[Q] is my phone bricked?

noob help!
so i was just charging my phone. then all of a sudden my phone froze.
restarted it, then its just stuck at the htc logo. then the jetplane sound from the at&t intro.
tried doing a hard reset or entering recovery but after it reboots, still gets stuck at the htc logo.
(MORE INFO: im not sure if my phone is still rooted because i restored it my at&ts factory rom,cant change settings for usb debugging coz i ant get inside my phone,i still have my nandroid backups in my memory card from before)
is there anyway i could fix this? thanks in advance.

Try booting into recovery and deleting cache, reboot. If it still gets stuck, then try again, this time deleting user settings. If all else fails, restore your nandroid backup or restore the factory rom. If the problem is the rom, try flashing the RUU.

phone gets stuck at the htc screen when i choose recovery mode. also when i clear data.
tried re-flashing the phone with the stock rom from htc's website. it says its successful but still.. stuck at the htc startup screen.

if u flashed the factory rom back on it, then clockwork is gone is probably gone now. It most definitely is not rooted anymore either. Have you tried to reroot the phone?

That was an un-wise decision to put the stock rom back on. Like stated above. Try a Re-Root. Then flash a CUSTOM ROM to your phone. If this doesn't work. Sounds like you are S.O.L.

[Q] Freezing,Stock Recovery problem

well my dad was having problems with his defy, running a stock us 2.2.1. I looked at his phone, and after a few minutes, it would freeze up, and go into a bootloop, or still screen of the motorola logo.
First thing i tried is the stock recovery, which would freeze as soon as i started to wipe cache, and or data reset. After that, it gets stuck on the motorola logo no matter what.
I thought flashing a different .sbf would work, tried it, and finally got it to load to the "Welcome to android - please touch to continue" screen, as soon as i touched it, it froze.
flashed - JRDNEM_U3_3.4.2_179-002_DEBLUR_SIGN_SIGNED_UCAJRDNEMARAB1B80AA03A.0R_PDS03C_USAJRDNFRYORTCEE_P016_A016_HWp3_Service1FF
went into recovery again to try to hard reset, but once again it freezes when it starts to clear cache/data factory reset.
Reflashed, now its still stuck on the motorola logo.
Any help is appreciated, thanks

No I can't sadly, any recommendations?

Found a fix for anyone having this problem.v
Flash any sbf , and
Once its says "restart phone manually', exit the program, and unplug your phone, plug in your phone while in boot loader, them start the program,.and it should. Finish
the process, now you can clear cache and factory reset. Sorry I drank a little, the program is to install sbf's I can't think of the name

[Q] Please help! L7 bricked...

I was flashing a new kernel and then after reboot the phone got stuck at the LG logo. I couldn't and still can't get into recovery-mode. I tried this this and that. But nothing worked.
I can get into emergencymode though, so i tried this page, i have flashed a couple of firmware kdz-files in emergencymode. Some got errors, but the only that changed after that i got to "moving" LG logo (after i hard resetted the phone again after flashing). And when i plug the phone in my laptop i get a battery-icon. Nothing more...
I am at a loss! Can someone help me?

update: i got into CWM and then i tried to restore data. I got one error that restoring cache didnt work. Now the phone is in a bootloop...:silly: after the lg-logo and after the cyanogenmod logo i get into android, but when the message comes "android is being upgraded" and "starting apps" (dont know if this is exactly the same in english, but in dutch it says "Android wordt bijgewerkt" and "Apps starten"), the phone restarts itself and the process starts all over again...
Strange thing is now, i cant get in CWM again! Its really bugging me.....

Can you enter emergency mode?
If yes, use lg official b2capp program and flash again everything by your IMEI.

yes, i can get into emergencymode. But the B2Capp program freezes after it tries to find an update... Now trying LG PCsuite...
[edit] LG PC Suite cant find the phone. Now back to kdz-files...

ok, im at a dead end:
- i can get in emergencymode, not in recovery;
- i can install kdz-files from laptop with the phone in emergency-mode, but only the official kdz-files are installed without errors. All other options for installing firmware from a pc fail, i cant get it installed (b2capps) or i can but the program doesn't recognize the form (lg pc suite). Flashing new CWM from laptop failed also.
- even with kdz-files installer android doesn't go past second boot screen (the live one). I got past it once, but i cant repeat the process. i got to CWM then, but when i tried to restore a backup it got in a bootloop. After that all attempts getting past bootscreen have failed.
I got my old phone back, but if somebody has a idea how to revive the LG i'll appreciate it! Right now i'm considering it bricked.

Try To reflash it with LG Software update tool (not PC suite) in emergency mode (voldown and plug in USB) if this won't work i can't help you

[Q] The bricked Droid PRO details

Yesterday I installed a custom rom
Today I flashed the verizon stock rom to see if that solves the problem (I've done before without any problem, first making a wipe data). But when the process is complete, the phone is stuck at bootscreen logo droid (not at M logo).
I rebooted the phone into recovery mode and did a wipe data.
Then the phone does nothing. I clicked on the Android but nothing happens. I´ve tried making wipe data lot of times but nothing happens. I´ve also tried to flash with 2.3.3 rom (I have 2.3.4) but nothing hapens too.
I can´t turn on debbuging usb mode because of this, so I can´t run a full wipe with ADB. Also, I don´t have any recovery mod or something like that.
Bootloader and stock recovery work both fine. So I think that this an exclusively software issue, but I don´t know how to resolve it.
There is any way to turn on the debbuging usb mode without using Android? Or there is any way to make a full wipe with ADB in this condition? Or what else could I try?
PD: Also tried to make an update of kernel and rom via SDcard, but I always get a signature error.

