Not a brick if you can fix it ;D
People picked on me for that when I wrote my guide, LOL.
Its called a soft brick(software crash)

I am sure I need method #3. My phone is totally dead.
Where can I take my phone go get this repair method done?
I bricked my phone. Fully bricked, no 3button or anything. screen blank no matter what i did etc etc
took it to optus (it was rooted so out of warranty apparently, but they weren't to know that) and said it just wouldn't turn on. They didn't even ask how it happened (had planned to say tried to update it with kies and it just wouldn't turn on) anyways they were just like 'hmmm yeah... not turning on, that's manufacturers problem. We'll send it to them and they'll have a look. Sign this and this and this.'
less than a week later i got a call from them and had my phone back working like nothing happened. All apps and data still there.
easy
A phone is bricked by you and it is totally your fault.in most cases the manufacturers wont take responsibility.your only hope then is sites like these.

If you're a guy who knows what he's doing then why bring back a topic that's been dead over a year with no useful info to add?

My Magic has stucked at "HTC MAGIC" logo ,no access to fastboot or whatever. I live in cyprus. I've sent it to different people that where "experts" to bring it back to "life" but nothing. Someone told me that he tried jtag method but nothing happened too. He told me that propably there is something wrong with mainboard and it has to be changed. Is that possible? Or they are fooling me around? Anw, as i said before i live in cyprus so i don't know if there is someone who can make this phone work again. Can you suggest someone abroad? To be more specific someone in London (London centre). I have friends there they wouldnt bother doing that small favour to me.
Thanks in advance
I had same problem and tried one London repairer(others were too expensive unfortunately) who gave it back to me as not repairable - totally wasting my time because I don't think they even had a riff box. I then sent it off to Fonefun and they have restored it, but due to the imcompetence of local post I'm still waiting to get it back after it being sent back last Thurday!!
I can report back properly once its in my hands, but I do think they are worth a look at (just google fonefun). You can chat to them online which could be useful as you're not in the UK.
update: got phone back and it works. Royal mail are funny though, not.
thanks for ur reply, i've sent it last week so i'm waiting. hp it works!
Glad to be of help. I hope they succeed with yours like they did with mine.
They certainly know what they are doing, however I don't think cleaniness is exactly one of their top priorities, mind you my shiny brick did become a dirty working magic so I'm happy.
It'd be interesting to know how you get on.
They are the best! They fix it and sent ot back to me in three days time! (Cyprus mail sucks btw! It took them almost 10 days to put my package on a flight! ) As u can see magic is still alive! Thanks again for ur help!

Excellent news - glad it worked out ok for you! I found communication to be one of Fonefun's strongpoints, as for postage, unfortunately for both of us that one is out of their control!
I have found a i9000. I have tried to find the owner but cant as it has a pettern lock. I took it to the copshop and they gave me it back a fortnight later as no one went to claim it. As i would like to use the phone how would i remove the pattern lock. Without having to sit for days tryin to guess lol

Take it to an outlet for whatever the network it is connected to. It will say at top right of lock screen and on the sim of course.
It has no sim card so i couldnt tell which network it is on. It is unlocked because its open to any sim. Iv tried different sims and they show the provider in the corner

just root the phone/update firmware on it, which should allow you to factory reset it.
factory reset, through recovery will get rid of the lock pattern.
edit: I believe you don't need to flash anything. Power on device holding the Volume Up + Home + Power button
Thanks guys ill give it a try

Not so sure about that. If it is reported lost or stolen then the IMEI will be blocked and all that it will be useful for is a MP3 player. Hence my advice to go to a network shop. Any one will help and check the phone is not blocked.

you're right. that's why this is the right place, because of advices like yours
I feel sorry for the owner that lost the phone, and did not report the IMEI as being lost or stolen...
that'll be my very 2nd phone call if i lose my phone
the 1st phone call will be used to located the lost phone
Flash a new ROM But you can give it a factory reset (hold VOL UP + HOME + POWER buttons for a few seconds)

I would find a SGS too
it's weird how many people "Find" SGS lately...
Honestly, on an etiquette POV, I wouldn't help anyone who "found" an SGS to unlock it... But rather help him find the owner.
thats what i was thinking...glad its not mine
I have spent nearly three weeks trying to find the owner. i handed it in to the police station but got it back two weeks later because it didnt get claimed. Which you would know if you read the earlier posts in the thread. If i lost my phone i would check the police to see if it had been handed in like most ppl who are bothered bout there phone. What does that tell you?

