I wanted to flash another rom version on my LG Optimus 7 with an official rom that was posted in the LG topic. During the process (before the actual flashing I think) I got an error. My device was still turned on at that moment and in Emergency Download mode. I thought that since the flashing didn't really start I could reboot my device and try it another time cause it was late but my phone wont turn on no matter what I do. I cant enter emergency download mode, nothing.
So is it possible that my device is now completely dead? It seems so hard to believe.
How low was your battery?
Take out your battery. Leave it out for a minute and then put it back in. Connect your phone to the power-adapter and let it charge for at least 5 minutes. Then try to switch on your phone.

Battery wasnt really low, the phone was still on when I got the error. Can't say exactly how full it was cause it was in emergency mode for a while but it never turned off.

Hmm. That doesn't look good. Did you try key-combo's again after you took out the battery? You might get it into downloadmode now.
I made a jig for my Samsung. With the jig I can get a phone into downloadmode even when it is bricked. Maybe there's something like that for LG's.
Good luck!

It's one that works on the Galaxy S devices and Omnia 7 so I'm not sure it will work on my device but it doesnt cost a fortune so I might as well try.

Hello,
i´m new here and i know that i dig a old post out of the grave, but before christmas my boss get 3 LG E900´s for his kid´s and 2 of them where selled in demo modes.
Not official, but because it was early too christmas he ask if i have an idea.
So i read many hours in much forums (even here) how to flash.
The first one was not a big problem at my home pc(took a lil time if it´s start in emerg.-mode, but now it works perfect)
So i tried the same with the second one at my office pc, because this one arrives us at 23. dec. and i do the same steps as i do at home.
But while flashing i got a massage from the LGDP2_V36_UMTS prog. that there was an abort.
EM still worked, so i tried again (4 times) with an other abort (RAM error)
After the 5. try with this error i do same as before and shut it off.
I wanted to try it at home again, but since this i couldn´t it on.
Everthing i tried doesn´t work. Screen keeps black.
Anyone an idea?
PS: sorry if my english is bad, i´m german.

Today i flashed my Tab with Gingerbread 2.3.3 for the forth time after Moding it a bit while having the Galaxy S plugged in and of course Odin flashed both...
so probably it changed the bootloader on it and now the Galaxy S wouldn't respond to anything,
button combinations dont work
plugging usb and then holding Vol-Up + Vol-Down while slipping battery back does nothing, I even tried the mythical Hair dryer and that took me nowhere
... its dead.
I read somewhere that the JIG is not for my case so i skipped it...
now what? is there anything else i should try? if not, is taking it to good ol' Sammy going to do me any good?
or should i just consider it a very expensive piece of home decoration.
***PS sorry if i posted this in the wrong section.
i had a soft brick on a vibrant last night and the only thing that worked for me was pressing the vol up and down and THEN plugging in the usb to the computer.... then the software loader screen came up allowing me to USE odin AND FLASH stock tmo os

Are you under contract? and did you buy the phone from a certified retailer? if so you can say that your phone shut off and wont turn on. i bricked my phone twice (HTC EVO) and took it back to sprint and the replaced the phone because it was a "manufacturing default". hope this helps!
well that sucks, know how you feel except mine had a bit better of an outcome. sux

