[Q] Bricked? Please help if possible

I don't know if the phone is bricked, i sure hope not.
I had cm7 final running just fine. I was installing a kernel from clockwork recovery, and i followed the instructions. It installed, i told it to reboot the phone, it came to the cm7 blue booting screen. it kept repeating that for over 20 minutes. at that point i pulled the battery and replaced it. then i think it was stuck at the tmobile splash screen for a while. i was able to reboot and get to recovery mode again, i wiped cache and tried to install the kernel again, this time got an error. now it went to tmo splash screen and froze there for a while. after another battery pull, nothing will display on the screen and i cannot access recovery mode (i try by holding volume down, then holding power button). the ONLY thing that does happen is that the lcd backlight will stay on until i pull the battery. i plugged into pc without the battery, lcd lights up, but its not recognized by windows or adb.
I'd be grateful for any possible help or ideas, thanks in advance.

Could you give more info on Rom recovery kernel you were attempting etc?

Can you boot into the bootloader? Which one is installed? How can we help if we have no idea what's installed on your phone? There could be hope if you can boot into the bootloader and have the engineering SPL installed.
Also, what kernel were you trying to install?

He did? I only saw that he could not boot into recovery. I was thinking if his recovery is screwed up, he could still use fastboot to flash a new recovery and then be able to wipe and start over. If he can't get into the bootloader or recovery, then yeah, it's the dreaded B word.
I'd really like to know what kernel he was trying to flash.

I was flashing the #107 kernel from this thread:
[Kernel]Gingerbread[2.6.32.36]MaxOC~1.84GHz,Smartass/UV/BFS/BFQ/SLQB-Faux123[Apr-10]
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=957267
I'm not sure if there's a different procedure to get into hboot as opposed to recovery. I've only had the mytouch 4g for about a week (always had Nexus one before). After pulling and replacing the battery, i hold volume down, then hold power button. Is that how to get into recovery and/or hboot, or is there another procedure I can try?
I used the visionary app to obtain root, install rom manager, then installed clockword mod recovery and cm7 through that. Working fine for a few days until i decided to flash the kernel to get better battery life....

Unfortunatly its the same procedure, hold volume down and power on. So if when u do that nothing happens and adb doesn't work your phone is done.

A little more info, maybe good news...i've been trying to get it to do anything for the last few hours. i had the battery out for a while. When i would plug it into AC charger or my pc with no battery, nothing would happen. however now i put in the battery, plugged it into the pc, and NOW the orange charging light is on like its charging...i haven't tried to turn it on or anything yet though.

I'm not sure what the exact status of your phone is, but usually flashing a kernel does not brick the phone. If anything the ROM won't run right or there will be other problems, but never do they prevent the phone from booting into recovery (the recovery partition uses a completely different kernel). When you try turning it on again, don't bother trying to let it boot normally. Hold down power and volume down and see if you can get into recovery. Then run all three wipe options and flash a new ROM.

It's happened to me before where I thought I had completely bricked the phone. It crashed in CM7 RC2 when I tried to mess with the DSP settings. After that, I went through the same situation as you. I got tired of it, left it charging overnight while it was stuck on the splash screen. The next morning, it was on like nothing happened. I'm thinking it just needed to sort itself out. Not really a fix or suggestion, but at least an indication that there is hope.

Nah, its dead man. Not on its entirety but virtually. I know that JTAG could be an option albeit, im not sure.
I can assure you though that there must be something extra u must have missed that caused this, did you play with radio's or SPL's? Cause that is how i bricked a magic lol
blah

mine bricked on restoring. got to the point of not responding to anything - power button and even charge indicator no longer worked.
sorry to hear OP. it's bricked.

By saying that you used the visionary app to obtain root, is that all you did? Then installed rom manager and etc etc etc? Did you go through the full root method to get S=OFF as well?

Well previous to using visionary...i was trying another method to root using the terminal, but it wasn't working, so then i found visionary and used that. I never interacted with the phone using adb, if it matters. If i never really had s=off, could this be why this whole thing happened?

Had you flashed anything prior to this happening? Any mods or tweaks? Any new apps installed? Is your phone rooted or not. Have you tried getting into recovery by using the volume down + power button after pulling the battery?

Did you try to enter recovery by pulling the battery, replacing the battery and then pressing volume down and power? You didn't say if you've already tried this or not. If you have tried it and it hasn't worked what about the battery? Any chance it may have failed somehow?

Hardware problem ?
Processor or motherboard ?

it's not the battery for sure , cuase I have 4 batteries , and tried all of them , no way to get recovery , I think in the end it's hardware problem somehow , I'll sent the device to some technician hopefully will fix it with minimum cost. thank's to you all, you are greate comunity.

I actually had this issue literally last week. I bet you start loosing signal and what not too before this happened. It's basically a hardware fault. There isn't anything you can do. It's not caused by screwing with hboot or anything like that, it's just your motherboard moving on to the next life...... thank god my carrier replaced my device.
Sorry your phone is toast, call HTC maybe they'll help you out anyways. There's no way to recover, and no way to get into hboot so they can't tell you've been messing with your phone.
Good luck to ya.

