I received an SGH-T989 that wouldn't boot. It had TWRP on it, so I was able to flash latest stable CWM. Upon reboot, it apparently became hard-bricked.
Currently, I'm unable to enter download or recovery modes. USB Jig does not work. There is no output on the screen, even when charging the battery. When connected in Windows (32 or 64), I get a usb error message: "This device is disabled because the firmware of the device did not give it the required resources. (Code 29)"
My question: Is the motherboard dead, or could a jtag repair fix it?
What I've tried:
multiple micro usb cables
usb jig
odin
keis
heimdall
Thanks xda!

That would be great! I did see the S3 fix that loads a debrick.img from sdcard - would that work with hardbricked? Windows wouldn't load the usb drive for my phone, complaining that the firmware didn't give the "required resources". So if the firmware is borked, I'm not sure it would be able to load an external img.
I couldn't wait, though. Sent it out for jtag repair :fingers-crossed:

Jtag should always do the job, unless there was physical damage done to the motherboard.

The t989 has great specs, only downside is its PPI (really low) if you still love it, I would wait if you want to send it into JTAG repairs, we are on the verge of unbricking our t989 without JTAG! Looks like we need someone with a working t989D though
I have been studying the other 'unbrick' methods, its definatly mind expanding, the amount of knowledge absorbed can seriously make you forget time n space.
If there is anything I can do / contribute holler at me.
Now ill tell you something weird so I flashed a rom not meant for T989D plus I did it all without being rooted. (if it matters) since Since the flash the phone doesn't boot into recovery or show a bootanimation, just darkness.Yet it felt operational in hand.
Once I plugged it back into the PC all I got was a constant notification of drivers that cannot be identified Also it keeps connecting and disconnecting the device.
None of this is weird until I installed OMAP flash and the T.I. drivers for which was used to fix my friends nexus. After he left I plugged my s2 to the PC still nothing. I looked away for a brief moment . Then i noticed MobileGo for Android popped on screen. Visually showing my s2 as an Alcatel rom.
just bizzare.....
The unbrick method on the S2 is a little different, but in General, at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2646310 after a little work, I resurrected a QHSUSB_DLOAD 9025 T989D to the point of ODIN and fully working Android OS working, just missing recovery.. Soon to follow in a day or so.

Hi, so I also have a hard bricked t989 galaxy s2 (tmobile variant) and I'm attempting to understand the instructions. However my phone has another issue...usb connection to the computer does not work, it hasn't worked since the micro usb port on the phone was replaced because the old one broke. So really the phone could charge but never connect to my pc as it cant be detected...so what are my options? If i create the sd card with the image, will i still need to connect it to a pc in order to force the phone into download mode? Please help...

so I was installing a new boatloader through odin and it failed to install; so I disconnected it. Ever since then, my computer simply will NOT recognize my phone. I have tried every possible method (using different slots and cable). Still, it will not recognize my phone at all.
Has anyone here ever encountered a similar situation and have found a solution?
I would highly appreciate any help. Thanks
What does the phone boot to?
Have you tried a USB jig?
The bootloader takes seconds to flash. Did you really press start and immediatly pull the USB cord? or did it not complete then you pulled the cord? If the latter, what did ODIN say in the logs?
I can get into odin or recovery mode with no problem, I loaded a custom testing version of an ICS Rom that failed to completely install.
I am waiting for my usb jig to come in the mail.
It installed like 80% and then said failed, then I removed it because it said it failed.
I know all my drivers are good because my sister has the same phone and it is unrooted and odin recognizes it fine.

If you can get into Odin mode then Odin should be able to recognize your phone. Are you sure that Odin on your PC is not recognizing your phone?
Also, try flashing the el26 stock rooted update through cwm. Calk has the appropriate zip over in the dev section.

Where did you find a boatloader for our phones?!?!?!? That would be a truly Epic accessory for all boatloading enthusiasts! Think of the activities!
Haha, in all seriousness though, I hope you can get it figured out man, bricked phones are no fun!
yes, im 100% sure, Ive read of a few cases of people having similar problem. Problem that come from disconnecting a phone while loading a new boatloader. Once that happens, odin will not recognize a phone even if it is in Odin mode. Ive spent atleast 15 hours in total trying to get it to work

Is this one made for E4GT or one for the european GS2?
If you can get into recovery just take the sd card out and put it in a sd reader and put a rom on there and flash it. I would use the stock rom. Something simillar happened to me and this is how I fixed it. I didnt have a card reader so I just used my digital camera, Thank god for that!!! Hope it all works out.

