I had an Asylum Custom Rom installed.
I also had TWRP as the recovery installed.
I decided to try the new COLOR ROM public beta that I got from the OPPO forums.
I went into TWRP recovery, did a full wipe and then proceeded to install the new COLOR ROM.
When I rebooted, the phone never turned on again.
Now I cannot get to fastboot, recovery, or turn on the phone at all.
I browsed through many forums and tried
1. Charging phone for 5 hours (no led light when plugged in) -> nothing
2. Holding Power button for 30 secs, (5 times to try a hard reset) -> nothing
3. Holding Down button for 10 secs -> nothing
4. Power and up volume -> nothing
5. Power and down volume -> nothing
6. Plugged into computer USB and tried all button combos -> nothing
Is my phone really bricked now?
I hope for your sake it really isn't the case. It does seem like you have tried all the usual ways of getting around the symptoms you are describing. It sounds like you had a bad download and flashed it anyway. I hope someone has some advice for you to fix your device. I am currently on Asylum and was just considering trying out the new Color ROM so i think i'll hold off until i know for sure you can resurrect your device.
when you are hooked up to USB on PC can you try ADB? does it even see the device at all?

Nothing. no response whatsoever. I've worked with many different phones before starting with the Nexus One and I've always been able to get out of a potentially bad situation because I could at least always get to fastboot or recovery, but in this case, nothing. It really is like working with a brick, hence the term "brick". Now i can really understand the meaning of the term.
such a bummer. it certainly makes me think twice about trying other ROMS now jeez
update
Just an update to this thread... I sent my Find 5 to get repaired to try and figure out what the problem was. It turned out that the battery had failed and they replaced the battery for me. Glad to say that my Find 5 is up and running again.

good to hear !!
I couldnt really believe that flashing a rom using recovery affects fastboot let alone button combos/charging...
btw what were the costs of replacing the battery ? or was it free of charge under warranty...

I suggest you to ask addel in oppo forum, she can help you just pm her and tell your problem, because she has an app like odin in samsung to totally flash new rom inage from pc like odin did. But its not officially released by oppo and its hard to find, so i suggest you to contact her

I need some serious help guys. Phone is stuck at boot logo and wont turn on. IT wont enter recovery mode. it wont hard reset. It wont enter download mode.
The phone was completely stock originally. So i rooted using towelroot and ran the 'AutoREC' program. That did its thing and restarted and got stuck in fastboot mode. couldnt get out of it. Eventually managed to reflash all the original stock ROM partitions and it started to boot again... only to get stuck at the LG logo. I need some serious help.
PC wont detect the phone at all and its as if there is no OS on the phone. I have the D802 variant 32gb.
which kdz variant did you flash.

I am in the same position. Except I tried to flashify stock recovery on d800 at&t variant. I wanted to install the stock update because I was still stock. Just root with twrp before...I had the sprint variant before the ls980 and it never screwed me over like this. I'll post if I figure anything out... I got to get ahold of shellnutt...

Have you tried both ways to enter recovery?
Push PWR + Vol Down till you see the LG Logo then release and press both again
Push PWR + Vol Down till you see the LG logo then release and press and hold the volume up and volume down buttons until reset screen appears.
If you can see the LG logo I think you are not Hard Bricked
I haven't tried that exactly. I'll give it a shot when I get a chance

You may want to check your internal hardware to be sure it's marked as a D802. Typically the feint white stamp in the lower center/left of the phone with rear cover removed is the true model number. It's also stamped on the board and on the ribbon cables going up eithe side. Your device is showing the signs of a false d802 which has become sadly common in recent months.
If it's legit d802 then flash aboot, boot, laf and power it off.
Then hold voume up and connect to pc while still holding volume up.
Make sure you have the drivers installed, fire up lg mobile support tool or the lg flash tool 2014 (you need your kdz file now - find it using your imei and lg-firmware site)
Okay so I found this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g2/general/lg-g2-unbrickable-fix-real-hard-brick-t2904404 to get it to come up as a device in Windows and Linux. And this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2582142 I'm sure you read this but you need to do it after following the first guide. I already have a Linux installed and I'm going to try today. I'll update with a guide for you only if you need it and if I succeed. I just need to remind you. You CANNOT mess up on the second guide... Well as far I can tell. But if the first guides label is actually true then maybe I'm wrong.
ok so ive ordered some tools to open up the phone and check the internals. Hopefully its a legit G2. Meanwhile every single possible combination of the power and volume keys does absolutely nothing. If all else fails ill try shorting the capacitors as ive seen on a guide from here and hopefully that will be the end of it. Thanks for all the input guys. Ill keep you posted!

Plug it into a windows machine, open device manager and look for Qualcomm qhsusb_bulk. If you get that, you're already in bulk and don't need to worry about shorting capacitors. If it's not being recognized in any way, you may be forced into that as a last resort.