Help or Free Defy, just pay shipping

Hey All,
I'm sick and tired of flashing SBFs to my Defy. I made a mistake and didn't flash the CM7 kernel after flashing CM10 and Gapps and now it's doing the 'blank screen unless you flash a SBF in RSDlite' nonsense. I've flashed a million SBFs, none of them work. I cannot get anywhere except the bootloader mode with the blank screen. The battery is charged, etc.
If someone has a step or two I can try, I'm game; but if no one can help, Imma shoot it (or ship it to someone if they want it).
Thanks dudes.
I hate motorola.

Use this chinese, it will work no matter what.

Unless you really want to ship it to me, then I'm game. I need a new defy cause mine is kinda busted. The earpiece doesnt work and the lighted buttons at the bottom dont work too well, I had to install CM10 for on screen navigation. I can provide the shipping address for you and stuff.

It really doesn't boot to the bootlogo or bootanimation? Have you tried entering stock recovery and wiping data and cache? That's a must for a stock ROM to work after using a custom one... Get your battery out; hold volume down + power button and insert the battery while holding; keep holding and it should enter stock recovery after a couple of seconds at the red M splash screen. Then press both volume keys at the same time for the menu to show up!

He's right.
I don't know how many times that Chinese SBF got me unbricked. Always did the trick for me.
The only thing is: you'll be stucked with BL7 forever.
But that doesn't prevent you from using other Custom ROMs, just from using the usual SBF files provided by other carriers.

Alright, so I flashed the file, but I have the same issue. The phone does not do anything with any type of button combination, however if I plug it into a computer, I can flash a file to it and the screen shows the progress. That's all I can get to show on the screen at all. I have 2 batteries of good condition and an external battery charger.
Any ideas?

Flash the chinese SBF in RSD lite, the progress bar (on your PC) should count to 100% twice. It will then reboot your phone for you.
Do not unplug your phone before RSD lite says finished.. And yes, wiping in stock recovery is a must.
Don't lose hope on your defy, it is almost impossible to brick

Thanks for your replies guys. Ya, I did this and it says PASS but when it says that it's rebooting the phone, it never does. I can't get into the stock recovery to wipe anything Any more ideas? Perhaps I'm holding the wrong buttons?

Try doing this:
- once the SBF is flashed, wait for RSD Lite to finish its work
- if it says "Restart the phone manually" remove the battery and unplug the phone
- put the battery back in
- press and hold power and vol- buttons for a few seconds
- release the power button, but keep vol- button pressed
- if it shows a sign with Android guy and a ! in a triangle, release vol- button and press both vol+ and vol- buttons at the same time
- if nothing changes, press the screen at the bottom right corner (just above the magnifying glass, i.e. regular search button)
This should bring up stock recovery from which you should be able to wipe data/cache. This screen should be available by default, but sometimes it's hidden. After wiping the stuff, simply reboot the phone from the recovery.
I hope this helps.

Welp, I'm having some issues with my own Defy as well. So, yesterday I flashed that Chinese SBF. And now I can say that the steps from my previous reply won't work.

My wrong. This method does work http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1542956
Even though I didn't have an access to stock recovery and didn't wipe everything, the SBF loaded just fine, as well as the second (rooted one). Try that method, andjohn.
However, this didn't solve my problem with the camera, unfortunately, so I'm off to my thread.

Probably you are trying to flash an earlier BL version than what is already flashed.
So you probably need to try a BL7 SBF.
If you give up on your Defy give me a price to ship it to Australia. I might take it off your hands.

Deas nexus 4

Hello everyone,
I was doing an antutu test, and the phone just shut off yesterday. The battery was about 60% and then impossible to restart it. I then let it cool down 10mn then tried again with no luck. I plugged to the wall with original cable and plug and then a red flashing light was lit. I went to read online about this behaviour to find out it was (to some people say) due to battery being dead and had to wait to recharge a bit. I let charge for about 2h but there was no icon of battery charging on the screen. No need to mention that i have tried everything (holding power button for 60sec, holding volume down + power button etc etc) nothing was working. Then i read somewhere on this forum i had to press volume down + power THEN plug it into wall. I gave a try then it worked it went to recovery mode.... BUT BUT BUT once i tried to go to each option (start, restart bootloader, recovery mode), the phone was shutting down right away after the google image and again red flashing light... Bummer... So since it was getting into recovery mode i plugged it to pc and then followed the thread on how to reinstall stock rom etc etc. I followed steps but since i was already with a custom rom and kernel (PA+TRINITY) i used the toolboxkit because the command fastboot was not working in the command window. I did flashed the stock bootloader following what was supposed to be flashed first.Result.. Now no red flashing light, but nothing else either, no light, no power, no charging, no recovery mode, nothing... ANY ideas would be highly apreciated before i call google for an exchange.
Thanks to all for help.

