Ok, so i got fed up with my phone freezing so i thought i would get SEUS to
re install the rom, (mr1, mr2 is not available to me yet).
The indicator got to about an inch along when a message popped up saying
update failed.
Now i cannot enter bootloader to try again, the phone will not turn on, SE refuse
to help saying it is not released in the UK so i am not entitled to support.
I have not yet had a reply from where i got it from.
Is there any way to get this piece of junk going again?
Thanks.
Try to charge your battery on another phone / external charger.
I encountered a similar problem when trying to flash the X2. I received the UPDATED FAILED error, pulled out the battery, Volume Down + Power and gave it another try.
SEUS shouldn't brick your phone, maybe it's a problem with your battery.
The battery is at about 80%, i have tried it in my X1 as it is the same battery.
I tried the X1's battery in the X2 as well.
When i press the volume down and power buttons it vibrates for a fraction of a
second and then just stays on a black screen.
Let's try then a forced bootmode connection.
1. Insert the data cable into the phone without the battery plugged in.
2. Open SEUS and go to the connection screen.
3. While the software is searching for the phone, keep VOL DOWN + POWER and insert the battery.
After the phone vibrates, the software should recognize the X2.
This procedure generally applies to dead phones and sometimes works.
Post the result.
Still nothing, i kept the buttons pressed for about 30 seconds, then vista popped up a message 'usb device not recognised' the phone stayed as it did before and SEUS did nothing.
Sadly the support excuse they are using is what a lot of manufacturers do if you are in an area where they don't support it. This is the downside of buying a device on eBay etc. before it is "officially" released in your area. Contact the point of sale and hopefully they can send it in for you. You might have to pay shipping costs.
Leave your battery out and unplugged for an hour and then try again after that to revive it.
I did not even realise it had not been released in the UK, i got it from a UK website.
I am still waiting for them to get back to me, as it is Sunday they won't be getting back to me till Mon Tue i would think.
SE were fast though, less than an hour to reply, about the only credit they get though.
I have had the battery out for more than an hour a few times so that does not work.
Thanks for the suggestions though, keep em coming if there are any more.

The exact same thing happened to me today, but I did not even get the update failed message (but I got the inch )
The phone is now bricked. No bootloader no nothing.
I guess you guys have the Singapore English versions? A lot of those retailers in the UK were getting them through Malaysia and so on. Then selling in the UK but not informing buyers that SE wont support it in the UK yet. It's really sad
It's a French X2, and I got it in France. I think I will have no issue with getting my X2 unbricked (or replaced), SE support is pretty good over here.
But if in the mean time someone has an idea or a trick on how to unbrick a X2 (other than the tips already listed in this thread), I would be happy to test it

Learn to "Read" and use the "Search" function newb.
Hi!
This has happened to me also. The solution was to connect the original charger (I usually charge from the USB port on my PC).
Try this:
1. Disconnect all cables from phone.
2. Remove battery.
3. Insert battery.
4. Connect original SE charger and charge for 5 minutes.
5. With the charger still connected, press volume down and then power on simultaneously - hold until SE logo appears.
If not working, repeat from step 1 several times (i tried 3 times before it finally worked).
6. Connect PC USB and run SEUS update.
Seems to me like the phone does not always charg from USB, and that when it enters the "black-screen-after-short-vibration-after-power-on"-mode it does not charge while in this mode.
Mod edit: not rom dev related, moved to general
well... when it say update fail but if save the new rom to ur phone then its fine, take the battery out and restart ur phone.. it should load the new OS.. my one says fail everytime.. so no problem for me
Dear All experience developers,
I am actually a newbie, If what I said is wrong please correct it, I post this post here because I think it's related to developer rather than others, even it's talking about de-brick.
I have a black DELL STREAK (31800-EU), but because I have done something wrong (fastboot erase system -w, and it hanged at erasing CATCH, and I disconnect the cable and pull-out battery to go to recovery and install .pkg file), it's now seem completely dead with nothing happen no matter what combination key I use (Vol-Up + Vol-Down + Power, Camera + Power, Vol-Up + plug USB cable for QBL) nothing happen for me).
As I go around, I saw the teardown page http://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Dell-Streak-Teardown/3512/2, they have mentioned that there is a secondary 2GB microSD used to house the system and data, so DO YOU GUYS THINK THAT WE COULD DE-BRICK MY DELL BY RE-WRITE THIS HOLD 2GB CARD WITH A IMAGE FROM SOMEONE WHO HAS HIS DELL IN WORKING?
Question to all experience developers,
I know all you guys are really strong understading about DELL Streak,
Q1- In the teardown page, they found 2GB microSD + Hynix H8BES0UU0MCR NAND-based MCP, so microSD should be ROM and the Hynix... should be device RAM, isn't it?
Q2- What is a NAND backup means, when you guy used to do it on other Android devices, is it a full backup of device ROM?
Q3- I maybe can try to use 1 of your provided NAND backup file to byte-copy to a new 2GB microSD for test.
Thanks.
first question, what were you trying to achieve by running that command!
second, could you not push a new image over to it via fastboot? removing it cleared the memory and it seems theres nothing there for it to boot from, so you'd have to try and get the sd card out (does involve tearing the whole thing apart, have done it myself) to see if you can restore anything to it.