Your problem isn't that you disconnected the phone while flashing a new bootloader.
Your problem is you flashed the european GS2 version of the bootloader. After doing that the USB port is pretty much disabled and nobody has found how to enable it.
interesting... any theoretical methods to get it to work? do you think there will be a solution to fix it?

Nothing should be flashed to the Epic Touch unless its in the development section for the Epic Touch. Even then you should read up and know the pros and cons of flashing it. I don't recall anyone getting their phone back after doing this.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
Well Mobile ODIN won't flash the bootloader AFAIK, so if you have no way to flash the bootloader, the only other possibility will probably be JTAG, which is basically opening up the phone connecting to some pins/leads on the board and using some software to flash. I haven't seem anyone posting about this but probably there are techs who have the proper setup to do it.
damn, do you think if I go to a sprint corporate store and just say I was trying to update the phone via samsung kies OTA or something, will they be able to fix it? I am waiting for my jig to come in the mail to clear the download count, any opinions what I should tell sprint to avoid getting my warrenty voided?

Ya because like everyone else said flashing that file that wasnt for your phone messed up the sd reader. Same thing happened to me once but I was still able to acess the internal storage that the phone has built in but i didnt have any roms on there. I was however able to flash through odin and dowload mode. Thank god that worked for me! If that isnt working for you I gotta be honest I really dont see a way to get the phone back up and running but I am by no means a pro. I would keep at it. When I almost bricked my phone I was going to give up too but I stuck with it and the fine people on this site pulled me through! You are at the right place trust me very smart people here!
thanks, this phone has been bricked for a week, Im still waiting on my usb jig to come in the mail so i can hopefully clear the binary download count because I want to take it to sprint? since my usb and sd reader isnt working, will the usb clear the odin thing? if it doesnt, im completely screwed. im willing to short out my phone worst case scenario... I need it a replacement (i dont have insurance but i have warrenty)... any ideas? should i short it out or take it to sprint... what excuse should I make up if I decide to take it?
Will the usb jig clear the download count even though my usb and sd reader doesnt work. (the phone still charges through usb)

Ya if you have warranty i would actually just short it out! I had a friend that had an iPhone and he hooked it up to a computer with a messed up usb. It shorted it out, he took it back with his warranty info and walked out with a brand new iPhone no questions asked. If you dont and they see that it was routed you are going to be **** out of luck I can tell ya that. They definitely will inspect it to make sure there was no foul play with it trust me, best bet if you cant get it running is to short it out, and use the warranty. When you take it in just say it went off and you couldn't get it to go back on.
Honestly breaking the phone is your best option since the insurance will cover that. If you short it out or make the batter overload while it's in the phone then it's covered by the warranty. Also, clearing the download counter is pointless - if Sprint does manage to fix your phone it'll be pretty obvious you did something that made it FUBAR - mostly the international GS2 bootloader. Also, isn't the international GS2 GSM? Which means you can't reset it using a JIG, GSM versions don't support it.
Either way when you get a new one - make sure you read EVERYTHINGlet me say this again since people seem to take this stuff lightly: READ EVERYTHING BEFORE FLASHING if we had ICS for this phone don't you think the Dev section would be blowing up with ICS ROMs? Common sense seems to be the one thing that isn't common anymore....
Hope you figure something out though but I wouldn't hold my breath.
hi
i hard bricked my lg 930
how ?
i followed this step

i tried install ClockworkMod (CWM) since i installed the koereean rom and (no wi-fi to install tru rom manager)
is anything i can do for my phone like i'm not able to go in download mode, i can't see anything on screen. black
while i connect the usb cable i can hear a sound like connecting to computer
thanks a lot
We would need some more information to know if your phone is truly bricked.
does your device show up via ADB?
does it show up with B2CAppSetup program?
have you followed the unbricking solution?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1597488
an important part of getting the phone into download mode is unplugging the usb at the right time during a hard reboot with the volume up held.
hope any of this helps but hopefully we will hear back with more info.

