This Thread Is For Them Who Bricked There Phones
Don't start a new thread for your bricked phone & post here.
We will help you with every possible solutions.
Here are some quick tips :
(Here I'll use the terms like Download-Mode & Recovery-Mode, If you dont know what are they please click here. There "BOOT to RECOVERY" & "BOOT to BOOTLOADER" means how to enter into Recovery-Mode & Download-Mode respectively.)
A Bricked Phone May Have One or More (Below Problems) :
1. Booting to the ROM(Android) not possible.
2. Booting to the Recovery-Mode not possible.
3. Black screen or Bootloop(Repeated Restarting of Phone at Boot Animation or Samsung Galaxy Y Logo).
Possible Solutions :
(Remember there'll be data loss using these solutions so always try to keep a backup)
1. If you can still enter into Recovery-Mode
(a). Try to clear Data & Cache then check.
(b). Try Installing a Custom ROM using CWM(ClockWorkMod Recovery) & check.
(For Custom ROM & CWM Visit here.)
2. If Recovery-Mode didn't helped Enter into Download-Mode & flash an odin supported stock rom(using ODIN 1.84 or 1.85) from Doky73's Thread(Flashing Guide in 2nd post).
*You can inform me, if anything left out.
Note :
1. I'll be not held responsible for anything that happens to your phone.
2. Before posting try to search for similar type problems out there & try the solution, if that doesn't solve your problem then post here.
Make this a sticky.. there are many users who say that their phone is bricked
help! bricked SGY
galaxy y bricked
i bricked my sgy last 3 weeks.
here's what i did.
-installed creedsix rom.
-installed UOT kitchen Themes.
-wipe data
problem
-stuck in bootlogo
-softbricked.
-cant go to recovery mode
-flashed too many times, still stuck in bootloop
i flashed at least 20 times, with different firmwares.
but still no luck, still boot lop.
my professor said something about secondary bootloader that might help. but i had definitely no idea what it is.
i asked some techies on the mall, and they said that this phone must undergo the JTAG process. but it cost $20.
help me. thanks.

can you go to download mode??
(try pressing volume down+ home button + power button all at the same time)
if it still can, then your SGY is still good
go to this ---> thread
and just flash your country's firmware
From where you got the firmwares.... How you flashed...
Ever tried re partitioning.... Ever flashed boot loader....
For info... Jtag or boundary-scan is used for testing & servicing high technology electronic boards...

just for info, jtag will not fix the problem. IT IS SCANNING.. like trouble shooting.
that only means that those technicians are pretending to be well educated but the truth is that they only wanted to get some cash out of your pocket.

this one will a little bit off topic...what is creedsix?is it a rom for SGY?
if the phone still can boot that means everything is fine. pull out the battery, wait 10 seconds, reinsert the battery, do three magic combo button, you'll enter recovery mode. don't worry about our bootloader. our bootloader is stored in different partition thus installing any custom rom won't affect our bootloader. as far as i know, there is only one person who have messed up with bootloader and got an ultimate hard brick.

a hard brick is when our device doesn't respond to power button.
the guy that I've mentioned above is doky73. he accidentally flash a bootloader for sgs2 into his sgy. last time he said that he send his sgy to samsung service center and buy a new one. I'm not sure if samsung has revived his sgy.
edit: I didn't to offend him but I think I've mispelled doky's username. edited.

whatever It may be... You should never mess up with bootloaders, if you don't actually know what's there significance...
Brief description on android starting process :
pbl(primary boot loader "boot.bin") executes first and then it executes sbl ...
Sbl(secondary boot loader "sbl.bin") is responsible for responding to combos...download mode.. Intercepting odin commands..... booting system...booting kernel.... Charging your battery while switch off... Etc etc
Harm anyone of them... And Your phone goes into lifetime hibernation, Hard-bricked.

