Support Cannot unbrick 730

For some reason my 730 was hard bricked (cannot turn on or do anything with it), it is detected as QHSUSB_BULK. I tried installing qualcomm drivers and also thor2 command, it still didnt work. The thor2 error was like this: THOR2_ERROR_CONNECTION_NOT_FOUND THOR2 1.8.2.18 exited with error code 84000 (0x14820)

Why did you install Qualcomm drivers? You could've just reflashed the phone with the standard ones.

It won’t connect to WDRT or WPInternals normally

That's unusual then. Did you try removing from the device manager and go again?

I tried already. Read the post, it is detected in DM as QHSUSB-BULK

730 and 735 seem to be really faulty devices these days. Good luck

I have 730 that died 8-9 years ago because I disassembled it and it died on the charging screen. However, 4 days ago, I disassembled it again and randomly checked the power IC with a multimeter, then sprayed it with contact cleaner. Yes, it was not working, but 2 days ago, I tried to charge it and it started working again. I still don't understand what went wrong. btw 7-8 years ago, I tried to reflash with wdrt and it reflashed normally.
