[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

[Q] Cannot flash Galaxy S4 GT-I9502?

Hey Guys,
I am trying to return a Galaxy S4 Duos GT-I9502 back to stock, for someone who attempted to root the device, which failed. I am however experiencing some difficulty doing so, and would appreciate some help, if anyone has any suggestions.
This is the screen on the device:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I am able to put the device into download mode, though I keep getting this error message when I try flashing the device in Odin.
"Complete(Write) operation failed."
When attempting to flash the device, it quickly goes through boot.img, recovery.img and system.img (when it should take longer for each step, and you should see the little green progress bar move), before failing. Does this mean that Odin is having issues writing to the device?
I am pretty confident that I have the correct Samsung drivers installed, and I have tried completely closing all of the Samsung Kies processes on the computer. I have even tried using a different computer, and two different ROMs.
I have tried flashing the below ROMs:
I9502ZNUBMG2_I9502CHUBMG2_CHU
I9502ZNUAME3_I9502CHUAME3_CHU
I have also tried the 'Firmware upgrade and initialization' option in Samsung Kies, though I keep on getting this error message, before it closes (I do not know what it says, Google translate doesn't give a good translation).
"Binary files are not registered U.S. Congress gyeongmu mouth mid-sprocket
Bow can proceed
Please check the binary file registration myeobu"
Does anyone have any suggestion / idea of what is going wrong? Any help would be highly appreciated!

Never mind, I was able to resolve the issue by re-flashing CWM recovery!

same problem
i have exactly same problem with I9502ZNUBMH4 version , does anyone know how to flash this device because i tried 100 time with different versions of odin , and every time i failed repaird it with cwm .
oh and the device won`t do a full wipe , every time i full wiped it my files didn`t deleted ?!

Samsung S4 GT-I9502 root / flash failed - HELP
Hey Guys,
I tried to root my Samsung S4 GT-I9502 (OS Android 4.3), for that I found this website:
http://marrkdaviid.com/2013/08/fix-caller-id-install-google-play-on-the-galaxy-s4-i9502/
But it failed (see more Information below) and I had the following error message and no wifi.
"Complete(Write) operation failed."
When attempting to flash the device, it quickly goes through boot.img, recovery.img and system.img (when it should take longer for each step, and you should see the little green progress bar move), before failing. Does this mean that Odin is having issues writing to the device?
I live in China and I just bought the phone, I needed 5 days to download the necessary files, because most download pages are blocked in China. So I am loosing my last nerve right now.
I am pretty confident that I have the correct Samsung drivers installed. I don’t have Samsung Kies installed. I have even tried using a different computer (Laptops), and two different ROMs.
I have tried flashing the below ROMs:
I9502ZNUCMG2_I9502CHUCMG2_I9502ZNUCMG2_HOME.tar.md5
I9502ZNUEMK3_I9502CHUEMK3_I9502ZNUEMK3_SVA.tar.md5
Someone with a the same problem tried the 'Firmware upgrade and initialization' option in Samsung Kies, but it didn’t work, so I didn’t try. (Here the link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2382979)
Instead I tried a recovery. I used Odin 3.07 and the following file:
i9502-cwm-recovery.tar.md5
I got my phone back to work for a while, I reset the phone, just in case. But know I can’t switch the Wifi on and the phone wants to Reboot.
So I allowed the phone to Reboot, I clicked on “reboot system now” and then on “Yes – (I forgot what was written behind the Yes, but I didn’t just click on the normal Yes, I clicked on the Yes - …)
The problem here: The Phone changed to a China Unicom Screen and stayed like that. After 5 h I took the battery out, but I couldn’t restart the phone.
So I did an cwm recovery and know I am afraid to reboot. The Wifi is not working and I can’t find any information about how to fix it.
So please help me. Do I reboot? Can I already install SVA ROM, although I couldn’t flash the Stock Firmware? Do I send the phone back and give up?
Please let me know if you need any other information to be able to help me.
PS: This is the first time that I flash a smart phone. And although I already spent several days now, searching the internet for how-to-dos, tips & tricks, guidelines, Q&As and god knows what, I still do not fully understand what exactly I am doing here. Hence, I would be very happy to receive somewhat easy understandable answers.
Thank you so much for your help!

