Bricked Streak, and what I've tried(FIXED) w/ PDF

I Encountered a number of problems when trying to upgrade to DJ's V 1.2 ROM from V 1.1.1
Problem: My phone is dead, nothing. No lights at all and I cant turn the phone on obviously.
What I've tired:
1. All key combos. Holding for up to 20 sec
a. Volumes + power
b. Volume down + power
c. Volume up + power
c. Power + camera.
d. Power + camera + volumes
2. Take battery out + sim + SD let sit for 1 hour
3. Wall charge w/ battery and back in for 1 hour.
4. Wall charge w/ out sim and SD for 1 hour.
5. Phone plugged into wall with back off and no battery.
6. Phone plugged into wall with back off no battery, sim, or SD.
Still cant get it to work, charged USB and Wall charger for 3 + hours each. Phone still does not show any signs of life. The battery is not getting hot, which means maybe is not charging at all.
FIX: download PDF. Will Update with pictures later, very rough right now.

Still cant get it to work, charged USB and Wall charger for 3 + hours each. Phone still does not show any signs of life. The battery is not getting hot, which means maybe is not charging at all.
My question: is it possible to Brick my phone so bad that it cant charge? or is this possible a cable/charger problem?

I would suggest you try a different cable. your cable may be bad.

it needs the battery in and the backplate in place in order for it to boot.
try without simcard and everything else in place. make sure the backcover is firmly closed.
you might also try this: attach to pc and press power for 3 secs , stop press power for a second and then hold both power and camera button together till it does something.

FIXED thanks to DJ Steve! Now running v1.2 sucessfully. Man is it fast and sweeett!

If you are stuck at the Dell Logo after flashing a Rom (install Clockwork recovery if you haven't already got in installed) press the volume up and down and power - select option 2 - when it goes into clockwork - go to partition option - mount the first three options (data - system and something else) and reboot - BAM Your back in business - you don't have to do it again except if you flash another rom (sometimes - not always)

Sorry I should of explained myself...
I have tried to install 2.2 (DJ_Steve) from 2.1 when i booted into flash recovery using the following for the baseband update.
fastboot -i 0x413c flash amss amss.mbn (to install the baseband)
commands and rebooted my device i already had clockwork recovery installed..(used clockwork a few times in the past for other roms) after the last step using fastboot to reboot. (fastboot -i 0x413c reboot)
my device rebooted and was stuck at the dell logo ... left it like this for about 1 hour
nothing responds now ... tried booting into recovery using both volume buttons and power ... and trying to boot into fast loader no longer works.... i have pulled the battery and tried with no luck.... and also charged the device over night...
looks like I have some activity with the usb cable in windows for the ADB driver but does not respond to any fastboot commands ....
I lost count the amount of attempts to boot into fast loader mode white screen never appears just boots into dell logo...
if I try to hold down the camara button and then the power the streak will not even power up unless I pull the battery...

This is the exact problem I and a few others on Modaco are having, hopefully we can get a solution in the next few days. after the streak, using a normal phone is agonizing.

Do you think your fix might help my situation ? as mine might aswell have a blank screen ...

Ok guys, I've attached a rough guide. I'm at work and will update w/ pictures later. It might be a bit confusing, but I will fix it later.

[Resolved] Blocked in Clock Work Mod

Hello, I have a problem with my tablet.
Yesterday I installed the ROM "Prime 1.4" with NVFLASH and I realized that the power button worked 1 out of 10.
This morning my tablet rebooted continuously without booting android, just boot animation.
To stop that, I held the power button and volume down to enter the recovery CWM but CWM not responding, I can not reboot my tablet, I tried to do a hard reset but it does not work, I do not know if it was because my power button has problems or if the tablet does not work at all.
Do you have any idea what can I do? I could bring it back to my dealer for my trade but it would remove recovery screen.
Thank you in advance for your solutions!
PS: Sorry for my bad english

Sounds like you had a "bad" flash. Try re-flash the ROM again.

I can't doing anything, i've CWM on the screen but it is blocked ... :/

You don't need CWM. You can re-flash follow this guide.
If you can't shutdown the device. Let your battery drain 100% and then charge it 50% and try again.

Yes but I can't exit from CWM, to reflash with NVFLASH I need to shutdown the device but I can't :/
But thanks for your reply.

Have you tried the 12second Power Button fix to turn the unit off?
If that doesnt work then you will have to wait until the battery runs out and turns off so you can plug the charger back in and try to unbrick it.
Mark.