All you really need to open it up is a guitar pick. It pries apart make sure you take the sim card out. After that it's going to take a little swipe around the edge and it'll pop open no problem.

I checked that already. Not going into bulk mode. Seems like the capacitors are my last resort
so ive poped the phone open and guess what... its not a D802.. its a D800.. the at&t version... wtf.. no wonder i bricked it. gonna see if i can use the unbrickable method
did you checked the IMEI?
nope its says on the speaker grille after you remove the back cover. "D800"
how is that possible? did phone information apps showed your device as 802 aswell? did kernel info and phone info in system settings lied too?
So it looks like this phone is not completely unbrickable. I've seem to brick mine pretty bad.
The phone doesn't turn on at all. No vibration or other kind of feedback.
Doesn't appear on the computer either.
So my question is: is there any emergency download mode like in qualcomm based phones?

It seems completely dead. Probably only with test point. Warranty most likely will refuse it since it is boot loader unlocked.

Yes Warranty falls if the bootloader unlocked. Test Point could help.
Well warranty will most likely only complain if it was bricked by the user and software modification.
If your phone broke because of an hardware issue, you have a chance that warranty still repairs it for free.

Well since it broke after I flashed b160 firmware I am most likely SOL. Since I had twrp flashed they will find out that it was modified..
My advice is not to mess with fastboot mode. Flash twrp and be careful with what you flash.
Did you tried to flash original firmware with the three buttons?

Yup. It's completely dead. No fastboot mode, no recovery or erecovery. It simply does not turn on (or enumerate in a computer either).
If you could boot into recovery,the rest would be simple....download the stock firmware, unzip it and push the file to your phone,then install

Have you tried to enter fastboot or recovery solely using the button combos? or did you try using adb as well? It's possible your battery deep-discharged, or your power adapter/connectors are faulty.

Yes I cant enter anything in fact. There was a suggestion to connect the phone without battery to the computer but it implies opening up the phone and even if it did something I don't have the tools to flash it. (dc-phoenix only seems to work with phones with fastboot working)
As far as I know the symptoms that my phone is experiencing are due to the fastboot partition being messed up.
As far I was able to research there is another boot loader before the fastboot one. But the phone doesn't respond at all, it is dead. I will ask around in phone repair shops if they can reflash the phone.

Before you do anything rash, have you considered getting a usb jig? Simply put the stock firmware on the jig then plug it into the usb port on your phone. It will automatically put your phone into download mode and install the firmware. Here's the link to make your own usb jig http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s2/help/guide-how-to-make-usb-jig-reset-binary-t1604707. Hopefully this helps!!!

That is for samsung phones. I gave on trying to fix the phone. Next week I'm going to send it to a phone repair shop and see what they can do.
Edit: The phone repair guy says that the only way it can be repaired is by replacing the emmc or replacing the motherboard. So for now the phone will sit in the drawer until I manage to get a new board.
Hello
I had the same problem with my honor 7, the only solution is to replace the motherboard :/
If the phone is completely dead, warranty will accept it just because they will change your motherboard if they can't turn it on. I had the same problem last week, probably an hardware fail, I gave it to them saying that the phone simply turned off and they changed the whole motherboard (bootloader unlocked, twrp and root).
Well I tried sending it to the repair center. Two days later they replaced the whole phone, they said that there was an issue with the power ic.
B160 works for me.. hmm.... using it for like a [email protected]@
might be your hardware that cause the problem and not the firmware?

I'm starting to think so, I've flashed the replacement and it didn't brick. May or may not be related to the headers, but I don't want to be creative right now since I need the phone lol.

Hi there, I've been browsing through the threads related to unbricking of the Nexus 6P stuck in qualcomm hs-usb qdloader 9008 mode, really desperate to get my device working again if even possible however I've tried for about four days now different ways and files and I've had no luck.
My bootloader is locked and no ADB etc managed to get my device showing as the 9008 port so I think it's stuck in EDL.

Use a hairdryer to warm up the back of the phone.
Are you pulling my leg? Warm it up then reflash?
nah im not trying to make you destroy your phone, being rather serious with this method. i use it on a daily basis to solve phones that fail during restoring factory images. i wouldn't know how long to give it with a hair dryer as i have access to a heat gun/heat mats .
just think of it as a cheap mans re balling method

thank you so much that worked, it has said flash successful, first time I got a google logo but now nothing, what would be my next step please?
if the bootloader is unlocked then you can directly flash the firmware. but if its not google "nexus ota" and then on your phone jump into the recovery and check the firmware model number and download the same ota and adb sideload it.
im not 100% sure on the next step as I've never had a nexus 6p with a dead bootloader. but thats what id do.
---------- Post added at 04:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:49 PM ----------
but from my personal experience with having to heat a phone up to restore factory images, it kinda means the phone is nearing the end of its life and id start thinking about buying your next phone before it sh*ts the bed.

yeah can you access the bootloader at all ? does it say that the bootloader is locked ? from trying to restore LG's it sometimes has to be re heated a few times, but yeah if you need to re heat it to get further into the phone then its pretty much a lost cause. the only reason i do it is to remove the data so we can resell the device.