Well since it does nothing else anymore i was going to tell them the truth besides the part it had another custom rom and kernel and i started the toolkit and i placed the 6 stock .img int he right folder then i started by flashing the bootloader and was waiting for reboot to flash the rest of the images like it is mentionned on the thread on this forum.
I used the toolkit to flash the bootloader but now the phone is dead completly. No light flashing, no battery icon, it is plugged on the wall and i get no power in it.. This is why im stuck before trying to flash stock rom and wipe all datas...
If you have any idea... i take it gladly!! but im not very used with toolkit so i dont seem to know how to wipe all datas besides flashing stok data image?? but the question is hos to get power back in phone now???
thank you for your precious help

[Q] LG G2 D802 Bricked..help me please

Hi!
I managed to get my device totally bricked.
Phone is on bootloop and I only get LG logo and then "Security Error" message. I can't enter recovery mode or download mode. Only mode I'm able to go is the "Hardware key control mode" mode, where I can see my IMEI code. I can't get windows or linux to recognize my phone. I've tried several drivers, but no luck getting my laptop recognize my phone. I have also tried couple of tutorials to solve this problem, but the main problem seems to be that I can't get my laptop to recognize my phone.
Is there anything I could do or should I just buy a new phone?

Hi Jutei,
What led to this bricking? Were you trying to install a ROM? Which ROM was it? Was it a wrong variant? Please be specific as to what you did to brick it..
Also, some people have seen success by installing this driver. Are you familiar with ADB?

Hi deathbytalkshow!
I ended up to this stage by rooting with this (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2448887) and trying to flash with this (http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g2/development-d802/rom-xenonhd-d802-t3036576).
First I wiped data and cache. Then rooted and it went trough with no problems. I tried to flash with this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.koushikdutta.rommanager. It booted to recovery and started flashing. Soon it said that flashing failed and after reboot I found myself in this bootloop.
Hope this helps someone to help me.

Try this:
1. Turn phone off.
2. Press POWER+VOL DOWN
3. When LG Logo appears, immediately release POWER+VOL and press and hold VOL UP+VOL DOWN

Hi, I tried this and got to the factory reset window. It started to do reset, but pretty soon it booted and went back to bootloop. So this didn't help. I'll try those ADB drivers today.

Hi, tried adb drivers, but no luck. My laptop still doesn't recognize my phone. USB gives power, but beside that windows doesn't seems to notice that my device is plugged. Is there anything else I could try?

so you didnt make a backup before flashing? what recovery did you flash? i bricked my phone with rom manager before and will never use it again but i had a backup and was still able to get it to eventually boot into twrp to restore.

Yeah, I was stupid enough not to backup. The recovery was the stock one. Is that where I went wrong? Should I've had custom recovery installed?

I turned usb-debugging was on before phone got bricked. I think the phone should be found somehow on computer. For example this fix (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=48765620#post48765620) needs Linux to recognize the phone, but I can't even do that. I guess the problem here is that my phone won't enter the download mode. I'm going to try with couple of different computers when I get back home from my holidays.
I also found another fix to try. I have to drain the battery and after a little re-charge I should be able to enter the download mode. I'm trying this next.

yes thats where you made your mistake. that also makes me think download mode wont work period, but im not positive. im surprised rom manager even tried to flash anything without a recovery. thats why i dont use apps like that anymore because you wouldnt of been able to **** it up that bad on your own. so you said you tried the key combo to take you to the factory restore? if you didnt flash a recovery then i would think you could get that to work. did you look into lg's flash tool? maybe that will somehow read it. i remember seeing a post in the general forum about a way to take the phone apart and short the chip out but ive never had to actually read it so i couldnt tell you whats all involved. sorry bout your phone.

Well, I just got myself in the same boat.
The phone will show the LG Logo then the security error and shut down. When plugged in with a USB to the PC it will just reboot.
Nothing is showing in Device Manager either. I done the same in the stock recovery and I tried to Side load CM12 it failed and straight into this loop.
I got nothing now. I just done see how shorting circuits will fix the issue when it's just software. Absolute nightmare as the 12 months warranty has gone.
I tried to do a hard reset and I get the android man saying its working then it shuts down and starts the error again. I'm unable to get in the Download Mode either and I'm stuck
I don't know what to do now. The flash and Support tool will not recognize the phone.

jfletch86, I tried LG Flash Tool, but the problem is that it just says no devices found. Same problem with fix I linked, I can't do anything to my phone if my laptop doesn't find it. I'm beginnig to loose hope

Oh man, I'm sorry to hear that you are in the same boat. Symptoms are the same. It seems that we have bricked our phones pretty badly. Hopefully someone comes up with fix that works. Problem is that anyone wise enough to fix this isn't stupid enough to end up this stage.

I'm hoping the same too. I just don't know why it wont allow me to do anything.
I have a nexus 4 and I've never had a problem.
I am getting nothing when plugged into my PC and its like the phone is turning on and off in the boot loop and the lg symbol.
I get the hard reset menu but the computer still doesn't recognise.
I just feel sick at the moment !!
