[Q] Bricked Defy and not recognized by my USB

Guys,
First of all, hello to all! So, I followed a tutorial to install Froyo on my Defy. Now I'm stuck with my phone trying to boot as soon as i put the battery on, but it never makes it past the "M". I can get into recovery. I wiped data, cache and tried to install the "update.zip" but it aborts saying "signature verification failed." I have the boot file (that was the next step) to install using RSDlite 4.9 but the phone is not even recognized any of my USB ports. Any ideas? Thanks to all in advanced.

press volumn up buton and power button on boot , once you saw the backlit is on , release the button , you will see the rsd litle showing your usb .
dont worry . i think it is your first time to use RSD only

yea i been through that ( doesnt work on vista )
you need to install rsd lite and 2.51 UK Firmware ( no usa )
google it and you will find it or on this forum
install usb driver from motorola webiste
install rsd lite
put uk firmware in ... C drive/ program files / motorola / rsd lite
install driver
If your phone is stuck on " M " then pull battery out
turn on and quicky press power + vol up ( i think ) before M even appear
wait till it say your boot loader and your battery
plug phone in
start rsd lite
on ... look up your uk firmware that you you recently put in rsd lite folder
then you should see your phone connected on the 1 slot
then hit start or something and wait it out .

Thanks guys! But I've been messing around with this thing for so long, I drained the battery. I had to run it up to the local phone store to get it charged. I'll pick it up in a couple of hours and give your advice a try.

Hey guys! it worked! I'm up and running. Now, anyone has a link to bypass this Welcome to Motoblur screen. Is there a Custom Froyo or Gingerbread Rom out there without Motoblur?

Alright... I'm up and running, but no camera!!! Heck, it was a learning experience. I guess I'll go back to 2.1 now. LOL

So the Chinese ROM was rooted. I installed Clockworkmod and restored from the backup i had made of the original 2.1 OS. I'm back to a rebooting phone not making it past the "M" I went back to RSDlite and realized the boot file said 2.2 only. Can anyone assist me finding the right one to go back to original. I haven't been able to find a thread about reverting back to original.

The more I read, the smarter I get seems like the only thing I'm missing here is the SBF file for my original T-Mobile OS. I'm looking at the motorola website, but I can't find it. Can anyone point me to it? Thanks all! Oh yeah, this is the first android phone i mess with so my apologies.

There is no us sbf file. You have to flash a uk version and restore 3g with the posted fix. You can find the links to available sbf files on this forum. They are not available thru moto's site.

Just to make sure I got it right. After using clockworkmod to restore to my factory backup, I need to use the UK sbf to be able to boot to it. Correct?

I found the sbf for Central Europe with no Motoblur. Does anyone know of any issues with it?

well the only way to fix this if you previously backed up your rom/files with recovery ( good thing i did this ). If not then you have to live with what you got.

I backed up my original firmware using clockworkmod. I flashed to the Chinese 2.2 but my camera didn't work. Since the camera is important to me, the Chinese Froyo was a deal breaker. I installed clockworkmod again and "recovered" from my original backup but now my defy won't boot. Did I miss a step?

Your data from the backup may cause issues when rolling backwards. Install an eclair sbf, then restore. That worked for me.
On another note there is a fix for the camera. Check the forums.

Just try and install the Motorola Drivers in your desktop and open RSDLite and press 'show devices' button. It will surely show the details of your phone.
Then point RSDLite to the stock SBF and flash away.

Thanks! Vignesh. But i have drivers installed. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling drivers. But did not help
Edit:
I missed to mention. My defy did not connect to desktop even before bricking.

If you hear the USB plugged in sound in your Pc, it's a messed up driver installation. If you don't hear the sound, it can be a bad cable, or a faulty microusb port (assuming that your pc usb works fine). Try once in a different pc and with a different microusb cable.

