Hey guys, so I flashed Kyubi ROM a few days ago, I used to use that for a loooong time, so I'm pretty sure it isn't the ROM, what I did notice was the last few weeks, every ROM I flashed was a bit laggy and glitchy (not sure if it has anything to do with that).
So anyways, I was at school, pulled my phone out of my pocket to see it has turned off, tried to turn it off again and nothing happened, I thought it was just a dead battery. But once I got home, I plugged it in the charger, but the battery indicator didn't pop up. I googled for some stuff, tried a lot of ''fixes'', but nothing seems to work. I tried putting in a different battery, tried different chargers, but nothing seems to work.
Does anyone have any idea why this isn't working? This is very frustrating..
TLDR; Phone doesn't turn on, tried different batteries, chargers, nothing helps.

Did you try to connect to pc ? If your pc does recognize not then i am pretty sure its hard bricked. You will need debrick image for your model to fix have a look link below many people has same issues.

If you want your phone to boot by debrick image then you must write debrick image using win32 disk image software in pc to microsd card minimum 8gb capacity and will you also require qualcomm usb drivers install on pc. or it will not work. Are you able to go in download mode ?

Hey bro
I just tried that link you posted, but I don't have a micro sd card reader, a friend is going to lend me one tomorrow, then I can try, I needed to format sd card yo FAT32 but I cant without that thingy. I also ordered an usb jig to see if I can get it into download mode with that. I really hope so, so I will try it tomorrow, and if that doesn't work I hope the usb jig will save my life.
U are a beast for helping me I cant thank you enough, you brought me much further.
Thanks again brother and ill keep you up to date!
Gonna have to do it with a sh*tty s3 mini until then (my moms ols phone) but already rootd it and put cyanogenmod on it to make it somwhat... Fast
Have a nice day bro
DO u guys think an USB jig will fix the problem? i ordered it
hey fellas
just got the USB jig and I tried it but it didn't put my phone into download mode
so i guess i need to get a micro sd card reader and try the solution trex posted
but i don't think its gonna work.. it responds to nothing
UPDATE: tried this
scamex said:
One more thing.. Here are the .SDC files for direct sdcard boot repair. So choose what sdc you need and try to flash.
The flash procedure is this:
1.Put the .SDC file to your sdcard (sdcard must be formated as FAT32 and must be SDHC max 16GB)
2.On the phone press VOLUME DOWN + HOME + POWER
3.If all is ok the phone will display SDCARD MODE and will try to flash the phone with the file provided to sdcard
4. IF the process went ok now you have to flash the phone with odin and stock rom.
If the phone didnt boot to SDCARD Mode you will need a USB JIG that you can buy from ebay or somewhere else...
I hope this help you.

but it didn't work, didn't boot to SD card mode or anything
then I saw a different method with flashing pit files and bootloader to sd card with T-flash in odin
so i tried that with my samsung galaxy s3 mini and it just did nothing when I pressed start
can someone please help me, or is my telephone fried for good?
Hey guys I'm sorry for the continuously bumping but... I tried like every single method. And there is one little bit of hope for me, that is that someone gets me the debrick.img which I can use..
but I don't have really much hope for that
still always open for help
I am desperate
thanks

So out of the blue. i was just about to flash a rom, i was doing this to get in to recovery with out using a pc > http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=699100
after that. i rebooted and everything seem fine.. but then a msg pop up saying
"Removed SD, SD Card has been removed please insert a new one"
So i thought after the update HTC fix this problem.
Ive install so many different SD cards, all sizes, all classes, i reflash the phone with the PC36IMG.ZIP.
The phone wont even charge no more.. every time i plug it in the AC or via PC it says "its not enought of power to charge the phone please use the AC adapter" or some kind of msg like that. i only seen it twice
I cant even get in to adb mode to get in to recovery... my phone is not being found by pc either. the phone stop reading SD cards. it wont charge at all. cant find it under pc. i dont know what is going on

Hi guys...
I may have made a stupid mistake, but I bought a G2 from a guy today that had it rooted, but messed it up by doing an official Verizon update on top of it, so it was in non working order. When I plugged the phone into the PC, a bunch of multiple letter drives from like E-S popped up saying that they all needed to be formatted. I've never seen anything like it, but this is what I did... I ran a command prompt using DISK PART to format the phone totally all over to one partition & figured that I could work the software out from there, but when I did that, EVERYTHING stopped woring on the phone. No PC recognized drivers, no power up, charging light or nothing! Tell me that there is a way around this...

