UNBRICKING GUIDE
Requirements:
1.Resistors(Yeah, U read correct )
2.USB cable
Hard bricking happens while you are flashing any custom roms or while updating your device or even also while installing some third party applications.
There are many tutorials which are already available regarding the solutions for the hardbricked phones. Here i am sharing my experience and how i resolved this problem when i faced it.This will help you to Unbrick your Hard Bricked Smartphone.
First let me remind you all, the solutions which is currently available for hard bricked devices are
1) replacing the motherboard of your device and,
2) Using JIG
Well if you hardbricked your device you can go to your nearest service centers and replace the board of your device freely if you have the warrenty otherwise you need to pay.
The other solution is using a JIG.
JIG is a device which every custom rom users must have. Because there are so many custom roms are available in the net, and you cannot predict which one is stable and which one is not. so if you flashed your device with a dumb rom you probably enters into hardbrick so again and again you cannot go to the service centers and ask for motherboard replacement. So this problem can be overcome with the use of JIG.
Well JIG is a small electronic circuit, which can b self prepared.
To prepare JIG all you need is a data cable of your device and six ( 100 or 300k ohms ) resistors.
Let me tell you, in some cases 100k wont work, during that case you need to use 300k ohms resistors.
All you need to do is, first trim your data cable by cutting it as i hav shown in the figure.
join 3 resistors of 300k ohms resistors. After doing this plug your trimmed data cable pin to your device, and take the resistors that you hav joined and try to connect one end of the resistor to the pin 2 in the datacable and one more end of the resistor to the another end of the data cable. if it didnt work try to add one more resitor to your resistor set and try. Definitely it will work.
This will force ur device to enter download mode, then flash a stock rom from fastboot.
This is how one can overcome from the hardbricked android device. I tried this in my previous device. It may Work on Moto E.
NOOBS STAY AWAY FROM THIS !! DON'T EVER COMPLAIN THAT YOU DID NOT SUCCEED.YOU HAVE TO BE PATIENT AND HAVE A LITTLE KNOWLEDGE ABOUT ELECTRONICS. IT WORKED IN MY CASE.
The guide is awesome
Hope I never get in a situation to try it
But my friends often come in this
And this will help them

Guys, i think my Yureka got hardbricked.
I updated to CM12 by downloading zip file and flashing from stock recovery. But the update sucked big time, lags, battery heating, etc. so i thought of reverting back to CM11 by fastboot method and now phone is not booting up, not able to go in recovery mode, not able to go in fastboot mode, not charging, i mean nothing! after searching internet, i came to know that u cannot downgrade from 64bit(CM12) to 32bit(CM11). I tried to recover by following this http://forum.xda-developers.com/yureka/help/question-qualcomm-download-mode-k-t3068040 but device is not getting detected in device manager, so couldnt proceed further. tried calling Yu customer care, but they wont even pick up the call. please help!

u can not revert back to cm11 from cm 12 because partition size is different for both so partition resize file needed in this direction development is already started u can see result as soon as development completed
Have anyone recovered their hard bricked yureka? So many experienced developers on xda but none are able to post successful method

My device brick after lollipop OTA update, reaching customer support was areal nightmare but today after 5 days continues efforts and 126 calls one after another i mange to get through Yu Customer care. surprisingly they got my personal details already within their systems and after reconfirming my details they agree for replacement of trans-receiver with in 10 days time.

Yup, never ever buy a MMX/YU product
I pity you guys!! why don't you guys Google and find the solution... If your device is not detected on pc it isn't a big issue you can easily make your pc to recognize and then proceeding further is no tough job. All you have to do is just Google... It isn't issue with Micromax... The culprit here is cyanogenmod

Is your phone not switching on at all? Also, are you able to boot into bootloader mode using Volume Up and Power key?

I have faced the same problem with my first Gen. When I went tracking the root of the issue, It came out that I tried and downgrade the bootloader of the device, which left it unusable. The last sort was to take it to RMA or get a local repair.

Almost half the price. Check if local shops could be of any help? They tend to cost less. But do check with RMA and ask them about the price and all.

moto e3 soft brick
Bro my moto e3 power has boot loop the rom installed is not getting loaded. I used TWRP then installed DND rom after someday i factory reset it and it started doing bootloop then i again copied new twrp and again new problem came that twrp can't even mount internal storage what to do?? plz help........
Hi
I have rooted and installed custom rom cm14 in my moto e3 power now i went back to stock rom there is problem
its not stable it is always closing some apps suddenly
The software is not working as before rooting
i want official rom to get back as before rooting my mobile
And I want to relock my bootloader
Hi, I have a huge problem with my phone.
Recently I flashed the stock ROM in version 6.0 for my moto g4 play and I tried to do the updates. during the second update, my phone went out and this is the hard brick I was running on Android 7.1 before so I think there's an incompatibility beetween the bootloader and the OS, that's why my device is bricked
Using Blank Flash I was able to start my phone in fastboot mode. But this process locked my bootloader.
atm I am in fastboot mode with a locked bootloader and USB debug not activated, what can I do ? I can't flash anything...
Thanks
please I'm desperate. Is there nothing to do ?
Hey I was on the same boat, my moto G4 play was out of warranty and with just ₹300 they fixed the software. If you are from Kolkata then visit the Chadni service center, the guys are really helpful and cooperative. Now this moto G4 boots and works. That blank file that you flashed from the other thread is not correct for XT1602. I learnt this from the service center. Just take it to the service center and they will fix it up for you.

They say that they have to change some pieces of the phone whereas it's just a firmware problem, to make me pay more... At that price, I'd better buy a new phone !
Really, is there a way to re-unlock bootloader without using developers options ? or is there a way to flash a ROM without an unlocked bootloader ? Thanks
I read that it's possible to force device to go in edl mode and then flash the ROM, but I don't know how to go to this mode with this phone .
Thanks
I tried a few but was not able to.