Hello....
How did you manage to get in to EDL mode..? I'm really curious. With stock bootloader? Since you can't access recovery
Also what is exactly displayed in Windows device manager?
You are using an outdated QFil version... It is from 2014 àr 2015.
Do a google search with: QPST_2.7.453.0 . This version seem to be from 2016.
Use the first link from the result. I analysed the files with virustotal, those seem clean or malware...
Also when plugging your usb cord to your PC, does your phone vibrate? Or does the LED blink in red?
You may have to press power button when plugging the usb cord or press power button for a certain amount of time before you plug the usb cord. I'm not completly sure, but your phone may not be in the "proper" EDL state to accept the QFil flash.
Good luck... :good:
Is it possible to send me the guide you used? Thanks.

Hey there sorry for slow replies, will be back on my desktop in an hour I'll send you links for what I followed and such, I think the only reason my device was in EDL mode was due to a hardware fault? As my device is faulty indefinitely as I had to use a hairdryer to warm it up while flashing this then allowed it to enter firehose state which a lot of people seem to error with - after all my attempts and research I'm to velieve there's a fault with the phone itself the only way I could get it to even power up was applying heat to it after removing the back panel
As blackcell said deballing or something? Worked a treat!
Furthest I've managed to get now is into my boot loader however everything is locked - when I press enter recovery my handset just freezes ?

I wonder:
-Which is your phone model, as stated on the back of the phone?
-Which is the file that you used to downgrade?
-Which stock rom did you try to flash?
The fix is pretty simple but seeing how you borked three simple procedures I'd like to know everything and lay it out for you precisely. You have to have done something horribly wrong to softbrick a phone with the stock updater system...

Okay at first my phone model on the back of my device is, as i mentioned before, "zte a2017g" thats the european version of this phone, chinese is "a2017" and the us version is "2017u".
The file i used 2 downgrade was the stock rom from the official website of zte
it was the full edl file buildnumber b10.
and again i once sofbricked it, i know how 2 fix that, but now it hard bricked, well i think so at least, i cant get it to boot into bootloader, recovery or anything, when i hold the power button it shakes the device, and it shows the zte logo for about 2 seconds then it disappears, and nothing happens but my computer does recognize it as a connected device but i cant use miflash of something else because those programs dont see it.

all right. it's still freaking weird. Use my DFU unbrick guide but only do step 4 and 5 (but use the files on the top anyways)(you just have to hold Vol+ and Vol - and insert the cable instead of taking the phone apart and shorting pins). After that check the driver, if it is still Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 then flash with MiFlash, if not, tell me what appears

First of all, if you get an error TELL ME what it says!
Send me a screenshot of the device manager, i can do very little with "yellow triangle"
Don't bother? That guy is using XDA as a free emergency support without looking for one second.
He probably would like you to do a teamviewer while he's watching football with a beer and not even say thank you.
I'm horrified.

Sorry, I don't believe you for one second. Like litterally THOUSANDS of people here and here opening "bricked plz hlp" threads, you didn't even have the BASIC, LOWEST courtesy of writing more than 10 words of gibberish whining about your situation, without a single usefull element of context.
Proof of that in the NUMEROUS questions asked about ELEMENTARY elements about your situation. You're litterally the kind of person that would go to a car mechanic, drop the keys on the counter saying "my car is broken, fix it" and just leave without a single word added. That's RUDE and, yeah, I'm tired AF of people like you who can't READ THE DAMN XDA RULES and got NOT education whatsoever.
Nd writng frm a phone in T9 mde dsnt rlly bring nythng mre on the tble either.
Too bad you found somebody to help, as it's only encouraging that kind of behaviour.

this is a screenshot of my device manager, and what I meant with yellow triangle, also it doesn't work with the edl-tool nor the axon7tool

Okay, let's try two things:
First right click on it and uninstall the device, also delete driver software for the device (it will be a checkbix asking for that after you hit 'uninstall device'). After that, hold Volume up, Volume down, and Power until the Device manager refreshes. After that the driver should reinstall itself. If it still shows with the yellow triangle, right click it, click on Properties, and send me a screenshot (or translate me what it says on the status part)

if you can only get to dfu mode and nothing else, use thise guide, you'll have to dismantle your phone. Had to unbrick mine with this from a hardbrick, worked flawlessly

Hey, a couple of things: one, i've updated the guide, it's around, much simpler to use. just saying. Two, this guy has the right driver. Don't confuse him with DFU while at least for now it is not.
