Completely bricked Lumia 920!

[BithipI]

Hey there!

So I'm having major issues with my Lumia 920. I was playing a game a few nights ago, when the phone locked up completely. I let the phone set for a few minutes, then did the soft reset (down volume, power). The phone booted normally, then when I went to start using the phone again it locked up once more. The soft reset didn't bring it back around, so I tried the hard reset (down volume, camera then power button) and it vibrated and the screen went black. Now the phone won't respond to any input. When I plug it into the computer, it came up saying that the driver qhsusb_dload couldn't be found. I went out and found the driver, one for the Qualcomm chipset inside, and loaded it on my computer, Windows 7 64-bit. Now, when plugged in, the computer will recognize the USB device, but it can't do anything with it. Even in the Nokia Care Suite, having flashed the phone once before when it bricked, there is no way that I can get the phone to even come back to the notorious gears screen. Has anyone run into this issue?

Thanks so much!

Yes, this is what I tried. The problem is still persisting, I just haven't had the time to sit down and try anything else. I'm going to post a few screen shots below to show exactly what's going down!

Remember, my OS is Windows 7 64Bit.


In the above screenshot, I've traced that when I plug the phone into a port, it displays as the Qualcomm HS-USB QDLOADER 9008, the only thing that changes is the comport displayed.



This is the driver install that displays whenever the phone is plugged into a previously un-used USB port. This is directly into the tower of my desktop, not into a USB Hub.

I have the same problem with my Lumia 920 - RM 821.
Already tried all the tools of Nokia, but without results, no vibrate and no image.
My Lumia has stopped completely and I can not fix it.

This happened with me last week. The only way I fix on the internet is using the RIFF box aka Jtag box. It is an advanced method requiring soldering some leads onto the mainboard of the phone and running a software. Basically, the boot area get corrupted resulting in this kind of error. I am taking my phone to a local dealer to see if they can fix it.
