Bricked or just wrong SBF - Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I had flashed the [JB+] CM10.2 Android 4.3 for the Defy(+) many months back and its been working fine. Yesterday I left my phone go to 0% charge after which it wasnt booting so I tried everything but it was always in loops. So I finally decided to flash the stock SBF DEFYPLUS_U3_4.5.1-134_DFP-1321, but after flashing was over the phone stayed blank no matter what but the RSD was still detecting my phone so I flashed the same sbf again and now even RSD doesnt detect my phone and Vol up + Power doesnt work. Right now except for the White LED when I connect the USB nothing else works.

Probbably your battery is discharged.
Charge it with external charger or try this (pictures)

[Q] Bricked Tab?

Verizon Tab here.
Finally decided to try installing KhasMek's K-leanMod v2 rom.
I started by installing the bootstrap app from the market as per the instructions. The app rebooted the tab. It backed up everything. It said everything was successfull. After that I rebooted in download mode (power +volume down mode)
I then flashed the rom I downloaded from the thread. When I rebooted it just stuck on the samsung logo. I let it sit for 20 minutes and nothing happened. I decided to try to reflash to see if that would work but now I can't get back into download mode. Interestingly I can get into download mode when it is plugged into the wall, but when its connected to the computer it does not work...
Any suggestions?
Thanks
EDIT: It finally decided to connect to the computer and I flashed the CWM, did a factory reset and then flashed the custom rom and it started working again. I think it might have been due to low battery (it was at 3% when it finally came to)? Anyways just glad I dont have an expensive paperweight.
Just discovered a new problem...
When I have the tab plugged into the wall, it wont turn on. It just sits frozen at the battery charge screen. When I unplug it and power it on all is well.
Any idea what that could be?

Bricked Phone Help!

Help!
I've had CM7 on my phone for some time now
I left my phone in my room when I went out, I noticed when I got back it had ran out of battery and kept booting, running out of battery, and restarting. I put it on charge and it was running and charging ok, but accidentally pulled the power wire out and it died again.
I've tried restarting the phone since then and it just boots to a blank screen, I've tried booting to recovery, fastboot and normal powering on, all of these just boot to the blank screen and does nothing
Please help with any suggestions!

Gee. try connecting your phone to your pc then see if your pc reads your phone. If it does then you could try installing stock ruu from your pc to the phone.

Nexus 4 - Red LED and Charging icon

So, I updated my N4 to 4.3 a couple of days ago. Also rooted.
I figured I should flash franco.kernel again, so I flashed the latest nightly (r165) via the franko.updater app. This resulted in a bootloop with Google logo.
Then I restarted to Recovery and flashed stock kernel again, through WugFresh.
Now my phone is dead. When I try to turn it on, the front LED is constant red. Not blinking. When I release the power button, the charging icon appears on the screen. I have tried all buttons... Pwr+VolDn, Pwr alone. Pwr+VolUp. Pwr+VolUp+VolDn.
Battery was charged overnight, and unplugget about 2 hours ago.
Does anyone have any idea as to how I can get in to recovery again?
EDIT: Unplugged and got back to bootloop. I'll try to backup everything and install a fresh copy of 4.3.

[Q] Unbricking- charging or not?

Ok, so I recently got a problem that I've never had before, A rom installation went through fully on TWRP manager but when booting the rom, I get boot errors. I can go into download mode and thus fix the phone however, If I hold the power and vol lower button then it just restarts and has the same error then followed by a blank black screen. The issue is, I don't know if it charges in this mode or not when plugged in, I only had 50% battery life when the rom failed and I don't want the flashing of a stock tot file to fail leading to a solid hard brick. Any ideas?
Thanks.

it does charge just like when plugged in mtp mode but it charges at a slower rate so you can try leaving it plugged in for a while(or plug into wall charger for at least an hour and then attempting the flash back to stock

faulty motherboard or faulty battery ?

Hi, i have i tilapia 32 gb with latest bootloader and i used it during the last 2 year with a slimkat rom.
Now almost everytime it won't turn on normally. The screen is black ,i can't get into recovery or bootloader and charging the battery does nothing.
If i connect it to a pc ,first it shows apx mode on device manager, then if keep pushing the power button many times sometimes it starts and i can access to bootloader and recovery.
I wiped everything,flashed twrp again,tried other roms but almost everytime it won't turn on normally even if the battery is fully charged.
Do you think it is 100% a motherboard problem?
Is there some chance that replacing the old battery(i never changed the original one) will solve this problem? thanks
Most likely storage finaly died so you are out of luck