Best way around this is to get your money back. SERIOUSLY!!!!!
Just Kiddint. there is a great tutorial that will restore your phone to stock but will also UNROOT.
http://theunlockr.com/2013/10/31/unroot-lg-g2-verizon/
If you can get into download mode you're slightly ok (from powered off hold vol up while plugging in usb from a charger) though it sounds like you may have wiped all of your partitions and some are important such as efs which contains information unique to your phone.
If download mode works try the return to stock sticky in the developer forum.

for download mode it's only hold volume up and plug in usb while its connected to pc or you can try this(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2582142) but you need to find the appropriate files and since yours is a different issues/problem you might also have different errors and such so try at your own risk
Hi guys. I had a 32gb G2 and i was able to root it, upgrade it to 4.4 and use it without a hitch.
Today i got another one (16gb version) and flashed a kitkat rom i had around without stopping to check if it was 16 or 32gb (i forgot they had this difference). Well, now i got phone that i cannot use (im stuck at the SIM card PIN). What happens is that the screen is erratic. i click 2 and it registers 7...i click 5 and it selects simultaneously 123 and so on. basically i cannot pass this screen to enable all the good stuff.
Is there any way i can solve this?
I have a LG G802.

Boot without SIM card, connect to USB and transfer correct ROM. Boot into recovery, flash proper ROM. If you can't boot without SIM card you can probably use adb push to just push the ROM onto the sdcard and then reboot to recovery + flash.

Since i wanted to go full stock i ended up downloading a kdz file a nd followed the tutorial on http://unbrick.itcse.com/unbrick-soft-bricked-lg-g2/
well...that didnt work. the process initiated and somewhere along the way the app stopped, and the only thing i could undestand was a "EMERGENCY something". After like 1hr with nothing happening, i unplugged the phone and got some corrupted partitions.
I then turned to the tutorial on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2582142 ...but damn! i cant reboot properly. now all the phone does is boot up to the lg logo and nothing else happens. windows doesnt detect it, linux doesnt detect it and adb doesnot detect it. am actually crying now....IS THERE ANYTHING I CAN DO TO SOLVE THIS?....im kinda desperate here.

Hello everyone,yesterday i was trying to create swap memory for my rooted tablet using sd card.
I completed three partitions successfully fat32,ext3 and swap.
Then i installed busybox and used swapper...checked the option to create swap at bootup in swapper.
Everything was running well until i rebooted my tablet
It just crashed,now the tablet wont go in download mode nor does it shows the charging icon even if plugged for 4-5 hours.
I had purchased it in new Zealand so the warranty is not covered in india.service centre is not able to repair it even if i pay becuse they dont have the rom and spare parts for this model.I told them i have the rom they still dont agree.Is this a hardware problem or software issue ?
The only option for me would be to courier it to nz and then it would cost me 10000 rs in total..can anyone help me out.many of the repair personnel said they could do it for 3000 rs but i have this strong feeling that they would replace the original parts with fake chinese one even if they are in working condition.
If any one can give me a working procedure step by step and i am able to get my tab to work,i will be really thankful and gift 3000 rs in his/her bank account.
Tab is 9.7 spen Lte version
Thank-you

Take the card out. Ensure the device is plugged in to mains. Hold POWER + VOL DOWN + HOME until the device restarts and you see download mode.
Reflash the stock firmware.

Are you sure you didn't format the internal storage? How did you format.
Also you didn't answer my query about Windows.

I could've sworn I asked if windows detected the device, but can't see it? [emoji54]
Also you're saying the device crashed. Are you certain it didn't actually just die because the battery was depleted?
I would certainly be trying a different mains charger before condemning the tablet.

Unfortunately not.
So yesterday I got a notification for an OTA update (I'm on sprint). I am rooted, have xposed, and have twrp installed. Partly because of my stupidity and also just to see what would happen, I clicked download and install now. Now the phone doesn't show any signs of life, even after taking out the battery and trying to drain the capacitors by holding down power then putting the battery back in. Doesn't show up on my computer when plugged in, and doesn't have any power led when charging. I've tried 4 batteries with it (lol I have too many) and they all don't work. They were all charged with external anker chargers. I've tried with the sim card and sd card taken out, too.
So yeah, my phone is dead and I have no idea what to do. I'm pretty sure I'm out of warranty because it's been two years and I've modified it.

Hey, thanks for the help. I'm not sure how to check if my device is hard bricked? Is it normal for there to be no signs of life at all, not even power LED or vibrations? I can't get my phone to the download mode in order to show up in odin so I'm not sure how I would flash the unbrick file. When I plug my phone into my computer windows says that the device has malfunctioned and I can't find it in the device manager.

