[Q] Brick phone maybe? help me out

So I got a htc mytouch 4g And it has that phone icon with a triangle and exclamtion mark. I dont know anything about this phone since I have a att captivate From what I read is that if you have recovery you might be able to do it.
Also when I plug in the usb I go into recover and I Get a fasboot screen and other sorts of menus i have put a pd15img.zip in my external sd card and it loads installs It I guess but still boots into the same Icon.
from what I also read is that you can fix this by loading a stock rom pushing into your sdcard via adb but make sure is name update.zip but when I do that I get Invalid Operation.
when in recovery I have this message E:cant't open /cache/recovery/command also phone boots right into that icon.

I assume this is a soft brick since I get into recover and the other fasboot menu when I plug in USB any help is appreciated
This is my first time with a phone like this so I'm doing what I would normaly do with a captivate ish

I answered in your other thread here. However, now that you've posted a screenshot, I see that the phone isn't even rooted. I have no idea how you get into a custom recovery without root.

I connect usb while the phoneis off and then press volume up + power and that appears.

Yeah, see where it says "S-ON"? That means the phone isn't rooted. You need to perm root and it install CWM recovery, but with those cache errors you're getting, I'm not sure there's any point since those usually indicate a failed eMMC.

Guess my options are
1. call t-mobile and tell them what happen maybe they will replace it but I didnt buy it with contract I'm att and was going to ask my friend to get me unlock code, But idk if its possible I drop it and theres a crack on the phone
2. sell it for parts...
>.< money down the drain I guess fuggin phone

You're booting into stock recovery by default, that's the "triange". That might happen if you have a VolumeDown key/trackpad stuck.
The error in the recovery is natural - stock recovery expects a command when booted into, but finds nothing.
Check that you're indeed installing a correct PD15IMG that contains a complete system image, and if you are and it still doesn't help - try to shake the phone on the side / upside down, to try and release the possibly stuck buttons. If it doesn't help - the phone needs warranty repair. T-Mobile or HTC directly, your choice. To send it to HTC, you pay the shipping. But in any case it's under warranty, unless it has water damage or something.

download this go into fastboot/bootloader then run the ruu and flash, if after this u still get to recovery than its something else.

That appears to be the Gingerbread leak from the Canadian HTC Panache, but you might want to describe to the OP what exactly it is. Most people won't blindly flash something to their phone without a little info first. Also, could that be flashed to a non-rooted device?

yes thats the official RUU of panache which is glacier inside.
yes u can flash as its RUU.exe u dont need root.
u can even comeback to official mytouch RUU.zip using this exe later if wanted.
because its exe it will reflash everything boot, recovery, splash, radio every thing, thus fixing any problem thats not hardware.

i used this as noted but I get this error
Customer ID error (131) I read on these forums is has something todo with a goldcard?
Edit-
I manage to load a stock rom into a External sd card. it updated it everything pass exept step 8 it skip it and the said finish updateing press power to reboot. Rebooted but the whole (second) mytouch splash was going for a long time. I try to use the RUU.exe and it wont boot into bootloatder just boots and stays on the splash screen.
this is what I get now and is stuck on That screen updating radio

Damn.
That would be the first completely stock Mytouch4G in the forum that has a failed eMMC chip.
Yes, it's bricked, you need to exchange it.
But it's also a good proof that gfree has nothing to do with failed eMMC, extra write cycles of flashing ROMs most probably just speed up the destruction process.

you got one large scratch on screen, how good have you kept your phone? have you droped it badly once or twice?
when you used the RUU.exe when did u get that error, does it go upto where it showed you the rom version?
if u got there than you can try one more time but this time with official mytouch RUU.zip. i'll tell you how to do that, later if u got upto that part.

edit nevermind my post cameback above this

If it shows "Fail-PU" in bootloader - then the eMMC isn't functional anymore. No flashing will help him in this case, only warranty repair.

