Hi everybody, this what happened:
I tried to flash my atrix with Atrix 1.26 Retail SBF through RSDLite.
After that it shut down and when i try to turn it on it says :"Failed to boot 0X1000" then it shuts down again. It doesn't even give me any option.
For the record, my phone was up to date (i got that wifi only system update by att). Also, this phone is unlocked and I have no warranty with any carrier.
I hope I didn't brick it.
Please give me simple solutions if there is any. Your help will b very much appreciated.
Thank you so much.
i'll let others break down the news to you..
Sorry bud, but I believe you now have a nice set of glass upon to look at.

Can't believe people are still doing this with all the warnings in the forums.
You tried to SBF back to 4.1.26 (Froyo) on a bootloader unlocked phone. You now have a very expensive reflective beer coaster!
I think Nottach recover "failed to boot 0x1000"

This error also comes up with soft bricks which you can fix as you gave options to choose from and can recover. This guy has no options.

People are being helpful...by telling you sorry. If you need it for work, you'll probably just need to go buy a new phone ASAP. Like others have said, there are plenty of warnings and instructions on what/what not to do on your phone. Unfortunately, you missed those. Hope you can find another phone for cheap...
You have a hard brick, never try to downgrade. Nottach was able to fix his because he got a brick by upgrading, and he was lucky enough to figure it out. Downgrading on the other hand ruins your device, every time

We are helping you, by telling you that there's nothing that you can do. Your phone is hard bricked. There is absolutely no way to recover from a hard brick, period. You need to replace the phone. That is the reality, and there is no getting around it.
I was running CM9 on my Atrix when my digitizer went bad and I got a dead spot. I submitted it for warranty and before I sent it I tried to put it back to normal. I did something wrong I guess and ended up with a different boot error (didn't even give me an error code the screen was black unless I plugged it in I just got the NV flash thing). Anyways, I sent it in and the same phone came back completely working with a fixed screen. I think when they get it they hook it up with a factory cable and flash it back to stock with the SBK, which we don't even have access too. Just send it in for warranty saying it has software problems, and I can almost guarantee you it will come back working.

Possible he does with motorola. OP there is a tool on motorola website to see if its under warranty. Maybe give that a shot.
Bro do some reseatch that error message is a soft brick I believe I ran into a similar issue when I first roote it last year
Just thought I would weigh in that I received this same error code after an attempted SBF flash of zomgunlock-lite.sbf, and thought all hope was lost, but then I found this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27158667&postcount=153

Hi Guys,
I havent used this site in years but recently I bought a Galaxy S4 outright from JBHIFI.
Before you guys give me alot of crap, I have a very bad feeling that I may have hard bricked it.
It doesnt turn on anymore, not even in recovery or download mode. I am very new to android as I was using an iPhone before and couldn't resist attempting to root my phone (stock program were killing my battery)
I hadn't even had the chance to flash a custom rom on there as far as i know i just grated root access.
Funny thing is it was doing the same thing the other day. But randomly it decided to charge and turn on. Now it is definitely not charging or turning on and i have no idea what to do... it just sucks cause i havent ever this phone for a month and its already useless! :crying:
I was using it for about a week after i rooted and now im just stuck with a brick.
Any help would greatly be appreciated, feel free to ask any questions.

yeah thats what im planning to do its about exactly a month since i had it today... i just didnt want to mention anything cause i know you guys and moderaters dont condone that kind of behaviour! thanks though, im pretty much screwed arent i? ill be heading into jbhifi on my lunch break will go ahead with that plan haha.
ill tell you guys how it goes.
Have you tried a battery pull?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using xda app-developers app
sorry... is that just taking the battery out? LOL if so, yes ive tried it quite a few times.
at one stage it was turning on but only loading the splash screen... so i pulled the battery out. even if i tried to start it in recovery mode, it would only load the blue text at the top of the screen and then freeze.
i have a mate who also got an s4 so i was going to meet up with them and see if i could use their battery because it seems the phone has even lost its capability to charge.