I do not hear any sound from desktop/laptop.
I think I stuck in boot loop. When I try to power on the phone, it just shows CM7 boot logo for few seconds then restarts again shows the boot logo... this happens continually. When I try to enter into recovery, it does not go to CWM recovery instead it goes to stock recovery. I am still able to enter into boot loader. In boot loader, it says battery OK connect USB to program. When I connect USB, it is recognized by phone and says transfer mode: USB. But my PC does not shows up the phone.
I tried re-installing drivers and RSDlite many times but no luck. But I have nandroid backup of CM7. Is there any possibilities to enter into CWM recovery?
Any help is appreciated.
Edit:
I tried even different USB cables and PCs also.

Removing USB connection while flashing

Hi all,
I have a serious problem with my G2 which I could not solve: I used the new LG Flash Tool 2014 with stock KDZ file, everything was going just fine till I received an error message that LG server is not available, I disconnected the USB cable by mistake from my G2 and afterward I saw that it was in the middle of flashing process (12% was completed). I turned it off and tried to reach download mode again and nothing!, I'm receiving the "LG" logo and nothing- the screen goes black (it is still on).
I tried also to connect my phone to the computer- I received a list of 13 "new" local disks "H" to "T", only "H" disk is available and it's showing "image" folder with list of files.
I cannot reach "download mode", nothing is working!
I hope this is not the end for my G2..
please help me
Thank you so much!

If you could receive all those hard disks then you could maybe fix it with linux/ubuntu if you have it. Search for guides to cOpy the neccesary stuff bacK like the bootloader. I can't really help you atm as i am too sleepy.

Thank you for your reply. I found this on the sticky threads: "[FIX] NO Recovery mode, No download mode, after OTA on rooted LG G2".
I installed ubuntu and followed the instructions. when I type the following: "gdisk -l /dev/sde" I receive an error message:
"GPT fdisk (gdisk) version 0.5.1
NOTE: Write test failed with error number 13. It will be impossible to save
changes to this disk's partition table!
Problem opening /dev/sde for reading! Error is 13
You must run this program as root or use sudo!"
My device is not rooted, is this the problem?
Please help me!!
Thanks

@NNCa It says you need to run the program as root on ubuntu.
Just use sudo in front of the commands.
You need to type once your password to use sudo, you can't see the password if you enter it for safety I guess but just click enter after you typed ykur password.

Hi,
I powered off my phone by pressing volume down + power for a while ("LG" logo blinked once and phone was fully powered off).
I pushed volume down + power till I saw the LG logo, released it, and pushed again- and finally I reached the Factory Hard Reset screen. I have pushed 3 times the power, and I have got "Factory reset processing..." and nothing is appeared, even when I'm pushing several times on power again.
I guess this is the end of my G2 :crying:
Thank you all for your support, this is an excellent forum!:good::good:

Nope it isn't the end try to install the recovery again or try to push the custom twrp recovery again to the right partition! Dont give up that fast when i hear your things then its still fixable! you already got the factory reset processing so try to Push the Recovery again and search for an guide about recovery maybe Then you would probably get your device fixed.
Just read my things about simplicity so think easy and you can fix it. AND STAY POSITIVE You will repair your phone today :good:

Yes, I checked it- no response during connecting/disconnecting the device..
Maybe I did a mistake when trying to push those image files.. I guess there is nothing I can do to fix my phone..
Do you have any other suggestions?

Can someone please help me. How can I get to the LG device- Is there another software I can use to flash files into this device?
Thanks

Sorry for late reaction but i needed to think of something. Did you tryed to use another cable? Did you tryed to do it on another pc? Did you tryed to maybe install LG PC suite and see if it gets recognized? If you have the PC Suite you may need to turn it off in the LG flashtool idk. Can you tell us more like which windows you have?

Hi,
I tried all you suggested, however my devide is not recognized. I tried to use the LG PC Suite and to flash by IMEI, however it is still saying that no device was connected.. I checked windows device manager, and nothing changed there.
There is any chnage I can see my connected device? use some tool or another software?
Thank you again for your patience and help!

