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.

[Q] flashing hd2 with win 7

Hey guys,
So I've decided to flash my mates hd 2 with win 7.
i downloaded the rom from the forum which has the loader (i think).
i watched the video demo on youtube and followed the instructions there.
when I boot up the phone after rom updater, I can't get into the bootloader! all I can see is htc logo and nothing happens.

Please help!

With the phone turned off, hold the volume down button on the side of the phone and press the power button. Keep holding the volume down button until you see the tri-colored screen (this is bootloader).
at this point i would suggest you flash task29, enter tri-colored screen again (bootloader), then flash magldr v.1.12, then let the phone boot into magldr, choose option 5 and flash wp7.

Hi,
I cannot get into the tri-colored screen now! thats my problem. I updated HSPL to *.HSPL, and tried updating the rom and this happens!
I have tried the reset method by holding Vol + and - keys with Power button, but that doent help too
how do i used task29 when i cant get past the HTC logo on the phone?

try soft reset. remove the back cover then press a blunt pointed object such as a pen or stylus into the reset button to the bottom left of the SIM, near sd slot, and release. The phone will then reboot. try to get into bootloader as soon as it restarts

hi, i tried installing the rom again, and i get some cpp error?
dont know why.
i tried reverting back to stock rom, installed it successfully, and now when I unplugged the mobile, it turns off. when i plug it in it turns back on and it loops at HTC logo i mean, I turns itself off and turns itself on.
why do you think this happens?

Hi,
The problem is When I plug in my phone to USB, it boots up shows a HTC logo, with
R 2.06.51.07
G 15.30.50.07 U
D 1.66.76641
written in red on left corner and holds on for a few seconds and turns off, and turns on itself.
end note: the phone only starts when I plug it to USB, else its a brick

Urgent Help - Defy bricked itself!! stuck on red M logo - going away in 6 hours!!!

So everything was running fine - i was on the last CM7 build ( maniacs final ) with a BL7 defy, left it on charge overnight and when i came ot it this morning its stuck on the red M logo and wont boot - and recovery has gone as well - no blue LED.

Power it off fully by taking out the battery and wait for a few minutes. Then press Vol- and then power button, till ! mark comes. Then press both Vol+ and vol-.

thanks, left it for a good few minutes, all i get is a few minutes of black screen, followed by the red motorola logo, still nothing,
the weird thing is that it bricked itself after running fine for the last few weeks.

Hmmm, that worked for me. Took out the battery, left it for 2 minutes. I put back the battery, nothing happened. Then I realized that the phone had gone off so I did what I told you.

I can get to the bootloader with no problem, stock recovery on the other hand is completely absesnt

You're not doing it correctly I suspect. However, flash an sbf and try.

By not doing it right, what do you mean?? this is what ive been doing take out battery - wait - replace battery and then hold power button down then hold the power button while keeping the volume down key pressed
RSD lite is showing the device as Omap3630 and imei as N/A

What I mean is that when you put the battery back, the phone should not switch on (the moto symbol should not come)
As long as it shows in RSDlite, its all good.

THE BLUE LED ONLY COMES WHEN CUSTOM RECOVERY IS INSTALLED.
SEE GOOGLE ON HOW TO ENTER STOCK RECOVERY. IF YOU MANAGED TO USE RSDLITE THEN I'M SURE YOU CAN GO TO STICK RECOVERY.
When you put back the battery, does the phone start? If it does then remove it and wait a little longer and try. It should work, it has worked for me. Plus If it shows in rsdlite you can try flashing to stock.

[Q] [LG Optimus e400] LG Logo on CWM Reboot Into Recovery

Used SuperOneClick 1.7 RageAgainstTheCage to root the phone.
Installed ROM Manager.
Downloaded "cm-9-20130929-NIGHTLY-e400.zip" from the CyanogenMod site.
Downloaded "gapps-ics-20120429-signed.zip" from goo.im.
Put phone into USB file mode.
Transferred the .zip's onto the SD card.
Went into ROM Manager.
Selected "Install ROM from SD Card".
Selected the CM9 .zip.
Confirmed the reboot.
It reboots and only shows the LG logo and sits there forever.
Holding the power button reboots the phone and it's back like it was.
SuperUser is installed and ROM Manager has SuperUser permissions.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Ok, so I removed the battery for about 30 seconds, then put it back in.
Held down the Home & Volume - & Power buttons.
The Menu and Back lights blinked.
I continued holding the buttons down for about a minute and a half, and the lights kept blinking. I assumed they would continue blinking forever, so I let go of the buttons.
The phone boots up to the lock screen like normal.
What am I missing?
====================
EDIT > I tried holding Home & Volume - & Power while on the Home screen, the Power Off menu came up, kept holding the buttons, the phone shut down and rebooted back to the lock screen like normal. So I guess it's still a no-go for me at this point.
EDIT 2 > According to other threads here some are having to unlock the bootloader. Where's a good place to start looking for how to do that if it's needed for this phone?

So I've been googling this crap for 3 days now, and it seems that my phone is just this magic piece of crap that will only show the LG logo while trying to do a hard reset or trying to get into recovery. I'm at my wit's end.

I removed the battery, plugged it in via USB to PC, held down Vol Down, Vol Up, & Power (it was showing an animation that looked like it was showing me to put the back of the phone on), the animation goes away as I'm holding the buttons, the Menu and Back button lights started flashing quickly, I let go of the buttons, then it shows the LG Logo for a few seconds, then it shows the blue TracFone logo for a few seconds, then goes back to showing the animation again.

I got it using "adb reboot recovery". The problem was that the recovery wasn't properly pushed because of so little space on this phone. It's slightly different than the regular L3 e400's because of some reason. It's a Straight Talk LG Optimus Dynamic. Thanks for your replies.

[Q] LG G2 D802 can't get into download mode

Hi
need help!!!!!
My phone is completely messed up.
i got an update form LG.
after installing it the phone got suck in boot loop.
I has CWM installed.
i but could and even when try to install new rom it was still in boot loop.
i installed manual via adb commands TWRP.
and then thing became real bad.
no after it powers up i get the LG logo.
1 sec after i get few error codes and then black screen without ADB support.
i trierd to get into download mode after reading in forums that only this can help.
but I can't.
I powered down my phone in all possible methods:
power 10sec, power + V- 10 sec, power + V+ 10 sec.
after the phone is off i tried power it back into download mode with the next combinations:
power + V+ and then USB, power + V- and then USB,power + V+ and V- and then USB.
did not work.
can't get into download mode.
I will be happy to get some help.
Thanks
Ran :good:

sorry was wrong.
try turn phone off, add usb, then press volume up. I think that's it.

Hi
did no work also

I am having the same problem, went to lg service centre, they could not enter download mode as well. I might need to change the circuit board for $321 singapore dollars..

Hi
i think you have to use this fix: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2582142

This happened to me,
Try holding the power and volume down hold until lg logo, let go and press and hold the volume down and power again, it should get you in recovery.
It might get you into a screen called "Factory hard reset" Agree using the power button, and it should take you to your recovery, and try flashing a ROM along with the Gapps (if you want, which I did) and then I used a recovery file after booting back into recovery to restore it to my previous state.
Good luck :good:

Shut down phone
From what I got from this, you're having problems shutting down your phone, correct? It keeps booting back up after the screen goes black? If this is the case, hold the power button (and don't let go) until it goes black, reboots itself, then goes black again. Shouldn't take more than 2 seconds after rebooting to shut down. Then, you can do volume up + USB to get into download mode.
