got the dreaded UHUSB_DLOAD error.
It's at HTC right now, so hopefully get it back soon.

So you can press volume up + power at any time and it'll just brick your phone? Do you have to hold it? Seriously... I can't believe a phone gets released in this state. I will never buy another HTC phone again.

The *intended* function of Vol Up + Power is actually for accessing stock recovery after you choose it in bootloader :O Have no idea why it'll be linked to bricking.

Few desire problems

Hi,I managed to root my desire and now I just need to flash rom. But I cant get into recovery menu.I tryed with rom manager,tryed with power+ volume up. Both end up same : phone starts vibrating and just shows htc logo in white screen. Can any1 help me with this problem? Also, I downloaded Cpu tuner in hopes that my phone would stop rerstarting. But that dont seem to work...max - 998, min - 245. Maybe I should make max lower ? It restarts in apps. 10 min. max of any app/game and restart. While I watch movie it happens only 1 time in middle. Also when I'am charging it,it can restart even while I'm scrolling in menu.
Put the phone in refrigerator for only 5 minutes and then start the recovery. If it still restarts then flash your desired ROM while keeping the phone into refrigerator.

Well that sounds crazy but logical
Yeah its sound crazy but this is the solution right now for boot loop problem caused by increased temperature of mainboard.
Before executing the refrigerator trick, ensure that you don't have any software problem by factory resetting.

Yes,I know. But when I select recovery my phone just starts vibrating and shows just htc logo. I read somewhere that then you need to press power+vol up. Anyway that dont work for me Anyway. I have few q about radio. I want to install LeeDrOiD v2.5 and it needs some radio. I downloaded Radio 32.56.00.32U so I wanna ask how to install it and will I be able to use my phone for calling and texting? I mean maybe it changes something?
first hit volume down and then power button if u do vice versa phone will restart. simple

K,DevNull works. But not how I expected it to. Phone still restarts when I use almost any app or game. Maybe some1 have any idea why?
what about your recovery? it solved? the restart problem might be caused by over heating the mainboard.. Max of 998mhz is the normal clock of the snapdragon cpu and must not make any problem... if force close problems do Fix Permissions by recovery (if recovery is present, if not reply so I'll guide you through flashing of recovery process..)
Good Luck

Welcome to reboot problem. You are not alone having this problem, I am with you as well. Mainboard is the problem that's why I asked you to put your phone into refrigerator. If you have warranty then get it replaced.

[Q] How to do if HTC ONE X crashed.

Hi guys.
I'm ready to buy HTC ONE X on 3/20.
I've searched about the feature about HTC ONE X.
I found that HTC ONE X can't change the battery.
I'm using HTC Desire now with custom rom.
If my Desire crashed, the only way is drawing out the battery.
So, how to do if HTC ONE X crashed?
Will it have a security against that?
Moreover, will HTC ONE X have HDMI output just like Sensation XE?
Thanks
HTC sources said holding the power button for a certain amount of time will force shut down the device, we don't know if software coded or hardware
It should be hardware based for a very long pressed event.
Sent from my LT15i using XDA
for devices like these there are always hard reboot options a la iPod and iPhone with DFU and recovery mode and the hard reboot via holding power and home for x seconds.
I have a Xoom tablet and have loaded many custom roms, etc, and have been in a few boot loops and had a few crashes etc, the Xoom has a non-removable battery also and its never been an issue, you just use the specific key combination (on the Xoom power + vol up if I remember correctly...) and it restarts. This has never failed for me and much more convient that pulling the battery.

One V Dead!

Today morning while sending an SMS, my phone got hanged and auto-restarted.
It got hung on the boot screen.
Then when i tried to restart it again, it stopped responding.
Now I only get 6-7 vibrations when I try to start the phone and then nothing happens. Hard reset is not working either.
I had not rooted the phone.
Can anyone tell me what to do?
i know this may sound REALLY stupid and as i dont have my ONE V yet is just a stab in the dark....does it need charging at all??? or will it boot with the charger connected for about 15-20mins?
I tried that as well...
My battery was almost full before the phone died.
I put it on charging for almost and hour to see if it makes any difference. But it still wont start...
sounds like a service centre job
can u get into bootloader mode? if yes its just a soft brick u can solve it easily just flash any of the custom roms. or stock ruu
and your phone will be fine
did u rooted it?
and bfre this happened what did you do? tried changing fonts?