Thanks for the Idea but yeah, My phone was at 95% when i Killed it with a bad flash
Sounds like you might need a jtag for it. There is a post on the home page portal maybe a page or two back on how to do it yourself or the guy over at mobile tech videos has a jtag service. It is used for bringing back the hard bricked devices.
I soft bricked my Nexus S last week, freaking scary!
It took me 6 hours to just it alive by trying over 20 method!
holy cow!! I think I just bricked my phone... I hope someone can help me.
Here's the situation. I was on the latest MIUI 1.6.17 demonSPEED v.1.2. Everything was awesome! Then today I went to my dentist and there was a sign that said that they are not in today and to call a number. I was about to call, then everything got stuck. I needed to call them, so I just did a flash in front of the dentist's office with the ROM I had on my SD card.
re-flashed v1.2 with no problem and I was about to select "reboot my phone", then I was like, oh i'll re-flash Swype as well... the swype zip got stuck for like 5 minutes during the flash (and I still needed to call the dentist). So I was like, ok I'll just pull off the battery and restart the flashing procedures...
That's when I put the battery back and the phone won't even boot up now. I'm now home (didn't even get to call my dentist yet after all that), and plugged in the charger and it won't even charge now (orange LED not turning on)... Can't even boot it in recovery. Phone is unresponsive to any buttons...
Does anyone know of any other way to even turn the phone on?
Geez, that was the Noobiest mistake ever!! All that because I had to make a call... WOw, I'm speechless thinking of my stupidity! I hope someone can help...
Thanks in advance guys!
Quite honestly dude i dont think you have much to hope for except to call tmo and tell them its broken. If its truly bricked even they cant confirm it since they cant turn it on. Only thing i think you could try is pluging it into your pc and trying to see if the pc recognizes it and lets you run adb commands or something similar. Hope this helps.

yup, the thing is that I'm not a T-Mobile customer anymore. I wonder how I'm even gonna get in contact with them to get a replacement. I remember from being their customer, that the first thing they ask you is your phone number with them. If you didn't have one, they just said they can't help you... Does that sound about right?

yeah man, that was the analysis of the customer service rep that was helping me. He thinks that the battery somehow is knocked out... That's why he's shipped out a battery. Just waiting for that to confirm that it's the battery or something else! If that doesn't solve it, I'll have to send it back to HTC for repairs. Probably won't be able to get a replacement with T-Mobile since I cancelled my account with them like 4 months ago already... but thanks for the input!

So I've been lurking here since I got my Nexus 4 (over two years ago) to find answers to my problems and usually I've been able to find an answer.
Now, I think my trusty Nexus 4 has finally given up the ghost. I powered it off Thursday night and when I went to power it on Friday morning, I got nothing. It had over 50% battery when I turned it off, so I don't think it's the battery. I've tried to boot it just about every way I can find, but nothing. It's been plugged in most of the weekend and still nothing.
So I'm thinking it's time to start looking for a new phone , what do you all think? If anyone thinks they've got a way to get it to boot up, just let me know, I'll give it a shot.
Thanks!
It sounds like it died. I don't have any suggestions on how to get it running if it doesn't even turn on.

No, if I plug it in to the PC it doesn't see it all.

but I don't think it will work because I can't get it to boot into any mode I've tried.
If you're running Windows 7 go into Start->Control Panel(view by large icon for ease of use)->Device Manager and go to Action and scan for hardware changes with the Nexus connected just to be certain that it's just not being detected properly in its current state.
Also there was another guy with a very similar problem that managed to fix his (does require dismantling the phone, but it's not too complicated)

Thanks for all the help, I saw another similar thread about the battery, but since it was about 50% when I shut it down on Friday night, I didn't think about doing it. I guess it will be the last shot. I have one more day left of time off from my knee surgery, so I might give it a go tomorrow and see what happens. I'll let you know how it goes.

OMG!! I just got done doing the battery thing and it worked!! The odd thing though is that the battery was no where near dead. I only charged using that method for about 10 minutes and then it restarted the phone with 30% battery. I have no clue what the problem was . . . but I think I might take this scare and upgrade . . . maybe, lol.

If anything I'd say put a new battery in there (£17~) and you'd have peace of mind in the fact that it will be unlikely to happen again any time soon, plus you'd save anywhere upward of £150 on buying an upgrade!

In all likelihood, it's a paperweight now. Might as well gut it for the parts. As far as I know, there is no coming back from that, at least none that would be cost-effective or even mildly user-friendly.
However, when I screwed my GalaxyS3 as such, I was able to bring it back by booting into a rom on my external sd, but I don't believe the S4's have that functionality. Your best bet, search far and wide for "S4 hardbrick"...but don't hold your breath. We live and we learn.