Firstly I have owned a G1, and dev just say try to wipe system before you flash new ROM to avoid boot loop, so I just follow it.
Currently, the phone is completely not boot even fastboot or Qualcom Dianostic mode. And that is why I am trying to ask someone if they could byte copy their internal 2G SD for me and I can try to tear my phone out to retore the SD.
Please kindly advide me if I could have other option to retore the SD, I can try to tear my phone out.
Thanks, Ratha
Please tell me this was resolved as I have encoutered basically the very same thing. My phone... well brick, won't do a damn thing. Very appreciative of anyone who is willing to help.
Have you tried qdltool? I think the os is on the nand not the 2gb internal card, so if its fubar'd I don't think there is a way to fix it. Turn off your streak and hold volume up as you plug it into your computer, if your computer detects it then there may he hope via qdltool. I'm a noob also so take that for what its worth.

hi, I had very similar prob. but after a sleepless night I found CAMERA button work as power button. so wht I did, press and hold vol up and camera button thn plug the usb in pc. it should bring u diagnostic mode. press and hold camera button thn plug the usb it will bring u fastboot. after just use qdl tool.it work for me. u can try. but the prob is ever since I did tht I always need usb power to start mobile and battery health doesnt show.

Honestly, above solution is a bit strange but it worth a try please try and confirm. If this does not work then the only solution is to JTAG your device using Riff Box which will resurrect your mobile BUT!! from my experience and others in this forum and other forums your device will not recognize the SIM card any more. Therefore, take care. Once you try Riff Box, please leave a feedback of your experience.

I can bring your Streak back to life using JTAG. Just pm me if you are interested. I help hundreds a month on many of the Galaxy S variants and can perform similar methods to bring the Streak back to life.

Hi all,
My GT540 got bricked while flashing a V20B Rom. Now its not starting at all. No power+anything, no battery-in battery-out trials work.
Any ideas before I take it to the LG repair center because my LG repair center is in another country (lool) ??
Try to boot your phone into Emergency/Download mode (VOL DOWN + POWER). If the phone booted into Emergency/Download mode, launch KDZ Updater.
In TYPE dropdown menu, choose EMERGENCY
Make sure you use the USB on back of PC if using desktop. Another thing to try is take the battery out before plugging in USB should download drivers maybe not much help but one step closer to working phone.

Thank you guyd for the suggestions. I am so much beyond this stage now. The phone is not turning on in any mode. Nothing at all.
Taking it to the LG service center is a real trip to another country now.
Plug phone into computer without battery In what dose it do? you should get animation of phone with back cover sliding up? Leave it for ten minutes make sure your internet is connected,then put battery back in make sure it's got at least 70percent charge, then connect phone to computer and put into download mode power and press volume down....
The rest is all listed above.hope it helps.

Unfortunetely, the only way to fix your phone is to give it back to LG Service, they will provide you with new one if you have waranty, it happened to me once when i was flashing my phone and my pc restarted :S
You have killed the bootloader, you could fix it by youserlf of find a programmer with special device to flash a bootloader back into the phone :s
Charge your battery and try all again kdz is your best bet if no fastboot screen !!!good luck!!!