Philz 6.00.2
I have a similar problem.
I tried to install philz _touch_6.00.2-i9505.tar, by uisng Odin 3.09
Everything went OK. I got PASS! and my Samsung S4 i9505 rebooted into the stock ROM
However I cannot enter Philz. I tried to keep pressed volume Up + Home + Power but the phone goes immediately into the main Samsung screen. I have tried many combinations...the only working combination is:
volume Down + Home + Power > which leads to download mode (for Odin)
Thank you for your suggestions!

Errors while trying to update LG-E612

So I got this phone off a friend and I factory reset it which all worked fine, then I thought I would update it before I got to far. I have not had any success, I have even scoured the forums and the internet without any success so I'm hoping that someone with some experience may be able to assist or point out something I am missing. The phone is stuck in Download mode - I can't get it to boot to the rom at all.
I have a feeling there may be corruption on the phone - You'll see why a little further down, however I cannot be sure.
I am stuck in Download Mode

I have tried every method to get the update to work that I can find.
I started off by installing all the LG apps and Drivers. The phone is recognised from what I can tell.
I downloaded a couple of stock roms
When I open LG Mobile Support Tool - It says the software is up to date. When I go to 'Options' the only option I get is 'Update Recovery' which I chose and let it download and start installing. Once it gets to 4% is stops. I have pulled the battery and tried over and over again but it keeps stopping the update at 4%. I have even tried removing the battery completely and continuing the install but the same thing happens.
So I tried this over and over with no success. I tried with battery, without battery, I tried getting in Emergency Mode with no success. I tried booting into the OS with no success. So I continued surfing looking for answers.
I found KDZ and thought this might be the missing piece of the puzzle, however this kept crashing every time I tried loading info from the phone and even when I skipped that and just tried installing the ROM.
And the data in the log file looks out of place...
I played around with this hoping to get it to work, but I couldn't. I tried CDMA and it kept failing and it wouldn't even attempt to install the ROM.
So the next one I gave a shot was LG Flash Tool 2014.
This is the only info I can get to pull from the phone.
I am out of options and I'd really like to get this sorted without having to send it off for repair. I see there is an IMEI error - Does anyone know a way for me to repair it?
Any suggestions or experiences you can share that may help would be really great.

I haven't viewed the images, but try this
-Goto download mode.
-Open KDZ updater
-Select the kdz, select 3QCT (something like that) and DIAG (forgot the options, its been long since I flashed a stock ROM)
-Flash the kdz
-KDZ updater will crash, it is quite normal
-Do a hard reset (remove battery, put it back, vol - + power + home, when it vibrates remove power and hold on vol - and home for another 5 sec)
-Hopefully, it should boot..

Make sure you have drivers installed BEFORE conecting the phone.

[SOLVED] Can't boot, can't boot recovery, oem locked, usb debugging disabled

Happened when I was updating twrp:
I downloaded the .img from their website, booted into my older version of twrp, went to flashing pressed the butting in the bottom right corner, selected the file and selected 'recovery'
Said it was successful, so I rebooted, then it wouldn't do anything anymore except for fastboot.
1. Can't boot into recovery
2. Can't boot normally
3. USB debugging disabled
4. oem locked
Only thing I can enter is fastboot.
I followed this guide, but no luck on my end.

Have you tried this?

and
All in one toolbox by mauronofrio.
I my self had lost recovery myself and flashed stock image in toolbox and then flashed image from above link to restore to stock and started custom rom process again.
Should not erase twrp once recovered if it has reflash your previous version of twrp or hybrid version.
Hope this helps.

It's no use because oem is locked. That means I can't flash anything.

toolbox should still help you unlock bootloader again

Just use the Qualcomm factory restore image to return the phone to original shape of things.