No, you don't have to be in download mode. Install right driver, connect your phone to pc and run the program. Then it will be in download mode, so flash firmware with pit file
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
well so far... i tried this at work and no luck, so i went home and tried it there... still no luck.
you mentioned i need to install the right driver? is that the QHSUSB drivers? (where can i find them and are they specific for the S4) anyway when i plug my phone into the computer there is no indication that it is being detected at all.
just hoping to try out more suggested solutions before i attempt to take it back into the store and have em tell me that my warranty is cooked
Hi just an update.
Took my phone to samsung because it was just completely screwed. They replaced the motherboard and camera but didnt find out that my phone was rooted which was good.
Thanks for your help everyone
*edit*
After they said they replaced my camera i am now getting the "camera app failed" message, wheres theres a black screen and the app doesnt work... ive had it with this phone now... going to walk into samsung and lose my ****.

Don't bash the phone for nothing ...
Somehow I doubt that they didn't test the camera after replacing it.
Next time, take it easy, and what ever you do, read carefully the instructions.

My galaxy S4 is "hard bricked" as well after trying to flash OMEGA ROM onto the device. My guess is that somebody mislabeled the ROM and it was intended for the octal-core processors and not the US quad-core ones.
Does anyone have a link for the qualcomm drivers that are needed? I'm at a loss currently in regards of which direction to take.
Thanks in advance,

i know... its just frustrating... i pretty much got it when it came out and convinced all my mates that it was the best phone out there at the moment (all the features are pretty nifty and its powerful ill admit)
funny thing was the camera was working perfectly before i took it in and didnt even think it needed replacing. the camera worked when i got it back the first time i opened the app but it had smearing (pink vertical lines on bright objects). after that it the app didnt open again and just has the "camera app failed" error.
as for the hardbrick guys i think the qualcomm drivers work but only if you can get your phone to turn on or enter d/l mode. mine was so fried out that it wouldnt show any signs of life even after getting the drivers.

This was also samersh72's suggestion when i bricked mine. Problem is, there was no way for me to acces that qhusb mode thing as the phone was totally dead and doesn't even charge.
Jtag could probably revive it though.
Anyway, sent mine for repairs with
custom binary status and the samsung guys accepted it as there was no way for them to revive the phone(the motherboard was replaced). They didn't found out that it was modified.

Umm not sure if it can be done without, you could try and if no good you'd have to use one.
Get yourself an sd card. You can't access internal memory so you are screwed until you get one...
You need to also tell us what version of Android you are on as the can be a deciding factor in what you need to do... Some things that will fix one version of android won't help the next... If you don't know what this means you should do A LOT of reading before trying this stuff again, read about Kitkat and Jellybean...

I rooted my Galaxy s Advanced already with a noob guide, so i fould it would be easy to do it again.
Guys, im verry frustrated now, im a real noob who fold he could do this easily, without thinking or reading anything i tried to flash my demo unit.
Now i have a huge problem because this phone is not mine.
Anyone who has a solution, the thing earlier pronounced in this topic didnt help.
Get yourself a stock rom and flash it using ODIN and stock recovery might do the trick but make SURE you flash the CORRECT ROM.
Correct rom depends on what you had running. If you where running kitkat you MUST flash kitkat again. If you had 4.3 you better stick to that until it's up and running again.

Ahh, not you did not mention you had a DEMO unit. That changes everything.. As DEMO unit's don't have radio's in them so you cannot flash a modem from what I am aware..

Help! I tried to upgrade to lollipop 5.1 based on a youtube (no links allowed) video through TWRP. After the "Success!" message it prompt me to to press NO or OK, so I touched OK exactly like it said in the video. After this, my screen turned black and it wouldn't boot again. I tried everything! Putting the battery out and in place again, pressing vol. up, start and menu button. Nothing. Vol. down, start and menu, still nothing. I tried to do the same three buttons thing with my phone plugged in and the ODIN program running on my PC. A Glorious Nothing! Keep in mind that my battery was about 50% charged at the time. So, what did I miss?
Please help me! Is my Cellphone bricked for good?

May be that rom wasn't compatible with neo. I think you have bricked your mobile. Search on google or xda forum "how to un brick s3 neo". And after neo should mention your model number.