The point is You cant charge your phone, you cant turn it on, you cant boot into fastboot/download or any other mode, PC dont detect your phone. PHONE IS LIKE A BRICK, dont react to anything... This happened to me once, the only option for him is to give the phone to LG Service. They will replace it, he accidently killed the bootloader like i told in a post before.
@deamonjones Nothing happens when I plug it to the pc or the chrager. With or without the battery.
It requires a JTAG device to re-write the bootloader.
For future refernce - GT540 JTAG info :
http://www.omnia-repair.com/forum/topic/lg-gt540-request-to-unbrickrepair-dead-boot
This is a much more clearer way to do it. And the device is not so expensive. But I really don't have the time to do it as it requires too much timeand accuracy.

Google multi recovery flasher. Load it on your C drive and open it in cmd. Start your Streak in Fastboot, connect the two via usb, then in the DOS screen select the recovery you want to try. You might want to scan over the instructions that come with it, but its pretty simple and worked on the first try for me.
Good luck!
did you read what i write?
power button does not work.
is not possible to turn on device, is not possible to get fastboot mode.
on board: Steakdroid 2.3
phone is bricked due pc failure during loading stock recovery.
what i can to do before sending this brick to service?
-just send, warranty will be probably valid.
-create other damage for masking unsuccessful flash
What does happen when you connect to the wall charger, does it recognize the charger. If your answer is no, then your device is totally bricked and the only way is to resurrect it using JTAG. BUT BUT, it is not sure that your mobile will be total functional i.e. you will not be able to use the SIM card. The device will be as WiFi only. Hence, it is better to send it to service if it is still under warranty.
Brick not!
OMG! your Dell streak is not brick dude. QDLtool is your best friend, now go and learn how to use it.
Here is the link: http://streakdroid.com/modules.php?name=Downloads&d_op=viewdownload&cid=2
Download streakflash.zip and unzip to your desktop
Download qdtooll-to-309-repairtool.zip and unzip to your desktop
With Dell Streak in off mode, press and hold Volume up while plug in your data cable (I know you have done this ... yeah .. yeah)
Start up QDLTool.exe in unzipped folder streakflash and select RUN.
(should you get driver error then search, download and install then start again)
Start up QDLTool.exe in unzipped folder qdtooll-to-309-repairtool and select RUN.
On completion, Dell will boot into Android 2.2
Job Done.
FYi, my Dell Streak was in various dead conditions (including what your is now - by accidentally removed my data cable while flashing a new Rom LOL) and every times I was able to recovered with QDLTool.
If this is beyond then you are better of return it to base for service. GOOD LUCK TO YOU!

streakflah obviously that can not be used. My advice is service. They would hardly know it is flash. Format your memory card on another device before sending it.

Not necessary, issue maybe drivers corrupted on the PC. Pressing volume up while inserting the data cable will have no response on the PC apart from a beep sound. It is only until QDLTool prompted Driver error otherwise.
Hello everyone,yesterday i was trying to create swap memory for my rooted tablet using sd card.
I completed three partitions successfully fat32,ext3 and swap.
Then i installed busybox and used swapper...checked the option to create swap at bootup in swapper.
Everything was running well until i rebooted my tablet
It just crashed,now the tablet wont go in download mode nor does it shows the charging icon even if plugged for 4-5 hours.
I had purchased it in new Zealand so the warranty is not covered in india.service centre is not able to repair it even if i pay becuse they dont have the rom and spare parts for this model.I told them i have the rom they still dont agree.Is this a hardware problem or software issue ?
The only option for me would be to courier it to nz and then it would cost me 10000 rs in total..can anyone help me out.many of the repair personnel said they could do it for 3000 rs but i have this strong feeling that they would replace the original parts with fake chinese one even if they are in working condition.
If any one can give me a working procedure step by step and i am able to get my tab to work,i will be really thankful and gift 3000 rs in his/her bank account.
Tab is 9.7 spen Lte version
Thank-you

Take the card out. Ensure the device is plugged in to mains. Hold POWER + VOL DOWN + HOME until the device restarts and you see download mode.
Reflash the stock firmware.

Are you sure you didn't format the internal storage? How did you format.

I could've sworn I asked if windows detected the device, but can't see it? [emoji54]
Also you're saying the device crashed. Are you certain it didn't actually just die because the battery was depleted?
I would certainly be trying a different mains charger before condemning the tablet.