Hi to all, it's only my second post but i have a major problem with my samsung s-5360. it's won't boot anymore, but it can enter cmw and recovery. This is what i did wrong i believe. At first i installed morocs 1.8 kernel on creed fusion version 3.1 and it wouldn't boot anymore, so i ended up using a back-up i made before with cmw. And it worked well and phone was booting again and was on stock again. ( because back-up was made with stock-version obviously )
Then i thought: well let's try repensis noob version. And installed it and there was also an update 2 and installed it over it as well before booting the os, maybe this is what i did wrong dunno .. But afterwards it didn't boot anymore and whatever i tried, restoring one of the 3 images i made, or using one of the roms posted here like Creed fusion 3.1 rom or Aurora 2 nor Chobits didn't work.
I also tried reverting to stock with odin 1.85 but when i connected my phone via usb to the pc, odin didn't see my phone. ( after selecting the 3 tar files in odin ) Maybe i'm doing wrong something there.
What i also have to add is that when doing factory wipe in recovery it says formatted E: but unable to format E:\dev10 and dev11. clearing cache is no problem and also cleared dalvik cache. Can you please help me out ? I know, it sounds very noobish but well, i have to face it because can't do it myself without help anymore it seems ... Thanx a lot in advance.
please make sure that you've installed the driver and plug the usb to computer only on download mode when flash with odin. dev10 and dev11 are the partition for data and cache. that error means something was wrong with your recovery mode. you'll need to install a fresh stock rom with odin.

to be precise: the guy was Doky73...
I was playing with different revisions of SBLs because on SGS2 some old SBL gives the possibility to reset custom bin counter via JIG. At a given point accidentally browsed SGS2 bootloader instead of SGY one...
But I did perfect job, the service center wasn't able to detect the cause of bricking, but they recovered my phone under warranty. (I think they're not reading this forum )

Guys,
I need your urgent assistance .. I think I have bricked my phone and need assistance.. Basically I was running the Official ICS ROM which I got from XDA website it was the LQ2 kernel for the Galaxy Note.
Last night I custom flashed the Criskelo ICS v7 ROM but wasn't too happy and wanted to go back to stock ICS .. So I went into PC Odin and flashed the stock ICS Firmware.. upon booting I went into CWM (Volume up + home+power) did a factoy reset and cache, dalvik cache wipe.. Then reboot system.. The phone was stuck on the Samsung Galaxy Note screen .. So I tried to Flash the Stock ICS LQ2 rom again via PC Odin and now it just hangs almost at 90% at factoryfs.img?
Am I completely messed up or is there a way to resolve this please can you guys assist me in what I must do.. I don't know if this is a soft or super brick..
Many Thanks..
PS: I even did the PIT file thing and still no joy
you custom flashed??
what do u mean u custom flashed??
Get a rom with bootloader in it. Don t use repartition. Make sure you flash the bootloader.
Sounds like you wiped from a stock Samsung kernel, which is a big no no. The only way to fix this is to repartition your phone with a .pit file that has been designed not to use the the corrupted sectors of your internal storage. If you search hard enough, you'll find a thread about it. I successfully recovered a phone I bricked way back with the first LP1 ICS kernel. It does work! You'll lose some space though.

Yes I factory reset a STOCK ICS ROM .. please can you assist in what I need to do.. Which PIT file and which ROM Shall I try to flash with.. please assist.. Many thanks..
Thanks for your help guys .. followed the german dudes tutorial and downloaded the .PIT file and managed to re flash stock ICS .. Now the only issue is my internal memory is showing 8.24 GB.. what happened to the other approx 8GB? I thought the Note was 16GB? Before windows used to show it as 11GB but now showing 8.24 GB is there a fix for this or is the bad or do I have to live with it.. ?
read the whole tut again it tells you why since you have to move partition tables.
Yes...it's a rather small deal anyway...there are 64gb SD card after all.

My advice is "live with it". Coz what the "German dudes" pit files do is avoid the "locked" sectors in your internal card. While you can try different pit files or try create new partitions via adb -- you probably wont gain much.
Or you could send it to Sammy for a warranty claim, after resetting the flash counter and then bricking it again via odin using the original pit file. Basically what you need to do is erase all evidence that u tampered with it. This is a risky option... (You can tell them phone got messed up in kies upgrade). This happened to me (on an almost new note, so i kinda did the same, except that i went a step further and deleted the boot-loader as well = hard brick. However i dont recommend it). And they replaced the phone.
I emphasize again this is risky -- and do more research before if you do this.
Problem as of now is since you've modified the pit -- and also the phone is working, you cant claim now.

