Soft Brick - One (M8) General

Please can someone tell me how to soft brick/brick my M8. It's for good reason, albeit an odd request.

Flash a Samsung ROM
Sent from my HTC One M8

Flashing a Samsung rom will do more than soft brick a device. First it shouldn't let you install but if it does it could cause damage eg partitions etc
I gave closed this thread. With out knowing more detail as to why you would want to brick a phone..

Go into bootloader mode (power+voldown and plug in the usb) wait till the driver is installed and then execute the downloaded file in the first post.

Yes , it should be on the phone .
only pre production/Demo phones can have a older/other version of this rom
but still this is interesting when there is a Hspl we can flash TMOUS on a O2 branded phone or stock HTC on a TMOUS
and yes I think that I know way you asked it , there are people that use this ruu to update there DEMO phone , the problem is that not all demo phones are stolen and xda isn't a police department.
but ofcourse it is better for people to return there DEMO phone and get a new one .

actually, I was asking because I am trying to figure out why people are all trying to flash their brand new phones that have a brand new OS on them...
I really don't care where people got their phones.
and just for reference I have the same radio but a higher firmware apparently: 1.20.015.31
Well for me I flashed it because it was freezing like crazy on me and maybe it was a bad flash that was causing it but it wasn't.
flash
sorry for my question but what its necesary for flash new rom in my htc hd7 t-mobile?

No one said is necessary.
The Matrix has you!
I'm so stupid
thinking the same as buru898 I reflashed my HD7 but with less luck. I got this error
FILES CORRUPTED
All of the files for your start screen have been corrupted. the only way to fix this is to reset your phone to factory settings.
etc etc etc.
when I reset the phone to factory settings, got the same result "Files Corrupted"
Any Ideas?

what if you cant turn on phone anymore and it wont charge
Roms are here.
If it doesn't start at all: warranty (they won't be able to tell anything about flash and even if they are, you just say I didn't do anything to it and stick to your story - they'll have to prove it and that's very unlikely it will happen).

Brick I9000

Hey guys, I need some helps of you.
I need get a brick in my Galasy S for make a change whit the adicional warranty. I bought a few years ago my Galaxy with an additional warranty, this warranty says if a have some problem in my phone after 1 year I can change my phone for a new one. But my phone work good and never I had a problem.
So how can I get a brick?
I thought flash a Rom in ODIN with the LagFix activated but I'll have a good result? or Flash a Rom for the Galaxy S2 in a Galaxy S?
Or what do you think?
PS: Sorry if my english is bad.
Hey
Ask this in the Q&A section..some there can help u out..
Sent from my GT-I9000
Well it's very simple, flash with odin an old stock ROM for your region. Than try to update with Samsung Kies, but when is like 50% or something umplug the wire => soft brick or even brick or like you said flash a S2 ROM or flash something on partitions below 8 => 100% brick
Can't you just destroy it?

I don't think i9000 is brickable

Hahaha Yes I think the same.
Any way to damage the internal memory? Or any way to try get the error Failed to mount /data?
I try to make a format sdcard and remove the battery to stop the process but I can't damage.
Are you retarded? Warranty is meant for people with real problems, so why do you want to brick it if it's working great!? I simply don't get it, that topic is just PLAIN stupid.
Keep your i9000 and be thankful that you got such a great phone. If you have bad luck, Samsung will send you an i9001 which is hardly supported by XDA.
I think he wants a new phone free

If your phone is working perfectly and you're intentionally hard bricking it to exchange for a new one, then I hope you brick your phone and something goes wrong with the exchange and you are left with a brick.
Flash a s2 rom that has 4 files(pit,pda,phonr,csc) tick re partition.
Definetly hard brick.My friend dud that accidently then bummm!

Closed, insurance fraud is not a good idea, and discussion of it is not something we want on XDA.

No progress yet if any one that have done flashing any rom on this device kindly help us to do so too.
Lets keep it updated here if any thing lollipop happens
No luck
I have this phone since last September and really regret that I bought it. Even though it looks like and feels like a normal 9505 or 9500 model, due to its specifications you can not use any custom rom of more common variants. (No Cyanogen, No Miui, No any other well known custom rom). Do not even try flashing 9505 or 9500 roms, I managed to soft brick my phone already with them.
There is almost zero support for this product in forums or if there is any it is in Korean language. The only custom rom I came across is TeamLeader rom, which is a cleaner stock rom practically, getting rid of Samsung's bloatware, but nothing special, same user experience.
IIRC the SHV-E300 is the Galaxy S4 LTE-A and more or less the same device as the ks01lte. So take a look in the i9506 section, there you will find some custom ROMs for your phone, some already LP-based.
I recommend arters 97's CM12, he is doing a great job on this phone.

I am feeling the same regret my friend i dont think this phone is going to get an official Lollipop update either
why do they make so much devices they can't give support to, or some phones are just labs rats experiments
And yeah thanks for the info, i m not going to flash any other Rom.... yet but i m getting really frustrated :silly:

Have you seen this thread? The official Lollipop-ROM for S4 LTE-A has begun to roll out, did you check if it works with your SHV-E300L?

yeah man i know that and SHV-e300l and i9506 have some notable differences like the chips (Exynos and Qualcomm) it would definetly brick my device
don't install any custom rom for now if you want everything in working order.
and If u want to upgrade to lollipop, just download firmware of another s4 with same configuration from sammobile.com
I think yours is Korean and it will not get 5.0
OK Guys I don't know if any body knows this already but i have found a ROM for SHV-E300L here:

First of all, lets get something straight. Most people use the term "bricked" improperly. A bricked phone means one thing: your phone won't turn on in any way, shape or form, and there's nothing you can do to fix it. It is, for all intents and purposes, as useful as a brick. A phone stuck in a boot loop is not bricked, nor is a phone that boots straight into recovery mode. These are things you can usually fix, and they're a lot more common than a truly bricked phone. If your phone is actually bricked, you won't be able to fix it yourself (but there are things you can do
If Your Phone Is Truly Bricked: Take It Into the Store and Play Dumb
If your phone is actually bricked—that is, it won't turn on at all, no matter how hard you try—it's time to give up and move on. The first thing you can do in this situation is try to take it back to your carrier's store and play dumb—just say something like "I don't know what happened, but my phone won't turn on anymore" (don't tell them you rooted it, obviously). Most carriers don't have time to deal with such issues and they'll just give you a new phone. Sure, it's a tad evil, but it should work most of the time

I would try a factory reset first. If that doesn't work, unlock the bootloader, wipe the phone and flash the latest full Google ROM using flash-all.bat. There is a guide in the General Forum on how to do just that. This is going to tell you whether your phone is damaged or not. A custom ROM won't help a hardware issue.