If, as you say, you didn't root it, then the software is probably not screwed up. Could very well be the hardware, in which case you'll have to have it repaired or replaced.
You've probably done this, but try holding the power button down for a really long time, until the buttons flash about 10 times. Then try different combinations of holding the power button plus holding the volume-down key to try getting into recovery.

he has not rooted his phone - no recovery, only bootloader.
he didn't said that he arrives at htc one logo. He cannot START his phone at all!
read again and read it good before posting stuff..
as per the problem, dude, if you put it to charge, you see the yellow led? it is turning on? if it does, then you still have hope. leave it recharged for 15-20 minutes and as you recharge it, press and hold volume button DOWN and power button, if this process goes ok you will see a white background with some text in it and a menu. this is called bootloader. if you can arrive here, you don't need to go to warranty with the device.

I tried charging it for half an hour, the led does not blink.
I am not able to enter recovery mode either. Tried pressing Volume down + Power and all possible combinations of volume and power button.
I dont know why I am not able to enter the bootloader.
I contacted HTC and they said I should give it to the service centre. Hoping that they repair it since its under warranty...
Try holding down volume and pressing power for more than 10 seconds. If it still doesn't boot into hboot you will have to take it to a service center.
Since you haven't flashed anything on to it or modified it, I'd say it's a hardware problem. Send it back for replacement.
:banghead: Please keep all question related threads in the Q&A section. Thank You.

No luck mate done that many times.. If I hold the UP Volume button.. the phone vibrates for 3-4 times and the orange LED flashes... No luck with DOWN Volume button with power Just phone switches off..
Hold volume down button and while holding it down then press the power button. Phone must be off for that to work.
Edit: Grant barker, you deserve a thanks just for taking your time to write all of that

I agree with ben hogin and Teichopsia.
1. Make sure the battery is charged enough.
2. Take the battery out and put it back in. This resets something. (Make sure the battery cover is secure too.)
3. Hold down the volume down key and then press the power key (while still holding down the volume down key).
4. (I usually do this with the phone usb disconnected. Not sure if it makes a difference.)
I'd also take out the SD Card just to eliminate some contact issue or something with that. When I'm desperate I try anything..
I did all those and I just went to the mobile store where I always buy phones ( kinda close ) so he said he has to do this ztag..

It´s jtag...anyway, to be bricked means that u can´t even turn the phone on. The question is how did u get to that state? have u installed anything or was just stock?
If you tried flashing something then the file could have been corrupted or maybe was not for your phone. That won´t brick your phone unless u flash a bootloader (included in RUU's) that is not for your device.
If you were stock, then the most common issue is a messed volume rocker, but could be something else related to hardware. :good:
My bets on volume rocker problems.
it happend to me as well try to use RUU its the only way.

possibly bricked using rom toolbox to change

So i installed the deodexed rom and went to change.fonts with rom toolbox
Phone boot looped a few times and couldnt get it into flash mode. Its now currently sitting with a grey screen cant do anything with it. Holding power + volume.up does nothing. Computer.not recognizing a phone being.plugged in. Maybe someone has an ideal to help. (Im new to sonys done lots of flashing with other phones though)
Ps its a rogers lt28i running ics locked bootloader
Will wait for it to die and see.if i can get into flash mode then this just wanted to post this as a warning aswell as maybe find other solutions

No need to let the battery die.
Connect phone via USB cable to the PC.
Now simultaneously press the power + vol up .. till it vibrates once.
The moment it vibrates, press vol down, without releasing power button.
The phone should be in flash mode. now you can use the flash tool.
It worked for me.
thanks but that's not doing anything . I think I'm going to have to wait till it dies :S.. hopefulyy its dead by the morning lol... im getting tired of my Zombie droid razr lol
