is it dead?

hello guys..i'm a newbie in android, and, i have a big problem now. i tried to install another rom instead of the stock one (spanish), and now my device doesn't start at all. i tried many ways, and each time i was able to go to fastboot menu or recovery menu. now, after i've done some steps from this tutorial: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=491350&highlight=model+incorrect , my device keep restarting by himself. I cannot reach even recovery menu or fastboot menu. It starts the logo screen for 4-5 seconds, and after that is restarting and again the logo, even if i'm trying to press home+power or camera+power. what can i do???
My problem is like in this movie

if i press action button + power, nothing happends on the screen, but the blue led in the right top corners stays powered on. Do you know why?

If you cannot get in to recovery (home + power) or the SPL (power + camera) then you're doomed.

not even with jtag or something, cannot be done?

Unless you physically replace the motherboard (which doesn't look too hard) then no you can't. As of yet there's no Jtag method.

Wiping The Atrix CLEAN

I've flashed back to 1.2.6 as well as hard reset via the default boot menu on the phone (pressing power and volume). My problem is...it unrooted and took me back through the initial setup...but all my files/folders are still on the device...photos, program folders, etc. I'm having to turn it in this week and I need to find a way to clean all this back to its original state.
So my question is this...
Is there a program that can clean this up?
OR...what files/folders are on the phone by default so I can just manually go in and delete off the other files?
Any suggestions?

Settings, storage and sdcard, unmount internal and format
Something like that. I will have to fire up my atrix to find out exactly

The android recovery (hold vol down and power while turning on) should do it. If you keep hitting Vol down after the white text pops up on the main loading screen (M with dual-core under it) you will get a ! with the triangle and an little droid dude. Wait a few seconds then tap the lower right hand corner of the screen to get the UI to show (you might have to try it a few times) then scroll down to the recovery and then press the blue ok button on the bottom left, then do the same thing again when it asks you to confirm it.
I had to do the same thing (turn it in) and that wiped it completely.

[Q] Please help,phone works normally, but, getting Stuck on fastboot and recovery

Dear experts,
Phone model: Karbonn A9+
Rom: Custom Rom Hyperion Skyfall
When I hold the power button, the phone turns on and off, No problems with that.
However, when I press volume Up+Power, I get a green screen saying FASTBOOT at the top left corner and that’s it. Nothing happens from that point.
when I press volume Up+Power, I get a green screen and holding the buttons past that I get a red screen saying RECOVERY at the top left corner and that’s it. Nothing happens from that point.
However, when I press volume down+Power, I get a black screen saying ENTRY QPST DOWNLOAD at the top and that’s it. Nothing happens from that point.
I have to remove the battery to turn my phone off.
Moreover, I tried a factory reset erasing internal and external storage, after erasing when the phone is rebooted and gets stuck in the start-up screen. I removed the battery and powered on the mobile ,no problem at all the phone turns on but not resettted.
What I did?
Tried to install latest CWM through recovery, updated it but I pressed something instead of restart your device.
What should I do to make everything work again? I am a noob in Android, please be extra patient and illustrative
Many thanks in advance

I am facing the same issue...today i flashed "ClockWorkMod_Recovery_V6_-_Karbonn_A15.zip" . It was flashed successfully. But after that whenever I try to enter recovery mode using Power+ Volume up keys, it shows red screen... thats it....i do not see typical recovery screen menu. However the screen turns full white. Only option is to take out the battery and restart the phone.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HELP

I think I bricked my ZTE Blade C2 v809

Please help me. I am in a sort of panic right now.
I have a ZTE Blade C2 v809, sold here in Portugal as Meo Smart A12. It was rooted and working fine. I was however getting some error 24's trying to install apps. I thought this might have had to do with using Titanium Backup to remove TouchPal (I did make a backup first), so I decided to restore TouchPal. There were however some errors in the restore and it was stuck there, so I decided to reboot the phone.
Chaos. Now it wont boot. If I press the button normally, the phone boots, I see the android logo, the screen goes black (Not shutdown black, a sort of light black background) and nothing happens. If I try to boot into Recovery mode by holding the power button and the volume down key, I just get the android logo stuck there, nothing happens. If I hold the power button and the volume up key, I get the picture of that laying down android with the message error.
Any more info I must provide please tell me, I am desperate for a solution, If I lose this phone I wont be able to get another one.