I have no idea how I would do this without being able to flash anything.

Do you mean that the Qualcomm download program also crashes like fastboot? Sounds like you either have some problems with your windows installation or perhaps you haven't searched for and downloaded the Qualcomm restore if your still trying to flash the ordinary way instead of the emergency way.

Was able to fix it when I was messing around. Not sure what I did but it worked.
Thank you for all your help guys

I'm having this problem too, and this isn't helpful. What were the last steps, or at least some of them, that you took to get it working? Which toolkit/script/program were you using? etc

Literally JUST finished with this guide, and my OP2 is alive again! I was going to come back and post. Thanks for the link.
Anyone trying to use this guide without success:
There's one very important step I somehow missed. You MUST disconnect your phone, hold the power button for ~15-20 seconds until it's off, and hold the Volume+ button, THEN plug it back in. Your computer will make the "device connected" sound, but the screen will stay black. THIS IS OK! That means you're in a special recovery, which is where you need to be for the tool.
I also installed the certificate file in the folder I downloaded, then rebooted (it did not work before a reboot, but did work after).
So, the steps:
1. Download the files, make sure your signature signing for drivers is off.
2. Install the trusted certificate, then the driver.
3. Reboot PC
4. Power off phone (hold power for 15-20 secs), hold volume+, then connect through USB (wait for device connected sound, screen on phone will still be black)
5. Run the tool (I ran as admin, not sure if that's required)
6. Weep with joy that you finally found a solution that works.

Nexus 4 - wiped internal storage & pc wont recognize phone so stuck in recovery mode

Nexus 4 - wiped internal storage & pc wont recognize phone so stuck in recovery mode
before i start, i would like to say that my last experience with android phone, rooting and other stuff related to android was last october 2013. please bear with me
i posted this exact texts below before before i gave up on my nexus 4. now after 2 years, im ready to get frustated again. so here it is
----------
my problem started after i updated to oct 7 cm10.3 nightly. my pc and my mbp cant read my nexus storage.
searched for this problem and found some few n4 users that experienced this but my main problem is there is no android device listed on my device manager.
i checked for all possible solutions:
- uninstall driver on device manager and reconnect the phone to install the driver automatically (but theres no android device listed)
- changed the storage settings as to connect to mtp
- restore factory settings and wipe data
- tried different data cables
- changed my rom from cm to pa
- restart phone
- push adb but device not found (but my pc doesnt recognize my phone)
- turned on/off usb debugging (still cant read)
then out of frustration, i wiped my storage data completely
so now, i cant flash any roms, no files found on system
i cant push adb because my pc cant find my phone even in recovery and device manager, even in USBDeview
but the unit is till charging
i sent it to lg and they said the board was the problem and the replacement was expensive so i gave up and bought another phone
----------
google released pixel and i began to miss my n4 so tried to recover it
the condition is the same 2 years ago. placed it in storage after got frustrated
so anyone has an idea?

If the phone is recognized in fastboot mode, flash TWRP, boot into TRWP, mount storage, copy a custom ROM to the phone, and flash from TWRP.
As an alternative, you can flash a stock Google ROM if fastboot commands are working.

Hey!
Maybe it's just a minor "hardware problem". Did you check if there is any lint between the micro usb connector-plate and the back (see attachment)? Mine caught dirt and lint over time. With a thin but sturdy piece of plastic I could remove the dirt again, and suddenly all my cables started to work again.

thank you audit13 and smeee_again for your replies. ill look into both of it!

Phone should be recognized in Bootloader mode anyway, try different drivers, then fastboot flash stock and re-root
Optionally, boot into recovery, connect cable and go to mount options then mount usb storage, put any ROM in storage and flash it, the trick is it shouldn't require specific drivers as storage via recovery shouldn't use MTP but generic USB connection (like pendrive) as far as I know.

If you don't want to root and install a custom recovery just download and fastboot the Fake Nexus ROM which will give you a stock experience really easily and also it will be Nougat . Check out the thread for how to install it, it's really easy.