Thanks for your assitance bro.. I will live with it. .I don't mind loosing 3 gb .. Already got 32GB SD card so no issue. Just happy its all back up and running really.. Big thanks to the German brother you the man
Its Forest1971 who first wrote this workaround and it was hg42 who rewrote the pit file and it was Dr null who proposed this way, Its all XDA members who helped you out of this brick. Not some German sites. Google throws up German results first
I am not harsh by anyway saying this. Just want to write it as it happened.
Was witnessing all the issues.
I am writing a guide for Noobies for bricks. Guess I get some help ....

I actually followed his guide and repartioned manually and only lost about one Gbyte vs using the pit file and losing over 3 G bytes. Took a lot of trial and error though

hi! i was in the same state as you! now, listen very carefully. Now, all you have to do is to use another PC and run ordin. Everything should work fine! My note was soft-bricked yesterday night and i had tried endless counts of tries just to get it up and running. Just earlier today,I saw someone who posted a comment in a similar forum and suggested that you should try a different PC it worked. AND IT worked for me now, just use this pit file that i had upload and download any (G-N7000)stock firmware that has (code.md5, modem.md5 and csc.md5). just place the pit file in ordin. ( do note you will lose 3gb of your internal memory) and click start hopefully it worked for you

can you contact entropy before sending your unit to samsung??
entropy is looking, if im not mistaken, for a purely stock bricked note... kindly pm him

Not necessary to use the 3gb regain patch.
There's a 1gb or 2gb regain patch also. And it's enough.

Though so many ppl told u alrd, i just want to say, in any case, when u r in ICS alrd, it is totally prohibited to do factory reset through CWM with samsung ICS original kernel.
When u need to wipe or factory reset, make sure u r on a safe kernel like speedmod or notecore.
If u want to recover ur note, just use the pit file method. It works.
Make sure u use the correct patch of 16gb or 32gb, depends on ur note.
Always try from the smallest patch, so u won't loose so many storage.
Anyway, latest CriskeloROm with speedmod is the best for battery life nd performance.

You do not need to rename anything dude, You should have installed a custom recovery if you flashed a rom already before, you go back to recovery, then go to the option to select zip from sdcard, find and select the file, that is it.
The android error screen you described is the stock recovery.
Also once you install one of the latest CWM recovery you can easily flash the bootloader.
how i can install recovery on original stock ????

This is from another thread HERE.....b4 u do anything GET YOUR CPUID - please ask if anything is not clear
You may need to root first so u can delete the file at step 2
1. get yr cpuid and save it multiple places open a file explorer and go to /sys/firmware/fuse/acer_cpuid
2. then go to /system and rename/delete the "recovery-from-boot.p" file - this will prevent your custom recovery being overwritten with the stock recovery.
3. have your custom rom on yr ext SD card, ready to flash ONCE you've flashed the unlocked bootloader
4.To flash the v8 bootloader you need to use nvFlash and there are a couple ways if going about that...
a) manually by using the guide in the OP of civato's BL thread
b) using one of the auto tools like afterOTA or apxFlash - links also in that same post...
c) you'll also get to pick a custom recovery and it will be flashed at the same time - cwm 1.7.3 is recommended until you're running stable
d) From yr cpuid - generate yr sbk - how to do that is in the same OP
5) once flashed, boot straight to recovery
6) Do a nandroid backup then the wipes
7) Flash the rom
8) Reboot to recovery and wipe again
9) Job Done!
notes:
Everything you need to do this is in civato's BL OP - sorry can't post the link but its stickied in the Dev Forum
[GUIDE]A500/501/G100W-Installing ICS V8 UNL-BL & CWM Or back to HC BL(24-6-2012)
the afterOTA tool,
- saves all yr uid details etc in a txt file
- flashes v3 bootloader -
- it also installs the needed drivers too
- its pretty good at what it does...
seems some are having wifi issues with jellytime but the dev is working on this
you've done the right thing by asking questions before attempting anything, wish everyone was like you...if my post isn't clear then please let me know....for those of us used to the way things work with our Acer, its hard to remember how difficult it seemed when we were new!!
good luck