Hi, sorry to say but you have unfortunately completely hardbricked your device. It happened to me too however I was able to get it replaced under warranty at no extra cost.
What happened was that when your phone was still detected by linux, you had a chance to recover by flashing the correct partitions to gain access to download mode and from there, flash a KDZ to go back to complete stock. However, the files you used were probably incompatible with your variant which has now corrupted your bootloader sequence. I suggest you read this reply by fizzy177 as well as the rest of the thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=51522304&postcount=118
So right now, you cannot do anything as you have already found out, no computer will recognise that your phone is plugged in. Your phone fails to boot when you try enter the download mode and it just freezes on the splash screen which looks like this: http://www.lg-phones.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/image2.png
What's meant to happen is your phone should load past that initial splash screen into this http://www.androiddunya.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/LG-G2-DownloadMode.jpg which accepts KDZ flashing and warns the device has been rooted.
So it's a blessing that your phone cannot boot as LG cannot find out you have voided warranty and you will be able to get a replacement free of charge.

Issue was solved- device was fixed under warranty
Hi,
I just want to update you all that my device was fixed under warranty! (motherboard replacement)
Thank you all for help and great support, this is a great forum with great community :good::good:

Hello
From past 2 weeks i am wondering on internet for a solution . Hours and hours of surfing and articles but still
Hope some one solve this issue.
Okay. First i m using LG G2 F320 K update to lollipop . Non rooted. It was working fine . I can transfer files in MTP .
But about a month ago i get an update for my phone . And after some days i need to transfer some files to my phone , i wonder when i connected my phone to computer nothing happened . No notification on mobile for changing PTP MTP option . Also nothing happened in Computer device manager..
From that day i am unable to connect my phone with windows 10. It always charging mobile.
I uninstalled all drivers in device manager and installed from LG website. I updates windows N and NK MTP update from windows for windows 10.
I changed different data cables and different computers and different ports . All stuff i can do. Still no luck.
When ever i plug USB data cable it always put my Mobile on Charging . No notification on Mobile. Also i go in setting > storage> and there is no option in upper right corner to select USB PC connection .
I am in developer mode and debugging mode is on also. Also USB tethering option is Disabled .
Kindly some one help me regarding this.
LG G2 F320K updated to stock Koren lollipop 5.0.1 . Non root.( i updated lollipop in April 2015)
Issue i am facing is no notification for Charging/ MTP/PTP Usb Debugging on mobile notice bar when i attach my phone using USB cord with computer. Also in computer device manager nothing happen. Even i checked on windows 10 , 8.1, 8, 7 .
I remember it was working like charm 4 weeks before I can change MTP PTP or Charge only mode by selecting notification when i attach it to my laptop. I can transfer files can use LG PC suit .
Then i received an software update like 40 mb and i updated my mobile. That i remembered.
After that 2 weeks before i need to transfer some books from laptop to my mobile. When i plugged my device there no notification to select MTP mode . Also there is nothing happened in my windows 10. I looked in task manager. No yellow icon in computer task manager for driver thing.
Laptop is just silent and mobile is just on charging .
Then i go to setting in LG and looked for USB PC connection settings. I wonder there is nothing . Settings > storage > 3 dot in upper right corner.. it suppose to be there . But here is no 3 dot in storage. Then i looked into share and networks in android setting and i found that USB tethering. But its faded mean it is disabled and i am unable to use this feature also.
I tried on different computers different cables , original, but nothing. Always when i plug usb mobile went on charging and in all computers nothing happen in device manager.
USB debugging is on.. I factory reset device 2 times. but useless. Also i uninstall all drivers from my laptop and then reinstall drivers from LG website also i tried google drivers , ABD, different ports. Nothing nothing happen.
Also now if i try put mobile on download mode by turning device off and then push + vol button and then put cord in mobile . No download mode also it went on charging. Well charging from laptop or from charger is okay.
Hope i explain all.