@Maverick.Marq,
No, we don't really need more info to know his phone is hosed. Basically he has flashed a supposed CWM image on top of one of the bootloader partitions instead of the recovery partition. Everyone should contact these guys and tell them their guide is horribly, horribly wrong. They never responded to my email...but maybe if more people contact them about it, they'll remove their stupid guide.

in second computer i had many phone drivers like sony xperia play, htc evo 3d or htc desire
it's show zeus flash device with exclamation and now QHSUSB_DLOAD like the other computer - see " error desktop device manager zeus flash device"
i made 2 posts because i can't upload more then 4 images
i think to force to take driver for QHSUSB_DLOAD but how can i do that because i tried with propietes, update driver and don't want to take " android_winusb.inf" from lg drivers
i found in adb/adroid-sdk/extras/google a file android_winusb.inf and i have 3 choises (of course, i try to force to take the drivers,)

LOL, I have no idea why you're trying to use Nero, but yes you are correct -- recovery images should be 16MB (16777216 bytes).
That's not the issue though. The issue is that you flashed something to the mmcblk0p6 partition, which is bad.

Hi there! First of all I don't speak english very well.
My Galaxy Nexus hard bricked yesterday.
tl;dr no boot animation, no recovery mode, no download mode, no response from computer.
I thought it had just a low battery level, I found it turned off. So I tried to recharge it but it gave no signals, no battery icon, nothing.
After an all night long recharge I tried to turn it on, to enter in download mode or in recovery mode but nothing works. I also tried to connect it with my computer with and without battery, no response, no "OMAP" device found, no sound from Windows for plugging it in, nothing.
I found this thread here in xda, many people has been redirected to it and found their solution to the brick problem.
I tried to follow all the steps but when I plug in the phone and start the .bat file nothing happens, just stuck on "Waiting for device".
The phone is unlocked and rooted. I'm running AOKP JB-MR1 Build 2 and Franco Kernel for a month, never had problems with them, never installed other ROMs after that.
What should I do now? Should I try to do something or just bring it to a support center? The phone is still in warranty, there would be any problem because it has a non-stock ROM?
I've red about a jig to force the Odin mode, should I buy it? (I found this one)
Thanks for the help.

Yes, it doesn't work.
have you your warranty on it?
return it and get a new one
It's hard bricked and a JTAG unit may force it into download mode, if you send it in for warranty, chances are it won't be accepted as it was obviously tampered with and they would find out that your bootloader is unlocked and charge you more money than the device is actually worth to fix it.
I don't understand how it could of bricked if nothing has changed on the phone for a month or longer. Nothing was flashed recently so how can you hard brick the phone?

Try This !!
Arrange a 4 ohm resistor and try to attach it in ur usb plug port of phone ..it 'll force the phon eto go in download mode or say Fastboot mode.
then follow a tutorial to flash any rom..
its quite easy else ping me !!

Please could you explain a bit more how to go about this? I have a Verizon Galaxy Nexus in a somewhat similar condition. This one is recognised as an OMAP 4430 device. I downloaded OMAP Flasher, installed drivers and tried to bring it back to life but after running the batch file I get this error: Operation FAILED (Remote: : Driver init error 0x00FF8080 - MMC CONFIG FAILURE). Can the resistor trick work on this and if yes, how can I go about it? I am not faint-hearted; I think I can handle it if given the right instructions.
After I tried everything i could from the internet, I went to a shop and tested to see if the USB is broken - and indeed it was. I replaced the USB component of the phone and after that it started.
Thanks guys

Yeah, the faulty USB port is a very common issue.
Hey guys,
My Galaxy s3 is pretty much useless at the moment. I had it rooted a while back and decided to unroot it. I used Odin and the stock rom for telus galaxy s3 sgh-i747m. Odin did its job and showed it was done successfully, however the phone never booted back up even with holding the combo buttons (VolumeUp+home+power). Also my computer cannot detect the phone driver via usb cable showing QHSUSB_DLOAD, but it does make a beeping sound when connecting it or holding the combo keys while it's plugged in via usb cable.
I used a usb jig hoping it would get it to boot into download mode but no luck. I can take it for a JTAG and get it fixed, but since I screwed up I rather spend some more time and learn to fix it myself. A friend mentioned about QPST in order to get it to download mode and using a similar stock rom reprogram the phone, which I'm not familiar with.. anyone can give me a hint how to go bout this your help is much appreciated
If you need more info or i missed something please let me know...

