After an entirely random error saying my phone is somehow Encrypted, I went ahead and did a factory reset which didn't help. The phone was still booting into the same screen asking me for a code to Decrypt the data. So after some "quick" reading on these forums I've decided to RUU to stock. But the file I've chosen, even though it matched my version it was a Firmware, while the phone was S-ON. The device had never been Rooted or tampered with previously.
So now the phone does not boot at all. I've tried every button combination, but nothing seems to work. If I plug in the phone to charge the orange light flashes, endlessly. Even after I've left the device to charge for 6hours, the orange light still flashes.
When I plug in the phone to my PC, all I get it seems is this new device: QHSUSB_BULK, which shows with an exclamation mark next to it. I've read similar threads for different phones where they've unbricked devices while they were in this mode, is that even possible? I can hear Windows recognizing a device was plugged in, and if I press Power+VolumeUP, it will disconnect the phone and reconnect it, at least based on the sounds Windows is playing. The screen is Black at all times.
How badly have I bricked this device and is there any hope to revive it? Thanks to everyone who chimes in on this.