Kay so i have a problem with my Nexus 6P
Let me tell you the story
Since the update from 6.0.1
I had battery problems like the most of the people..
So i decided to make a backup on my google account and reset it. I was dumb, and lazy and i just entered some random things in registering email etc like [email protected]om
Then it wasnt fixed. But i wanted to go back to my old account, so i resetted it again.
This time he askes me this: his device was reset. To continue, sign in with a Google Account that was previously synced on this device.
I dont know the account anymore, so i'm probably ****ed. I tried my setup account i've used when i configured it. I did make a call to google, but due connection problems i couldnt understand what he was saying lol..
He sayed that this can be fixed in 72h ( dafuq so long without my phone i'll die )But there is also a chance it wouldnt. So he said if that doesnt solve it i need to go back to the shop where i buyed it. I have proof of purchase etc. I just dont want to leave my phone for 4weeks alone lol.. Im pretty addicted to this..
I'll just use my OnePlus One tho..
Anyone that had this in the past? I need some serious help.. I've ****ed it up probably..

I am not sure if I am understanding what happened exactly....
Why exactly did you set your phone up with a google account that you don't know the password to? Why would the account you are logged into the phone with change any issues with the phone?
I apologize in advance, but, I am always a little weary of someone just asking for help unlocking a phone.
I would be willing to help, but I need a little more insight and exact details on how you got into this predicament.
Again, no offense meant, this just looks funny to me.

Your post makes no sense. There are no battery problems with this phone, and there is no way to sign into a Google account unless you have the password for it. Do not tinker with your phone unless you know what you're doing.

who registers a bogus account to their phone?
I know XDA'ers do a lot of dumb things sometimes, but even this makes absolutely no sense. I smell dried cod.
Hey guys, I'm (somewhat) new!
I'm going to buy a Nexus 9P used today from a guy I don't know. The phone is supposedly in as new condition and the first thing I plan to do with it is a reset, then logging using my regular account.
Will I risk ending up in the same situation as the OP? What is the security process for Android account? Why would it lock me out if the phone has not been flagged as stolen? I've never bought an Android phone used before, especially with Marshmallow encrypting the FS I'm starting to worry!
Thanks to whoever can tell me if I risk running into problems and how to avoid them!
have him turn it on in front of you and make sure the phone boots up into android
play with it a bit.. look for cracks, etc. if youre forking over that kind of cash, you do a fairly thorough inspection.
Yeah thanks, I'll inspect it closely. Thing is, I'll not be able to put in my SIM immediately, (upgrading from a One M7, I have a micro SIM when the 6P requires a nano) so I'll be without Internet connection when I make the purchase decision. Is there a risk from the software security point of view?

shouldnt be... just ask him to leave his SIM in until you test the phone.
If he starts acting squeemish, or makes excuses for simple requests, I wouldnt touch the phone
Thanks everyone for the replies tho.
I dont understand why i did it.. But i needed to go, and i wanted to use my phone. So i maked a fast new account. Is there any chance that it will be unlocked tomorrow (72H will ben passed on friday) I dont know im truly new with this kind of security.
I had expierence with rooting, unlocking bootloader. But i dont want to risk this on my 6P since i can say byebye to warranty then. And this still is under warranty (i think so). I just dont want to wait 4weeks since it needs to be sended to Huawei and not to Google. It will take ages till i have my phone back.. Atleast if i'm lucky i can use my phone tomorrow. Anyone knows if i can use it tomorrow again?
This was a stupid move. ideed.. I'm feeling me bad due this lol
Everything seems to be working fine. I had the guy use his data connection to check out of his Google account and let me check in with mine. After that I did a factory reset and now I'm updating and installing apps.
Thanks for the help and sorry I have derailed the thread. I'm the (so far) happy owner of a Nexus 6P. Heading to the rooting guides next

ok, I tried. If you don't know your google password and can't recover it using "forgot my password" then its not your phone, if you were actually experienced in rooting and flashing then you would have solved this problem already. Sorry but a moderator needs to shut this thread down please.
If some how I have mistaken this I am sorry but you contradict yourself and make claims that are obviously not true based on the sentences that follow the statements your making. If it really is your phone then take your proof of purchase and walk in to any cellphone repair store.

No worries, this thread needed derailed! I recommend Heisenberg's guide (found on xda) and the Nexus Root Toolkit (NRT) by WugFresh (I believe also has a thread in development now) for the driver check process, it will make sure you have no conflicting drivers installed. Have fun!

