[Q] Bricked? - myTouch 3G, Magic General

I was reverting my Phone back to stock so the wife can use it. The battery fell out while applying the update.zip. Now the phone wont power up or show led while charging. Am I screwed? This is a mytouch 3g 1.2 tmobile

76 views and no advice.

Well... when you say "won't power up" what do mean...
Does it boot up but nerver continues... or it does nothing..nada..zero?
If it's the last, then yes... YOU ARE BRICKED..
If the first, then a small possibility for resurrection :0)

Sounds like a brick, but keep screwing with it. Have you left the battery out for a while and then tried again? If you can SAPPIMG it again and let it finish you should be fine.

Yes i hold the power button down and no response whatsoever from the phone.

What is about this picture?

Is it also bricked? After several updates, it went to this status no matter pressing power, or power + menu, or power + back and so on.
Any one can give a hand?

Thats the same picture i had when the battery fell out of my phone.

I got more help from a different website. Thanks alot.

So I Checked for the External battery - it was ok!
Then Decided to open it. Found a small battery on the board. No volt description.
Opeted to CPR the battery.
Like I do for my patients who have cardiac arrest.
But this time with just 1.5 Volt AA battery. SHOCKED it.
Then hard rest I started getting the serial screen!!!
I WAS THRILLED AS IF I SAVED ONE OF MY PATIENT!!
Congrats mate!!!!
A good surgery!
I did not know that UNi has that second battery, and good to know
Thanks

[Q] A500 (unrooted but updated) cannot start...

Hi,
I have a A500 about 2 years, no root and used official update. (I remember it 4.0. ?? something)
It cannot start yesterday night... just charging... fall auto-sleep... (= shut down), it happened many times before, but every times it can start by power button... except this time.
It halted on the "andriod" logo after "ACER" logo, I can see the lighting effect around "android"... but after half an hour, still in this "android" logo;
So I shut it down and restart again... few time... but it halted on the same place.
Then I try to found some information to fix it by myself...
First I try to use
Acer_A500_7.014.14_041.203.01_COM_GEN1
from
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1113878
Press power + volume down button... few times... it enter a green ANDROID with "RED !" and a status bar appear... I found it seem to spent a lot of time, so I plug the power and goto sleep... in this morning (I have about 6 hours sleep), the status bar keep in the same level...
I think it didn't work? right?
Then ...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1276227
I follow method 2 in above link...
But it didn't work also...

The color bar remain the same level overnight... over 2 hours... nothing change...
And even "RED !" appear, no status bar appear...
Now, when I start the tablet, it just appear "Boot verified failed..."
Any suggestion for me now? What can I do to save this tablet?

PS:I wont be rooting my phone anytime soon!.
Thanks In Advance
This is the default for AOSP, if you want to have additional options like "Reboot, Reboot - Recovery, ..." then you will need to install Xposed or use a custom rom.
Regards,
Yeah what JoKe_42 said.
They've removed all but the power off from that menu in the stock build.
If you are rooted, you can use the Quick Reboot app.
I'd recommend you to use Cataclysm Mod instead of Xposed..
I'm not a huge fan of Xposed, and Cataclysm has been awesome...
Or to restart without Xposed, Quick Boot, etc. which require root, just hold down the power button for about 7 or 8 seconds until the phone reboots. And Airplane Mode can be accessed easily enough from the Status Bar pull-down--> Quick Settings.
Thanks all..as said won't be rooting anytime soon.

You don't need root to run a custom ROM.

I think my phone got a virus? Very weird bootloop/stuck bootloader

My ZE553KL (I use it as a home device control, small tablet) keep loading/reloading for 3 hours now. I CANNOT SHUT IT DOWN. everytime I have this vibrate boot, ITS SUPER ANNOYING.
It show the bootloader then reboot, then show the bootloader and so on. Buttons are unresponsive.
Only think I can do is press up and get to screen number 2 for exactly 6 second (my computer then recognize it).
I cannot remove battery (hello soldered battery). or shut it down, I guess at some point It will drain battery but.
I have no idea what is happening, please help?

Ouch
Play with it. Proper button sequence and timing is everything. It's easy to not hit the right button at the exact moment. Allowing the battery to auto shutdown may break the cycle. Don't attempt to solder the battery without a good iron and skillset. You need to be fast about it.
If the OS is pre Pie it's suspectable to rootkits that require a reflash to erraticate.
A hardware failure is also possible.
A bad coded 3rd party apk can also boot loop you. That's worse than a normal boot loop though.
It's definitely corrupted... hopefully someone here who has seen this before and/or knows more about that line of phones advanced troubleshooting can help you.

LG charge more before turning on fix loop encountered

Any fix? battery works on another unit
The device seems to be able to enter download mode briefly, but then reboot into LG logo and boot loops there.
Entering recovery just bootloop as well.
It's dirtysanta rooted.

The only thing I can think of is the contacts on the phone that connect to the battery are dirty. Not making a good connection with the battery. Maybe try and take a Q-tip with some rubbing alcohol and clean the contacts on the phone. Let it dry and put the battery back in.