"recovery-from-boot.p"
dibb_nz said:
This is from another thread HERE.....b4 u do anything GET YOUR CPUID - please ask if anything is not clear
You may need to root first so u can delete the file at step 2
1. get yr cpuid and save it multiple places open a file explorer and go to /sys/firmware/fuse/acer_cpuid
2. then go to /system and rename/delete the "recovery-from-boot.p" file - this will prevent your custom recovery being overwritten with the stock recovery.
3. have your custom rom on yr ext SD card, ready to flash ONCE you've flashed the unlocked bootloader
4.To flash the v8 bootloader you need to use nvFlash and there are a couple ways if going about that...
a) manually by using the guide in the OP of civato's BL thread
b) using one of the auto tools like afterOTA or apxFlash - links also in that same post...
c) you'll also get to pick a custom recovery and it will be flashed at the same time - cwm 1.7.3 is recommended until you're running stable
d) From yr cpuid - generate yr sbk - how to do that is in the same OP
5) once flashed, boot straight to recovery
6) Do a nandroid backup then the wipes
7) Flash the rom
8) Reboot to recovery and wipe again
9) Job Done!
notes:
Everything you need to do this is in civato's BL OP - sorry can't post the link but its stickied in the Dev Forum
[GUIDE]A500/501/G100W-Installing ICS V8 UNL-BL & CWM Or back to HC BL(24-6-2012)
the afterOTA tool,
- saves all yr uid details etc in a txt file
- flashes v3 bootloader -
- it also installs the needed drivers too
- its pretty good at what it does...
seems some are having wifi issues with jellytime but the dev is working on this

thanks a million for your kind help ..
actually i am still unable to unlock my boot-loader .. and load recovery in order to flash a new ROM .. but still unable to unlock my boot-loader although i tried acer recovery to load another recovery but still unsuccessful .. i found that i can't delete the file you mentioned "recovery-from-boot.p" even i used root manager to delete it by force while it says deleted after requesting permission but i found nothing deleted the cursed file "recovery-from-boot.p" still there !!!
i am going crazy for weeks now i am just trying to unlock my boot loader in-order to flash another Rom .. but can't log into recovery always same dam android with the yellow triangle and now another curse with this file that can't be deleted !!!
just tell me how i can overcome that curse and go into recovery by any mean .. some guys tell me that i have to write some command in the lynx language to pass that war )
any advices !! :crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying:
your root is broke
It sounds like your 'root' is broke or you havent mounted system as writable in order to have any changes stick...so
download the zip file attached to this post...ICSRoot by blackthund3r
extract the files and run the .exe - once its done REBOOT your tab
I'm not sure of this root manager you spoke of...????
Most file explorers will have a setting that enables you to 'write' and make changes to the /system partition - so make sure this setting is enabled...Superuser should pop up and ask if you want to 'grant' your app 'permission' if you don't see this then:
check superuser app is installed on your tab,
You are on the Stock ICS bootloader you cannot use Acer Recovery Installer to install your recovery....you need the v8 first ok?
So root yr tab with ICS root, REBOOT and then run nvFlash to install your recovery/BL
still unable to install another recovery

oh dear...I'm sorry you're having so much trouble flashing a recovery...
a couple if things first -
1. everytime u update to a newer version then u WILL LOSE ROOT!
2. you cannot use the acer recovery installer on ics
3. wifi on stock ics is known for being problematic
4. flashing the unlocked bl/recovery Must be done in specific order if u don't follow the steps exactly it won't work
so, you can try a complete factory reset of yr tab by using the option in settings>backup and restore....u will lose all yr data and settings - but yr wifi should work....for awhile at least....
as far as flashing the unlocked bl goes - there s a guide in my sig how to
your other option is to rollback to HC using tdv4_rollback rom a link to that is also in the guide
,
im outta suggestions but wish u luck in getting itsorted

Your first hurdle to overcome is to delete that file you need to delete that file that causes the stock recovery to be restored. No point in doing anything beyond getting the files you need ready and getting the Acer drivers installed.
Are you using root explorer to delete that file? You need to click the button at the top that remounts the file system as r/w, by default the file system is mounted as r/o and will not allow you to make changes.
If that does not work, do me a favor: download this root check tool from the play store:
http://tinyurl.com/d6tj85a (Play Store link to root checker basic - free app)
That utility will check that the su binary is installed and that permissions are set. Give that tool a run and report back to us so we can get you running!

