Help Rogers Samsung Galaxy S2 I727 randomly bricked? Stock ROM+Not Rooted.

[PCMedics905]

Hey everyone, I've been browsing around these forums for a while now learning a ton of information, but I am stumped and had to register to ask for help.


So, here goes

My girlfriend has a Samsung Galaxy S2 I727R, and about a week ago it randomly became bricked. It won't power on at all, so I can't get it in to recovery or download mode. When I connect the device to my PC via USB, the computer recognizes it as QHSUSB_DLOAD. From what I read, that doesn't sound very promising.

It is running the stock ROM and is not rooted. She was using it one day and it just "died", with approx. 30% battery remaining. I had updated the firmware to the latest version of android (I think 4.1.2 but not positive)

I have completely disassembled the device to check for a faulty power button or possible a lose cable/ribbon but cannot find anything suspicious.


Has anyone heard of anything like this happening? Any possible reason to what triggered the bricking, maybe the update? Does anyone know of any methods I could use to help diagnose my issue?

Thanks for your help it's greatly appreciated.

I have the same issue Sucks because phone repair shops don't fix the s2's anymore bc they are 'old'

QHSUSB-DLOAD is usually a bad sign for devices running Qualcomm processors. It stands for Qualcomm High Speed USB Download mode. Unfortunately, the software needed to use this mode is propietary and isn't available for the general public to use. However, another method of fixing this problem is JTAG'ing. Some tech repair shops have the tools and knowledge needed to do this. One such option if you're not opposed to paying and mailing it to them is MobileTechVideos.

I would give them a try and see how it goes.