Well, I'm pretty sure I used the right rom for my i9301 model. I checked the descriptions carefully. I googled for an answer and it says that I need to have specific tools or a micro usb with less pins or an island in Aigaion Pelagos. I don't know... It's way too difficult for me. I guess that's what you end up with, if you play with fire. Another brick in the wall... But, thank you anyway! Any other suggestions are welcome. I just can't afford a new mobile (How does an old T310 Sony Ericsson sound? Perfect battery life for starters!).

The truth is I am not exactly sure if I use the right files! I have the i9301 version that originally came with 4.4.2 kitkat installed. I use Vodafon Gr as a provider (but the phone is from Romania). So, I used this file

Sooo, I tried every step on the guide, realllly carefully, but NO for me.
I bought a 16 GB 10 class Transcent SD card, formatted it with Panasonic SD formatter (tried with the windows genuine formatter too), tried both FAT32 and NTFS method. Next, I wrote the debrick (128 MB) image (dnld from the link especially for i9301). So, ejected it, put it in the sd card slot, placed the battery and did the three button trick (down vol, power, menu). Pitch black! Tried it many times with no results. What do I do wrong? Everybody else manages to fix it in the end, but I can't. Maybe the problem with mine is something else! But I explained in the first post how it all started. Now I am lost in space!
Is my phone Hard Bricked? Fully Dead? Maybe the guide you posted was for Soft Bricked phones. What did the pal meant to say with this?
"But first please make sure that its Hard Barick (fully dead mean not turning on or nothing works except when u connect to pc it will show qualcomm)"

Guess what! It worked in the morning! So, the mobile needs a nice sleep too! So, everything is okay now. Though, my initial purpose was to install Lollipop 5.1.1 (after rooting, of course) and I was bricked in the middle of the operation.
Now, given that I 'm an insistent, dumb headed POI, I would like to try again, the right way. I would use the same guide, but I don't know what went wrong in the first place. I guess, I 'd have to repeat the same procedure again, if something went wrong but, I don't know... I know that I 'd have probably tired you but, could you propose a method to do so?
Lastly, I want to thank you from the depths of my heart for your patience and your guidance through these days. You 've been truly helpful! :good:

Oh, are you saying that your mobile is alive now? And please don't mention that "help" thing. We are here to help each other. Once i was a new also and i learned so many things here. So, i am just sharing what i have gained from here.
Some times it happens, a little mistake could lead you to a big sorrow. If your mobile is alive now , i am happy for you. And if it is not then i am suggesting you to take it to any repairing shop. May be they can do something about it. And if you still don't get results then keep it with you, it's hardware wouldn't be a waste.
So, I'm at a total and complete loss as to what to do. I have spent hours upon hours googling, and searching xda and trying step after step after guide after guide and I canNOT fix my S5! I've tried recovery, I've tried Odin and there has got to be something I'm missing. When I plug up the phone into my laptop, it sort of recognizes it, in the sense that it makes the notification noise of it being recognized, as with any external device. Odin picks it up as well. The issue is when trying to boot up the phone, it's stuck on the Samsung Galaxy S5 custom, android etc screen. it will not go past this. i'm almost in tears right now, and just want to get the phone working again. Is there anyone out there that can help???
Tiny update.
So I tried another method, and still having issues. Only difference is, I get past the powered by android screen, but then when getting to the Samsung with the color and oval it freezes and shuts down. One step forward, 2 steps back.

it is the 900a (at&t). after spending hours upon hours. i finally managed to do something and get it back to working again. the band and the firm ware match, and i managed to get rid of the unauthorized actions detected message.
good to hear!! (or see, rather LoL) usually a flash in Odin with the correct tarball fixes most issues with S5's

well, let's just say i have a folder of 26 links, majority from here on trying to find a solution on how to root and consequently unbrick my phone when I messed it up. that's probably not even all of them. I only posted on one asking a question, but it was about upgrading the firmware (still waiting on a reply on that, lol). so I have no clue which post it was that was finally successful in restoring my phone.