You do not need to delete "recovery-from-boot.ICSRootBackup.p" the root tool has renamed the boot.p file for you not sure why you cannot delete it though sounds strange!
Go take a look here at this guide and see if it helps any: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2049778
If you are using apxFlash tool go to the "Bundle Market" on the first screen and choose "Bundle No. 17" this is V8 bootloader with cwm 1.7.3 theres a good guide here showing this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=32905041&postcount=20

If it is still under warranty go to a Samsung service center and act dumb. Tell them something like "I was listening to music and it did that"
Its your last resort

you can't use download mode but you can still enter recovery? that's pretty weird... are you sure you're trying correctly? are the drivers properly installed and stuff? if it still doesn't work, then go to this section of the forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4/i9500-develop there you will find plenty of roms you can flash with CWM recovery

Hi mate,
Lets go step by step.....
If you can get into recovery you can get into download...
1. Press and hold Volume Down, Home and Power buttons at the same time.
2. Release the buttons when you get the warning message.
3. Now press Volume Up button to confirm.
after you are in download mode lets flash a stock rom back in you can follow this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2265477
or go to sammobile and get the latest one from your country
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/
same one you had or newer ,
Another option would be ....
Take external sd out of your phone and use any posible adapter or device so you can use you pc to place a custom rom in....now place it back in your phone and from cwm instal the custom rom...
Stop panicing. This is basic rom flashing.
Just flash a custom rom from within cwm.

It is better to go to Samsung he might get a new s4
I have LG G2 D802 32GB. When I bought it, there was Android 4.4.2 KitKat installed.
Then I rooted it using ioroot25 and installed custom recovery using AutoRec.
I flashed CloudyG3 v1.2 rom by @Cloudyfa using TWRP.
It was working really good except the VOIP calls, thus I wanted to revert back to stock.
I found this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476
I tried to flash it using some Europe Open KDZ from this page: http://storagecow.eu/index.php?dir=Xda%2FLG+G2%2FStock%2F
The flashing started and stucked at I think 4%. I rebooted the phone and it appeared as qhsusb_dload.
I can't remember if I clicked on Normal or CFE flash. But I think it was normal.
I tried to unbrick it with this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2582142
After that I got only LG logo and no recovery, no fastboot, no download mode, no qhsusb_dload mode, no nothing.
Now I got board replacement. The board have rooted Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean installed.
As I want to have CloudyG3 installed. I tried to do that by installing custom recovery and then flashing the CloudyG3 rom and KitKat baseband. But I think I have a battery drain issue, as Cludyfa already said. I also tried with flashing the Cust and Persist partitions from the KitKat KDZ, but my battery didn't got any better.
The question is, why I bricked my phone with LG flash tool? What should I do to make sure that this won't happen again?
I made backup of entire phone nand (mmcblk0). Should I DD it if I get the bulk mode (qhsusb_dload) again?
Thank you in advance for your answers.
@mss1988 if the phone is stuck at 4% just let it still for some time cause the program could might be bugged or some other error, just leave the phone on dont restart it cause the phone has first removed the stuff and didnt copied the bootloader etc yet.
If you get qhsusb_dload mode then I suggest to use the unbrick guide and also Pick the right files for your phone. You can DD your backup to your phone but using the unbrick guide seems safer to me.
Also check when you can use that qhsusb dload that all files are copied good.
Tip to prevent brick after root and custom recovery: Flash an stock rom through recovery or an stock rom which got modified under the hood.

If it was stuck at 4% you could ask it on the thread of the lg flashtool since the dev of it and or other users may know the problem.