Im not a pro, but it sound like a wrong rom was flashed. Good luck mate!
I know it's for another device but most of these still apply, I'd suggest giving them a try: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1953930
QHSUSB_DLOAD is a sure sign of a hard brick.

Odin doesn't detect it yet.. QPST detects it as "download mode" on COM4 in the QPST Configuration.
I was doing some experiment with DriveDroid and now I am in big mess.
I think I messed up with drivedroid settings and I was not able to see my phone (oneplus 3 rooted LOS 15.1 ) on my computers.
I have tried different computers but all cant detect my phone.
I have tried drivedroid wizard, different usb systems, different usb settings and no luck.
I have tried uninstalling the drivedroid and still no luck.
The phone was going in charging mode only. Its was not going to MTP mode so I can see the phone internal storage in computer
I have tried to do factory reset also but no luck.
Now I mistakenly wiped data partition also and now the phone is with
No OS
No USB detection on phone while in TWRP
No OTG detection
No any ROM.zip file in phone memory.
When I am on TWRP and connect my phone in computer I am seeing same error message and cant see my phone interenal storage.
Now what to do? Any way to flash ROM ?
I am in big mess, and I dont want to spend money on new phone as of now
I hope someone will be my angle and suggest me something to recover and save me from this mess...
Crying out loud now...

Phone is not recognized in computer while in twrp mode so it is not able to connct to adb via USB.
Just get os flashed at OnePlus service center.
I did something same in my previous Samsung phone. I took it to service center and told em that it's not booting up and I don't know the reason. They flashed the firmware from scratch, charged me 250 INR and my phone was back to being normal.

I am not able to follow this as phone is not even coming in USB mode. So its actually soft bricked because can go to twrp and fastboot mode and booting up without OS but USB is not able to detect on my computer.
now the service center guys saying I need to change the motherboard which I dont think is the issue, mother board is not going gone for sure as I can boot up in twrp and fastboot mode. its just may be the usb host controller gone.
Cant decide if I should go ahead with mother board replacement at cost of 10k INR ( phone cost was 28K INR) .

If you use the Method 2 of the Unbrick Guide, you don't need normal adb/usb mode recognition. Follow that guide scrupulously and step by step. Don't skip any and don't rush.

I even tried that but somehow it is not even recognized as QHUSB_BULK device.
believe me I have tried all things to revive the phone but its not hard brick in my opinion, it can boot into twrp but the when I connect the phone in computer it shows the error message I shown as attachment in my first post.
yes, I have tried 2 different computers and few usb cables.

Your phone need not be hardbricked to use the Guide. It will work even on a normal perfectly working phone. If your phone is not recognised while following the Guide, it only means one of two things: either it is a hardware fault or you are not following the Guide properly.

tried to follow the unbrick guide on windows 10 but phone is not seen as QSBULK device in device manager.
I am going to try on windows 7 as few post said that windows 7 would be better for unbricking than windows 10.
finger crossed, right now flashing windows 7 live iso on USB.
so finally I am declaring my op3 as hardware failure as one of my other phone (yureka) easily identified as 9008 mode in my computer but my op3 is not. so all drivers are installed correctly but somehow my op3's usb hub is failed.
i guess time to move on..
thank you everyone for spending time to help me. it really is supportive and encouraging...

Got 6T yesterday.... .. Yay!!
Couldnt find other phone competative in the price range.
Time to change the xda signature...
Although I bought 6T now and am kind of happy with that, but I am still missing my oneplus 3 and want to experiment on getting it revived.
By any chance someone can help me answering my doubts.. I would be greatful..
1. Is it ok to replace oneplus3's motherboard with oneplus 3t motherboard ? If by any chance i get any resell op3 or op3t in dirt cheap price I want to know if its ok to use 3T's motherboard.
2. Is there any way I can turn on the wifi from within TWRP and so I can connect to phone via adb over wifi/tcpip ??
Thank you all in advance.