So the device is completely unresponsive from the powered-down state? Try pluggin' it in as-is to a Windows Desktop (or laptop) and see what bubbles popup. If nothing happens...yeah, my sympathies. But if the PC at least notices it, that would mean you're probably in QDL mode, and there may yet be hope. (QDL = Qualcomm Download)

Would a USB Jig perhaps bump it into download mode? Or is that all part of the bootloader? If the bootloader is dead I think the whole lot is scrap.

No, there is nothing on the screen no matter what, and yeah I thought of a jig cable, but I've tried to go into download mode before, and there was nothing. And the buttons do work.
So I need help. I tried un rooting my s7 edge by flashing the stock files in ODIN, I selected T-Flash in ODIN options because that's what I remembered selecting in the past. Little did I know I forgot to select Re-Partition too. Now my phone shows a black screen, I cant boot into recovery or download mode, but it would seem like the phone isn't shutting off because when I connect it to my PC its immediately recognized and no matter how many button combinations I try it just is disconnected from the PC for about half a second and then re connects. I don't get any response from the phone though. The screen is pitch black and i cant get it to do anything. After flashing I noticed it wasn't booting up at all it was in download mode and when it finished the screen turned black and never came back on. When connected to my PC it is recognized as Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COM5) in my device manager ODIN Does not recognize it and neither does any other application. Can I please get some help here?
Try pressing and holding the power button until the device shuts off. It could take up to a minute of holding the button down continuously.

Do you by any chance understand this guide?

I read through it some, looks complicated. You don't have to follow the guide. The easiest thing you could do is bring it to where you purchased it and then get it swapped for a new one.

No luck there, I don't have any insurance or returns. Nothing else we can try?

Well like I said before, I don't like giving out directions like I did if I don't recognize the steps to complete it or if others have not supported the validity of it. I don't want to stray you in the wrong direction. The only thing I think you should do, my opinion of course, is attempt to return it under or try to get it repaired under warranty as you don't need insurance as long as you didn't trip Knox, which I don't believe you did.

Okay so i called Samsung and they let me send it in for repair, I'm shipping it out tomorrow. All they asked for was a email my address name and they gave me this code or whatever. I thought I would need like a receipt or something but I guess not. I bought the phone used from Swappa so I thought i'd be screwed. I just hope Knox inst messed up which it shouldn't be because it never was and it failed when I was trying to flash stock firmware. Oh and its free of charge since it hasn't been a year of the phones release yet.

Glad you could get it sorted out. Sucks that it will take a little longer but it's better than attempting to follow complicated tutorials that may not even work and may make the problem worse. Hope they send you a new one, just be careful next time you flash anything. Read the instructions, make sure you understand them and ask about what you don't, then read through again to double check and you shouldn't have any problems.

The only thing I'm worried about is if they call me saying they won't repair it because I have no proof of purchase since I bought it used. I'm so anxious to get my phone back really hoping everything is smooth. It's apparently covered by the 1yr warranty every phone comes with but why would they not ask for a receipt but whatever I just want everything to go smooth.

The Samsung S7's came out in March of this year, so regardless of when you have bought it at this time it's obviously still within the warranty period.

Oh okay. And what about not having a proof of purchase. Does it even matter for this kind of warranty?

Once the phone has been out over a year where it's not a guarantee that you must have purchased it within the last 12 months then yes, they most likely would ask for a receipt. You're just lucky like that. Lol

Oh wow so its basically just lucky timing, nice. I'm never rooting the phone again all i wanted were better emojis and the note 7 UX and I couldn't even get the Note 7 UX so its not worth it. It's an amazing phone on it's own. I won't ever try and root another Verizon phone there's always little support cause of the bootloader and I always run into something. Glad I dont have to worry much just takes time.