hmm too bad, feel sorry for him

[Defy+] Incredible hard Bricked

I have a Defy+ (MB526). I did the mistake of updating a kernel(w w w.defy-cm.net/defy_plus-cm9-nightly/CM9-ICS-MR0-111207-jordan-KERNEL-2.3.4-Quarx.zip) and the device died. Only black screen is being showed, and if I put the USB cable, it's able to communicate and do flash with RSD Lite. So I can flash rooms.
I've tried to flash all the Retail rooms from here: sbf.droid-developers.org/umts_jordanplus/list.php
No Room is able to get my phone back. I can't enter on bootloader too. I don't know what can I do to recover the firmware.
How can I discover what CG version is my phone if it only shows a black screen?
Is there some kind of bootloader.sbf to flash to the phone?
The model is the MB256, Type MWQ7 - 334411A11.
Anyone has this model and faced this problem?
I'm afraid that I've lost my phone =[

Defy+ can never work on normal Defy kernel with lower version CGXX.smg files.
I think what you need is do full flash back to your Defy+ sbf via RSD4.9.
Please check HERE for details and work around to revive your phone.
All the best..

First of all, thanks for helping me.
I tried all Retail Roms available on that page. All RSD lite gave me "PASS" at the end, and while updating the phone shows "SW update." But I'm not sure if this message is done by RSD or if the phone is really being updated, because I did not entered on bootloader mode (power + volume Down) because it's not working.
Do you think I'm really doing the flash as it must be or do I need to do MacGyver method as people described on this page at item 2.2?
If I have battery fully charged don't make sense doing this MacGyver method right?
To do a Full SBF flash, does I need to mark the "TI Blank flash" option at RSD lite?

What SBFs did you use?
You're stuck in black screen problem, you can boot into Bootloader mode for sure (as you're flashing SBFs) the screen just didn't show anything. (and it's power + volume up)
Not sure if your battery still have some juice left, you can't charge it through bricked phone, you may need an external wall charger.
Bootloader won't let you flash a rom if your batt are low.
For now you should go for DFP-231 builds that suit your region, to ensure you have the latest Bootloader v.7.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1495099
And your phone should return to normal, no black screen anymore.
If it stuck at logo, don't forget to try Stock recovery> wipe data/wipe cache.

I used on the video the Retail Chinese SBF from here: http://sbf.droid-developers.org/umts_jordanplus/list.php
And I also used ALL THE RETAIL versions of the page.

Any screenshot of RSDlite after flashing?
It may help us determine the problem.

Another point, at the end of flashing the last dbf file, my battery was in 78%. I have a friend's Defy I use to charge it.

A dumb question. Do I need to remove the SD card before flashing?

Not needed but to be sure, try remove it and flash again.
Ok, so Batt low is no problem anymore.
RSDlite recognize your phone even you didn't press anything, I guess your phone now booted to Bootloader mode by default so that's why.
I don't really know how to fix it anymore, look like it's too complicated for common flashing will help...sorry for not able to help you much.

Thanks for helping. I hope I'm doing the correct process, had you seen both videos?
I tried now without SD card... no way... same result.

Another point. O don't think the MacGyver method will help me, right? Because Battery is ok... the message "SW update" on the screen I think is made by phone and not by RSD Lite....

No one passed by the same problem as me?

I think i broke my Redmi

I bought my first redmi ever that is used phone and the previous owner said "its stuck on Mi logo after updating SU"
I tested the device first with these conditions
1. plugged to charger and its charge properly (led is on)
2. cannot go to recovery or power on (had to use deep flash cable to get into fastboot)
3. used deep flash cable, Quacomm shown and installed properly
4. Flashed the image. its says success but i accidentaly look at most bottom window. its says "flash_all_lock.bat"
5. unplugged the cable tried to turn on, it doesnt work
help me .. did i miss something here?
EDIT:
1. plugged to laptop, it says usb malfunctioned unlike before
2 is it normal if i get into fastboot using deep flash the screen show nothing?

1. Deep flash cable is to open the edl mode (not fastboot) and yes the screen is black in edl (download mode)
2. Make a clean flash and try it with qfil
3. You can find videos on youtube how you can fix redmi 4 prime hard bricks (complete guides)

How is it displayed in fastboot mode? Deepflashcable also doesn't worked for me because I read that on the newer rom's the edl mode is blocked so no chance with dfc anymore (thanks xiaomi...). It only reboots if I tried everything (commands,dfc,file..).
I had to flash an older version first via fastboot mode. After this I was able to reboot into edl mode with 0 problems. And I never tried the test point methode, not the right tools.

cant goto recovery, cant go to fastboot, test point tested 2nd time and its work.. flash success
but the screen still blank.
if i plug my usb cable to laptop its onlt shows MTP and green led light

I Know How To Fix This...
First Go to miui Fastboot page. Read the instructions and do as said till decompressed the file. Then Just connect your Phone while in Fastboot mode and enable adb and fastboot driver by double clicking on both respective bat files on your pc. Then Just Double click on [flash_all_except_data_storage.bat]. Your phone will reset and restart. If any problems contact me at [email protected] .

to turn off completely you need to remove the back cover and remove 7 screws and then remove also the battery cable and putthe cable back in. no other way.