[Hard Brick] Nexus 6P 7.1.2 Beta 2 [Solved]

Hey guys I just installed the full image of 7.1.2 beta 2 over top of beta 1 using Flashfire without the bootloader and modem selected and all went fine until I decided to use Flashfire to upgrade the bootloader and modem forgetting that we must use Fastboot as I am new to Flashfire and I was reading all through the beta thread before I did it and didn't understand we still must use Fastboot so anyways I am stuck in a hard brick now with the phone not powering on at all and can't do anything to restore it as my Windows 10 now detects the phone as unknown device (device descriptor request failed) is there anything I can do at this point as I just bought this phone used.
The error that I got in Flashfire was that the device storage is full when updating the bootloader as the modem went fine.

@rmorris003
You said the phone won't even power on. You mean no Google? Hold the power button down for a couple of minutes and see if it will reboot. If not put it on a charger, and after fully charging try the long press power button again. If you can get it to start, try to put it in fastboot mode. (ie. power+vol dn). If you can get to bootloader you can send fastboot commands and fix it. If you can get to this point, there are instructions here.

You disabled driver signature and rebooted your computer? Then installed Qualcomm drivers from the thread I linked you to? I think you have to reboot your computer once more...
Good luck...

I held the power and vol down and now it shows up under com ports so this is a good sign.

Ok got bootloader back and now put twrp on, I had to use qfil with nexus6p_fix_bricked but it got stuck at writing system.img but atleast the phone is on now.
Flashed the 7.1.2 beta 2 full image using the fastboot method included and all is back to normal.
Thanks so much for the help.

Update Failed and Phone Cannot Start. Only Flash Blinks When Charging, NO START/Boot?

I got an update notification. And clicked to update.
When restarted the phone, the phone went to die. I could not start my phone.
I tried these:
1) Kept my fingers on VOL Down and POWER buttons for 2 minutes (even more), but NO USE.
2) Tried to open screws but my screwdrivers could not fit for them.
I bought it 3 months back, but in Flipkat and no service center near me. Any solution for it?

* When I connected charger, LED light blinks that was near Fingerprint zone.
* Tried device manager software, it helped nothing.
* Tried to put my fingers on POWER and VOLUME DOWN buttons, but no use.
Really disappointed as it was a gift from my brother.

Just to clarify - you installed the update and then rebooted or just accepted the notification to begin the update (and then rebooted, after which your device failed to boot)?
Did you have TWRP/root and were you on the stock ROM prior to flashing (or a custom stock ROM)?

The update was downloaded, when installing it went blank and never started up.
* I have TWRP custom ROM before it.

Did you flash a stock recovery before attempting to update? Having TWRP might be causing the hang; try these suggestions from abhi212b https://forum.xda-developers.com/mo...date-build-t3584982/post72114657#post72114657
Can I ask which custom ROM you were on? You won't be able to flash stock OTA updates with TWRP/customised stock ROM.

My phone is in blank screen. NO start up. No fastboot or recovery mode available. Only light blinks when charger is connected. Then how can I do your suggestions? You didn't understand my problem.

My apologies - I looked through your post history and was wondering if the TWRP/rooting performed previously might have prevented your device from booting.
What is your device detected as when you plug it into your computer, is it Moto G4 or is it Qualcomm HS-USB- 9008 (or similar)?

When I connected to laptop, it took detected and installed port Qualcomm HS-USB- 9008. But I didn't see special drive detecting beside my other drivers.

Right, 2 things to try:
1) Try holding the power button down for 2-3 minutes, this may force a hard restart which might break your device out of whatever state it's in.
2)If 1 doesn't work, you may wish to look into trying a blank-flash (here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/help/solved-unbrick-hard-bricked-dead-t3585016 or here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=71405834&postcount=23 ) Depending on what happened with the update, you might be lucky. You may wish to have a look at these blank-flashes too, heed the warning: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=73151763&postcount=6
3)If 1 and 2 don't work, then unfortunately you'll have to locate a repair centre (or try to find a Motorola service centre) that you could send the device to, or ask Flipkart for assistance. Alternatively, save up for another device. Currently, we don't have another option, though it appears that a member is trying to patch a blankflash for the new update: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=73152979&postcount=21

I got this when I clicked blankflash:

exe blank-flash

Press any key to continue . . .