[Q] Stuck at Boot / Nothing working anymore.

EDIT:
UPDATED POST AT THE BOTTOM!
Hey guys,
flashed czechops CM 10.2 a while ago everything was running fine.
On Saturday i decided to let the battery drain completely to do a full recharge. That`s when the Problems started.
After booting the Phone up i was stuck in a Bootloop with the Cyanogenmod Logo turning around and around and around and so on.
Okay i thought let`s reboot and see what happens.
Still the same.
I then booted into recovery by holding the x button on the keyboard and power and then when the androind in the triangle showed up using vol + and vol - to get into recovery.
I then deleted the cache and rebooted again (No full wipe to factory default trying to avoid that).
After that the phone turned on saying Android is getting updated Updating Package x of y.
After its done its now stuck in Apps getting started.
After i found out to get to the Bootmenu i decided to check the Recovery Menu there.
I can choose between Motorola Stock Recovery (the normal one i already was on)
and Team Win Recovery.
So i choose Team Win Recovery and thought okay since its not working im gonna install the Update of czechops 10.2
Installing itself worked fine. But now im stuck in the same loops.
Currently im goind a Backup of the System with the Team Win Recovery in the hope i wont loose the data even if what im trying to avoid a full factory wipe.
What kinda poped in my eyes when i started the recovery was that it said E: Unable to locate '/boot' partition for backup.
Could this be the problem which is stopping the phone from booting correctly?
And if so how can i fix it?
Hope anyone can help me,
Kind Regards,
Invi

I had te same problem before doing a clean install.
I don't know why but, if you install the android 10.0 tezet and from there start the gapps, creating a account and installing your apps, you do not have problems to install the 10.2.
Good luck.

Thanks for the heads up jonas.
Unfortunately its too late its seems. My Milestone is just a stone now it seems.
After trying to install 10.2 12.03.14 and that not working correct after doing a full factory wipe i decided to install cm 11 from czechop.
Unfortunately it seems it failed.
My milestone just boots up and stops at the First Logo. No lights. No chance to get in any recovery mode except the normal one.
Bootloader was working some time but stopped cause the Battery is almost empty.
The Problem is i cant even load the Phone anymore cause as soon as i put it on a charger it boots up and wont get enough battery power to live for a few minutes.
So the only thing left working is the normal Android 3e Recovery. Hope i can do anything from there.

Don't give up.
Your problem it's normal, you fisrt need a global battery charger to recharge your battery.
After it, go to boot recovery, you must turn on the milestone holding " volume down + camera" or "volume up + camera", than you need to uses the RSD Lite to reflash your milestone 2.
Normaly, when do you came from another room, you stay in boot loop, so you need to entery in Miestone recovery, "x + volume down" than after it you do a factory reset. It will boot normaly after that.
To go to boot recovery, you must turn on.
Try harder.
(Guys, lets try to help a little)
Sorry about my poor english

I wont. Already ordered an global battery charger yesterday. In the mail from the store delivery is 7-10 Weekdays.
Good thing i have a second cellphone which i can use in the meantime.

i had a similar scenario

hi, I had a similar situation to that earlier today, in that I got to the situation where on boot up I got the Motorola logo then nothing else (I was trying to install C.M. 11 from 10.2 but when it went to install got a message E;// error - verification signature installation aborted), after major panic thinking I'd bricked my milestone, I tried starting the phone in bootloader mode (press camera, volume up and power buttons at the same time) which gives a black screen saying boot loader 70.13 and towards the bottom says boot menu, connect USB, then on your pc find program MOTOROLA SOFTWARE UPDATER (hope you've got it) open the program, it'll say connect a device plug your phone in and let it do it's stuff, takes about an hour (charge your battery using a desktop battery charger beforehand) and your phone will be returned to the stock Motorola rom but at least your phone isn't a brick and you can always start again trying cyanogenmod.
hope this helps

So i downloaded Motorola Software Updater and RSD Lite + Motorola Device Manager newest Version
Unfortunately my Milestone seems not to be recognized by either Software updater nor RSD Lite.
In the Device Manager S Flash OMAP3630 shows up and is recognized.
Im running Windows 8.1 x64 and on a second Computer Windows 7 x64
What tool can i use ander Linux? Maybe the Phone will be recognized there.
EDIT:
K found it. Doing it with Linux at the Moment. Its working.
Only need to Root it then and after that flash my old Files and hope they are working.
At least i have an old Backup i made from Tezet before going up to 10.2 which i made with Clockworkmod
Hope it will work and not be broken like the one i made with Team Win Recovery.
Anyone knows how i can change stuff in a Team Win Backup?

I did find it took a long time for the Motorola software updater (about 20 mins) to detect my milestone 2 (I'm using windows7 x64), I'm thinking the mistake I made when trying to upgrade to CM 11 was I didn't wipe data/cache before trying to install it

Hi mark,
well Windows popped up saying N/A
when it should show new Software.
It also couldnt recognize my Cellphone correctly it seemed.
But i flashed it with Linux anyways.
Flashing to tezet`s 10 worked also like a charm
and i could install my Backup i made in december before
updating to czechops 10.2.
Guess after i know what to do now i will try to update to cm11 now.

let us know how you get on as I'm tempted to try again (I do like how CM10 gets rid of all the un-necessary apps but gives you control of all the system parameters) but want to step up to CM11 without having the same problem as before.