Okay I fixed it. Turns out the recovery menu DID work if I waited for a long time and tapped the screen. Used the update.zip available from the site, and it works like a charm

Yay, I bricked my phone, too.
I did something similar, changed recovery-from-boot.p name to recovery-from-boot.p-bak and install-recovery.sh to install-recovery.sh-bak
Now the phone doesn't boot properly, in fact it's stuck in a boot loop:
>starts
>shows white ZTE logo on screen
>restarts
Tried connecting the phone via USB cable and used fastboot devices & adb devices commands, no devices found.
Also tried pressing "power + vol down" and "power + vol up", nothing. I can't enter recovery mode or bootloader.
Apparently the remaining way to get in it's trough the SD slot, or maybe there's another way.
I kindly ask for help, couldn't be possible that I ruined this cell phone so fast.
Ideas, somebody?

I only can reach the Bootmenu. Bricked? What can I do?

Hi,
I'm not very experienced with those root things and followed a tutorial to do so.
I unlocked the bootloader, had TWRP installed and root. This worked. Now I wanted to remove Root and TWRP and go back to the original state. I couldn't find the stock recovery file, so I installed the P996A04V1.3.0B13_MR2_sd_ssl.zip via TWRP from the SD Card. Till here it worked. I could enter the stock recover and boot the phone.
Then Android wanted to install a security update. I allowed it and this is where the problem started.
The install process stood still on 25% for minutes. I thought it stuck and pressed and hold the power button to reboot that I can wipe the memory. But nothing happened. But the installation Process continued suddenly. I had the feeling that this power key worked like a skip key. So maybe it didn't install a file where it was stuck.
After the installation reached 100% the screen switched to black and nothing worked anymore. I couldn't restart the phone or anything but I think the phone was doing something cause it consumed electricity. When I checked the phone hours later I noticed it was empty.
I can reach the unlocked bootloader now, but none of the selections works. Doing nothing to boot or select Recovery lead to black screen and stuck. Then I have to wait until the battery is empty again. Fastboot, Power Off just restart the phone and I end in the Bootmenu again. I can't even fully charge the phone. As soon as it has enough power to start the Bootmenu appears. So I don't see the display of the charging process.
I don't understand how this could happen. I tried different key combinations when the phone had enough electricty to start. The phone always restarts and end in the bootmenu. Only when I press all three keys it's standing still on the ZTE Logo screen but as soon as I release the keys I end again in the bootmenu.
How can I force another Update?
regards

Let' start with the basic questions:
Do you have proper backup of your data?
Which Android Version did your Axon had before it went unusable?
You could try to reflash TWRP.
Boot your phone into bootmode.
Download a proper TWRP Image on your PC (https://forum.xda-developers.com/axon-7/how-to/download-center-factory-images-ota-t3606547)
Open a cmd shell (press the windows key and type 'cmd' -> press enter)
Navigate to the folder where the TWRP Image is stored ('
Code:
cd C:\Users\[I]YOUR_USER_NAME[/I]\Downloads\
')
Type: '
HTML:
fastboot flash recovery [I]TWRP_IMG_NAME.img[/I]
'
Afterwards you could try to reboot into recovery mode.

I don't have a backup. But there isn't something imortant on the phone that I want to keep. I can do a full reset and reinstall, too.
Android must have been the latest offical availabe what's in the file. Was it Android 8? V1.3.0B13
The fastboot mode doesn't work. The screen turns black and the LED blinks red but only for a moment. Then the phone restarts and I'm in the bootmenu again. Windows doesn't recognize it as device.
Is there a way to force it to do an update from my SDCard without it needed to be connected to a PC?

I don't know of any.
But you could boot into EDL Mode (Press and hold Both Volume button and then press the power button) and flash a Stock EDL rom from the Download Center i have linkd before.

It's not visible for the PC. The only thing I see is the charging screen when its total empty and you can't even boot as. As soon as it has enough power to switch to the normal screen the bootloader appears and when I do nothing the screen turns black and nothing happens. I don't even know if it is charging. The LED is off.

Follow this guide to unbrick it and then use MiFlash and flash an EDL ROM