It's worth to try it i think. Some users got back their phones to life using this method. @RDChase is offering you a debrick.img for your variant. This method is using sdcard so no worries at the moment with Odin
Similar thing here, Sprint, TWRP, rooted, stock rom one of the early ones v4.4.4?!
Over last couple month it kept trying to update itself at night, very sneaky!!!! I have disabled auto-download and update BUT clearly it found a way around it, bastards!
It was in a reboot loop, extremely hot and buzzing, woke me up in the middle of night, I thought it going to burst in flames like Note 7!
So I pulled the battery out and left it out till morning, but now it no longer powers up, no LED, black screen, PC keeps saying USB drive malfunction and un-recognized, can't put it in recovery or download mode! Odin doesn't detect it also. PC device manager doesn't detect it either! Used volt meter to check both batteries both are fully charged up, but it doesn't show LED charging light?!?
Is there any way to un-brick it?
Again, I repeat phone does not power up and PC doesn't detect it!
Please help, if I can't un-brick it than I have few days until end of year to catch deal on upgrade to LG V20, hopefully it can be un-looked and rooted????
Edit: Just read online there is possibility that Note 8 is coming out either in April or Early August 2017!!!!!!
I need my Note 4 working again and last until new Note 8 comes out!

Will mounting De-Brick.img on sdcard even work if phone doesn't power on or go into download/recovery mode?
Yes. Instead of booting from internal memory, the cpu will boot from the external sdcard. Make sure you prepare it correctly however. The sdcard must be the 32GB+.
Take a look at this.

This works on a soc level, not the bootloader level.

:good: Thank you for debrick.img was looking for Sprint one everywhere!
Is it supposed to be 128mb or around 4Gb?
Debrick.img doesn't includes stock Rom, does it? If it does which version?
Next Steps:
1. Copy debrick.img to sdcard?
2. Put in sdcard + battery +press VolDown+Home+Power?
3. USB connect to PC + flash new Rom using Odin?
4. Root again?
Is this correct way to do it?
Has it worked for anyone?

I'm confused, I correctly mounted the image to the sd card and I put it on the phone with a fully charged battery, and tried booting into download mode thru home + volume down + power. it doesn't show anything on screen or any LEDS. it's connected to the computer but it says "usb device malfunctioned". Thanks for your help
I can't get into download mode even with the unbrick sd card in, I mounted it with win32DiskManager and everything. No charging LED or screen or vibration at all.
I installed qualcomm drivers and it shows up as "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008"
After some research looks like this is the only method that would solve my issue.. problem is that nobody has released the files needed to do this. http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/help/unbrick-samsung-galaxy-note-4-sm-n910w8-t3249970
Edit: Would a USB jig help me?
dead4ngel - to permanently fix it, just Odin the stock firmware
Others - I wasn't clear in how to prepare the SD card.
To prepare it properly you image the SD card with the debrick image file. This has to be on a 32+ GB SD card. (On a Linux machine where your in the folder with debrick-n910p.img is located and your SD card is /dev/sdx the command is dd if=debrick-n910p of=/dev/sdx)
You then put it in your phone, boot to download mode (it may take a few tries), then Odin a stock rom (PH1 or PK1 only) which MUST contain the bootloader
After this you don't need have the SD card be prepared like this, your bootloader will be fixed

To prepare it properly you image the SD card with the debrick image file. This has to be on a 32+ GB SD card. (On a Linux machine where your in the folder with debrick-n910p.img is located and your SD card is /dev/sdx the command is dd if=debrick-n910p of=/dev/sdx)
You then put it in your phone, boot to download mode (it may take a few tries), then Odin a stock rom (PH1 or PK1 only) which MUST contain the bootloader
After this you don't need have the SD card be prepared like this, your bootloader will be fixed

:good: Again thanks a lot for debrick.img it worked, you saved my butt!
Here is what I did to make it come alive, it did take couple trial and errors on my part.
Warning DO NOT copy & paste image file directly onto sdcard, it wont work!
Instead use the diskimage win32 software that was mentioned in Debrick thread before.
I used it to unpack and write file from debrick.img onto 16GB sdcard (only one I have) using that little piece of software.
I plugged in sdcard + battery, than pressed power button and phone came back to LIVE:angel:
Now it is back in my original KitKat Rom v4.4.4 still booted from sdcard, I was able to transfer all my documents and photos to my PC, thank God!
Ps screen got very hot again while it tried to run another software update, I killed it with task manager and turned off Data+WiFi radios for now, until I re-Flash from Odin!
Now for next step to flash new ROM using Odin, do I have to flash original KitKat 4.4.4 or Lollipop 5.11 recovery or can I just flash stock Marshmallow 6.11?
Is there stock Sprint+rooted+De-Odexed Marshmallow 6.11 version I can safely flash?
Do I need to root again each new ROM?
pLz i want to update jn lollipop halp me