Yes I tried but without results ...
It's OK, my Dealer gave me a new one.
Thanks for all

My phone doesn't power off! please help

Hi all! I've been having a problem since some weeks ago. I flashed ICS ROM IceColdSandwich on my Desire HD, and after that, if I tried to power off my phone, instead it reboots to recovery. Even worse, if I remove the battery, when I connect it again, the phone automatically boots to recovery itself!! That was weird, so I reflashed the ROM. Same problem... So I did a full wipe, leaving nothing on the phone. I remove the battery with the phone wiped, connect it again, and... the recovery again!! even with no ROM installed...
What could it be? I'm so angry with my phone right now... Please, I need help! Thank you guys and gals!

try flashing boot.img file again
find boot.img in your zipped rom file
extract it to same place with your fastboot.exe
enter fastboot mode not recovery while usb cable plugged in
type in command prompt,
fastboot flash boot boot.img
reboot and try again

Thank you so much! That solved the problem instantly!

humm... After one day of the issue solved, I turned off the phone and the same thing happened... What can be causing the problem to go back?

Flash new recovery.
I'd also suggest pulling the battery for much longer to see what happens once it's fully drained of all power.

[Q] Phone seems REALLY bricked, please help!

Hey guys,
I just downgraded my HTC Penache (MyTouch 4G) from 2.3.X back to 2.2.X T-mobile and it was fine.
After that I did the "TRUE PermaRoot and the ULTIMATE S=Off!" tutorial and it was fine, I did the optional step to install the engineered boot loader. At the end it said s=off and bootloader version 0.85.2007, so it all worked. At this point the phone was still working normally.
My next step was flashing ClockWorkMod Recovery 5.8.1.0, which was fine.
I booted into recovery and did the following: wiped dalvik, Wipe data/cache, factory reset and format /system and than processed to install Dark JellyBellyG1.1, after choosing zip from card, the GUI installation processes began, I went through the menu, the installation finished without any errors and asked to reboot the phone.
After this the phone turned off and never turned on again. There isn't any sign of life, no LED light flashing for charging, It won't turn on, or go into recovery or anything (tried holding volume down, down + up, up, all combinations).
To me this "brick" is not explainable, I can't see what I did wrong.... Is there anything I can try to get this phone back.

try removing the battery for about 10 mins, then try again.

When all else fails, remove power for a few minutes. This lets everything on the board drain any remaining power and truly shut off. My wife's Wii was not responding to anything the other day. Unlugged and replugged several times; no dice. Pulled the power cord from the wall and let it sit for a few minutes, then plugged it in. Tada.

Ah yes...the old Microsoft solution.

Stuck on google logo

Hey guys
i just wiped all my data and tried to reboot my nexus, but now it's been stuck on the google logo for ages...
trying to flash to stock + unroot with nexus toolkit doesn't work, any way to unbrick it?
please help...

do you have fastboot driver installed?
Step 1: Power down your Nexus 4 (hold the power button until it shuts off) before rebooting into fastboot mode. You can do this by holding down the the Volume Down and Power buttons simultaneously.
Step 2: Connect your device to your computer. Open up a terminal or command prompt, and navigate to the folder containing the fastboot program.
Step 3: Type fastboot devices into the command line, and you should then see your device’s ID, which means fastboot is setup correctly.
now go back to Nexus 4 toolkit. Flash back to stock.

reflash your rom. reboot your device, hold volune down before it reboots to get into the bootloader then recovery.

Thanks simms, i managed to get into fast boot between the reboots, and I flashed the rom and gapps.
Damn it scared me even more then the red light issue that happened to me last month.

not booting after flashing something or modding something is the easiest of all to fix, just reflash the rom(gapps and kernel too if need be), no need to wipe anything. since i test all the trinity kernels before any get released, and pre-kernels, i get many that dont boot my device or bootloop(among some other funky behaviors), reflashing a good kernel always works

I left my phone for a few minutes, and when I picked it up it was bootlooped again, and i had to use fastboot again. What should I do now? Maybe a factory reset would help me. I don't want more unexpected bootloops. :/

Try another rom. You might have downloaded corrupted zips. Also, make sure you flash the things you need first. Eg, flash rom and gapps. Don't restore anything if you're using titanium backup. Try restarting the phone, see if it gets into a bootloop. If it doesn't, then try restoring apps from TB. (if you use TB.)

Hi!
I´ve got a big problem. Today i flashed the new PA version, but it seems that the download had some issue. I could install it but after a while, I wanted to reboot the phone and it got stuck at the Google logo. I can only access fastboot mode and recovery.
So the problem is, i made a full wipe, so i have no rom on the sdcard anymore. Also I am now able to enable the debbuging mode. I tried every toolkit i couzld find, but everyone needs debugging mode enabled. windows doesnt recognize the phone ( it says unkown device). So i tried to install the adb drivers, but nothing happens.
i wanted to try to push a rom with adb on the phone but it says no device found. i am such a noob, i hope some can help me.
thx