Wtf is this for a forum even.. You can think it can be stolen, but i can get every proof on the table its mine. It looks not very truthfull. But all i ask is for a little bit of help. I've worked hard for this phone, since i do only a vacation job. You can think what you want, if you believe me or not. But i need help. And yeah, i know that it will probably fixed with flashing a new rom because this isnt caused by a hardware unit. I just dont wanna risk my warranty and not this time, becaus if i **** it up i can say byebye to this great phone.
Anyways thanks you'd tried to help.. But it makes no sense that you think this is stolen. As i said, i'll do that. But i dont want to lose my phone 4 weeks. Maybe in your country you have some nerd asses that fixes phones. But me and my friends have bad experience with them. They ****ed up some of my friends phones, and just said it wasnt her fault. Closed, they couldnt do anything with their phones. I tought you guys could tell me more about that 3-day limit. But you actually dont know what you are saying. You are just joking yourself this one is stolen. And so what? If its stolen would that forces you to not help people? I can show you everything this one is not stolen.
Anyways somebody that can help me, and answer my question?

Again, password recovery through google. How many times should I type it? There is also a username recovery option. You seriously gonna sit here and tell me that you can't answer any of the details about your account via any of the recovery options!?!?
No, I am not sorry. Why would you care about your warranty if you can't survive 72 hours without your phone!?!?
Nothing your saying makes sense at all. I am done responding to you, think what you want but after 10.5 in the private sector as a PMC (private military contractor), you are full of it.
I hope that no one on this forum helps this guy get into someone else's account, if they have android pay then this guy gets their credit card info, this could really screw someone over.
Google has in place proven and effective ways to get your username and password back if its really your account.

But that doesnt give you the right to say it is stolen. If i worked even harder for it then you will ever do in your life. Grow up kid, you're just here to make some fun, i'm looking for some guys that are here to help people. If you cant help people then just leave.

First off nobody said its stolen secondly I have never seen google ask for the last account used when setting up a phone. It asks for the Google you intend to use for the phone. Honestly from what it sounds like since you didn't properly setup the google account you most likely will have to make a new one or call google and set on the phone with them until they can locate and figure the password but if you cannot provide sufficient information about the account they will not help you. Hopefully this will help and just so you know we cannot see or use any link you put up due to limitations per xda rules

I have, when I borked my friends phone I used Wugs toolkit to just reflash everything and then it asks what the ladt account was. Basically a security check from google for people who like to steal phones and just fastboot them. Makes complete sense and I love it. Makes for funny moments when people forget passwords.
But none of this adds up. HOW on gods green earth have you "unlocked phones" before but mysteriously don't have a previous google account. Hmm...
Nope, none of this adds up at all...this is all wrong.

Thanks for replying. And trying to help me. If the 3-day limit is passed and nothing happened, i'll just go back to the store. Will Huawei help me as long as i have a proof of purchase (wich i have)? I'll just go then by the store where i buyed it. I hope that will work. Thats my only hope.. Anyways happy new years eve for you guys Thanks for helping me, shows they are some guys with real hearts out of here lol.

Well yes, obviously. Because if it is/was stolen why would anyone want to help you use stolen property when next time it cound be their phone that is stolen?
Also, what do you expect the shop to do for you? I dont really see why you dont just set it up with a new google account rather than keep trying to get into one you obviously wont use.
Ok, so my sister drives Uber and 3 months ago a passenger left their galaxy s10+ in her car. Yes, she tried to reach out to them, and now that its been over 90 days and noone has claimed it, she decided that she wants to gift it. Well... She went on youtube and looked up how to factory reset. Now when it powers on, it says "unauthorized attempt to reset..." So shes asked me to try to access it. Now, i haven't used a samsung phone since before Knox was integrated. I dont know how the security works or how i can bypass the google account verification. I dont even know if its possible to access and use the phone now. Im basically a noob here. Can anyone help me out?

Which model is it? If its the US model (G975U or G975U1) i dont think theres a way. If its the international model (G975F) i believe someone has accomplished bypassing protection. Dont know the exact method though.
Sent from my SM-G975U1 using XDA Labs
I can only assume that it is a US model
It sounds wildly unlikely that anyone would leave behind a $1000 phone and ignore someone's attempt to reach out and return it. And unless XDA changed its rules posting any methods to get around the lock on a phone gets you banned. Samsung customer service could likely have found the owner of the phone if there had been any sincere desire to return it to the proper owner.

Your sister is uber driver. Do you think the passenger don't have your sister's car info? I smell something fishy about your story
I appreciate the concerns as to the legalities of my question. Yall are saying the same kinds of things i did. In the end, i told her "its impossible, sorry." And I've washed my hands of it.