Hello guys....
I'm having the same trouble as the owner of this post!
The story is as follows:
I tried to Root my phone and ended up screwing something most probably it was the TWRP old version.
Anyways now the phone is stuck on the "Your phone is booting" mode
The situation is that you can not use any of the BUTTON methods coz the phone just reboots back into the same screen.
When u drain the battery and replug into the charger it turns on automatically and boots into ANDROID but no GOOGLE apps and no KEYBOARD on screen.
Please, can anyone be constructive enough to read the above and give me a solution coz I have been reading throughout a lot of threads and no Solution to this so far?
Note:
Phone is in Unlock mode
FRP is Unlocked too
Don't ask me to use adb to get to bootloader or use keys to get there "coz it does not work"
Device name: Huawei P9 Lite 2017
Model: PRA-LX1
EMUI: 5.0.1
Country: Greece
Would appreciate your help coz seems like a lot of people are having the same issue with no solution.
I'm reaching the point of throwing the new phone against the wall to see how far it will bounce back........
Thank you.....

An error has occurred while updating the device software

Hi!
So my phone is stuck with the "an error has occurred while updating the device software" and that screen only shows when i charge my phone with wall brick. If i try to connect my phone with usb to pc nothing happens.
Even if i try to enter download mode. Any suggestions what I can do?

Try using the power button for a hard reboot.
If it got a low battery % you could let it discharge until shutdown. Generally this isn't practical.
Just another reason I don't allow updates...

The phone is "dead" the hard reboot wont help. I get the error screen when i put in the charger, if i connect it to the pc nothing happens and the screen is just black. Doesn't matter if i try download mode, recovery mode or just hold the power button.

You could try pulling the battery connector... hard reboot.
If that doesn't work, it's bricked.

Was Odin working before?
Check Windows Event Viewer for error messages. Latest version and drivers? Roll back or update drivers as needed.
Try another port.
I have zero experience with Odin. If you can't solve it and no one else responds to this thread, start a new thread for this issue. Lots of help here for that! Google search as well with XDA in the search parameters.

Once again check with your PC driver manager. Please confirm it's shows unknown driver or samsung device...if it shows unknown driver, then it happens only connected on bricked phones

Just happend to me too, Odin got stuck when flashing vendor.img (S10+, SM-G975).
For anyone getting here during research, THIS was my life saver:
How To Fix "An Error Occurred While Updating The Device Software" On Galaxy Smartphone? - SamsungSFour.Com
How To Fix "An Error Occurred While Updating The Device Software" On Galaxy Smartphone?
www.samsungsfour.com
tl;dr: after installing the tool (windows, I used it in a W10 sandbox VM on my linux host; make sure to pass the USB device into the VM!)
1) Connect the phone, make sure upper right hand dropdown lists it.
2) Ignore the "Please select your device" drowdown, leave it at "SC-01C". S10 Series isn't in there anyhow.
3) Select "SoftBrick Fixer"
4) Press "Hijack it!"
5) Phone should reboot and be in DL mode again
6) Flash again from ODIN with a GOOD cable and a DIRECT connection to the Host!
HTH.

tl;dr: after installing the tool (windows, I used it in a W10 sandbox VM on my linux host; make sure to pass the USB device into the VM!)
1) Connect the phone, make sure upper right hand dropdown lists it.
2) Ignore the "Please select your device" drowdown, leave it at "SC-01C". S10 Series isn't in there anyhow.
3) Select "SoftBrick Fixer"
4) Press "Hijack it!"
5) Phone should reboot and be in DL mode again
6) Flash again from ODIN with a GOOD cable and a DIRECT connection to the Host!
HTH.