I think, if any one can find new blankflash, I can fix my phone. I think those blankflases are old. I'm on April update, and failed when I tried for June update.

MI A1 Bricked HARD!!!-AlekDev

Hi Guys my MI A1 was bricked i just use the test point to fix and my pc recognized as Qualcomm 9008 so flashed latest 8.0 everything worked but wifi and bt was broken so i decided again to put in EDL and flash it with same firmware after that MI flash shows success but device doesn't turn it jsut keep blinking led and goes to EDL everytime i connect to PC...tried with Nougat and Oreo firmwares same...i checked logs and saysthat device is successfully flashed and rebooted...but nothing just black screen and blinking led..Can anyone Help me?I can't send to Service because i will need to wait 1 month also i opened the back cover so i lost the warranty.....:crying::crying:

Hi,
did you try to flash with qfil or only mi flash ?
I'm not sure but may you ask Cosmic Dan he was planing to do an unbrick guide and he mentioned files which you can use with qfil to unbrick your device. I don't know how far he is with it.
But if you did manage to unbrick so far and only BT and WiFi is your issue aren't there several fix guides for the persist partition ?
For my personal experience after I had to unbrick my old n6p I had the same issue after flashing. Phone stays black and led just blinking. Try to long pressing power, or other button combinations while plugg and unplugging USB to pc and I mean really long pressing the buttons. It sounds a bit weired but my n6p came back and booted as usual.
I'm sry, but I can't tell you the right combination because I tried so much that time, because it was my only phone.
Good luck !

Bro if You Have A Backup Of Your phone Then flash It.

Qfil doesn't work because we have A/B Partition Layout....i have backup of my partitions that's not issue....

How much battery had you left at flashing ? May its just drained and not able to boot. Sometimes it's the stupid and simple things. If you have partition backups you should be able to fix your WiFi and BT.

You can get it back. You have lost the Wifi and Bluetooth (Mac Address files). You can boot your phone if it is in edl mode. Just press the Power Button for more than 30-40 seconds. Your phone will boot. If possible, try to stick the back cover and show it to service center. They will change your phone's motherboard! They don't know about edl and everything! They only change internal parts! :good:

Try updating your drivers. Happened to me once, MiFlash didn't detect it, but driver MANUAL update helped.

If u r using Mac Then Try in windows with Fastboot Rom.

Phone sent to Service Center....hopefully they will repair with my warranty,So No releases/No Builds around 1 month

After lot of waiting (FROM 23 MAY) this is what i got from my service center
" AFTER SERVICE REVIEWS AND SOFTWARE INSTALATION DEVICE REMAINS WITH A LOADING / DAMAGED MEMORY CHIP"
"The phone is stuck in EDL Mode due to improper use and serious damage from all sides. The same after a service overview and software installation could not be turned on or raised (shows no signs). The service order states that if you want to service, you will be offered an offer to change the motherboard. Greeting"
After that they tell me this"
"Otherwise, changing the motherboard with a working hand would be around 182 USD. Greeting"
i don't have that money it's too much expensive for me so i'm without any phone....

Windows 10 Pro, QFIL latest (2.7 or so), I used the latest stock ROM (tissot_images_V9.5.11.0.ODHMIFA_8.0) provided by Xiaomi.
I can only recommend to extract a ROM to a path close to your volume root, for example D:\Temp\tissot_images_V9.5.11.0.ODHMIFA_8.0.
By using deeper paths you'll probably get errors. Flat build. :good:

I used the drivers provided by QFIL. Btw. flashing a flat build by QFIL recreates the partition layout, it really doesn't care about two system partitions.
Flashed EDL mode when I went back from treblizing earlier without going back to stock partition layout in first place.
Qualcomm Flash Image Loader handled it flawlessly to restore the standard gpt provided by rawprogram0.xml .
