I think I just bricked this phone.

Posted this in the UPGRADING section but it may be better suited here, I'm not completely sure.
So I think I just bricked my dads vogue.
I followed the instructions in the HOW TO FLASH YOUR VOGUE thread as best as I could and now I'm in a rough position. He's been ranting about the WinMo OS almost since he got it and wanted to try Android so I tried to flash it.
What's going on:
Blank (black) screen
Backlight is on
Orange status(?) LED
Unresponsive to anything
Powering up yields a green status LED, one buzz of the vibration, call & end keys light up then it reverts to the above. Takes 1 or 2 seconds.
Plugging in the USB gives me "Found New Hardware: Data Interface" but I don't have the drivers or w/e is required to install it.
Any one able to help me? I figured this should be pretty straight forward but it's turning out to be a nightmare. :cries:

After you flash the android rom, you have to load a system image and data image into it. That may be normal.
Note, I have not flashed mine to Android, but it seemslike your missing the next step in the process.

This may help...
The bottom may help with the bricking and the top may help with android.

nope it isnt bricked just reflash windows and use android via haret...sounds kernel related

With advice from the other thread I'm in bootloader(?) mode
But that's as far as I got.
oh man I'm in trouble said:
So I've gotten back to red/green/blue/white striped screen but nothing will read the phone/let me flash anything to it.
Screen says:

Ok then...you will need to flash another rom. Verizon, is a pain.
Here is NFSFANS ROM windows 6.5
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=432487
The files from this forum will contain a program called ROMUpdateUtility. Run that in boot mode. Then run NFSFANS verizon provisioning. all files are on that forum. Just remember...Your device is not bricked (as it sounds). You could brick it though. So be careful. You may wanna get advice from a Verizon User.

At this point, I'm throwing everything I think I know or understand out the window.
That said, can you walk me through the process starting at the bootload screen?

Yes, from a Sprint stand point though.
-download NFSFANS ROM
-Extract all the files from NFSFANS ROM to a new folder.
-Enter BootLoader
-Once it loads up plug your phone into your computer
-In your new folder there should be like 10 files...one of which say ROMUpdateUtility. Click and run that.
-Follow all the instructions on it.
-When it finishes...your phone will auto reboot.
-Once loaded up, Download Verizons Provesioning from NFSFANS ROM (you will find the link of the download towards the bottom of the first post NFSFAN has posted)
-Connect your phone to ur pc and put the Verizon Provesioning Cab on your sd card and install it.
-Restart your phone.
That should work.

Thanks a ton, I'm 35% into the RUU.
I'll keep everyone updated.

Please help! Galaxy S6 Bricked. [Solved. Thanks Koop1955]

Hi guys, Ive searched and searched, but couldnt find anything that worked for me, so I apologize if this has been answered before.
I attempted to root my GS6 Sprint phone, and something has gone wrong. When the phone reboots the touch screen doesnt work at all and it doesnt find any cell signals.
I flashed to S6-UniKernel_v6-0001-ODIN, the firmware on the phone at the time was 5.1.1.
I tried to flash back using G920PVPU1AOCF_G920PSPT1AOCF_G920PVPU1AOCF_HOME.tar. but I get "FAILED" every time.
So I tried to install twrp-2.8.7.1-zeroflte.img, and that seemed to install fine, but I cant reset because even in TWRP I have no use of my touch screen.
I am using the samsung cable, and it does go to the Downloading mode, but as soon as I click start it fails.
Anyone that can help me fix this I would gladly paypal the cost of a six pack. (Mods if this isnt allowed please let me know)
Okay so here is what fixed it for anyone else like me that is a noob, and does dumb stuff to their phone. You cant roll back to old firmwares. You have to flash to the latest firmware that was on the phone or newer. I found the updated firmware and its good to go.
koop1955 said:
Minor correction. You can use the version that you started with or a later version. The only problems come if you try to use an earlier version, like going from 5.1.1 back to 5.0.2. Which won't work.
Here is the latest version available, should always work: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24269982087002159

Thanks for the reply Zooklok, I did use Odin, and I didnt change any settings.
So checked boxes under options are;
Auto Reboot
F. Reset Time
Thats all. I clicked "AP" to load the firmware, then clicked start.

Hello.. Assuming your phone is already rooted. Pls follow the below procedure
1. Restart and let the phone biot. Plug in your usb and insert a new for installation purpose
2. Hold and press power+up+home button to boot into recovery
3. Format and reflash the new rom
Should works like a charm

Okay so I grabbed the lastest ODIN and was able to go back to the stock recovery. I performed a wipe/factory reset, but it still wont let me use the touch screen! ARG! It didnt clear the new kernel. Could it be because Im flashing to an older firmware? I cant find 5.1.1 anywhere...

Is the a Galaxy s6 or a S6 edge+ of edge+ you've been flashing the wrong firmwares, which would explain the issues you're having

Try a different cable or usb port or redownload the firmware file as it may be corrupted.
Press thanks if I helped.

You're on the wrong forum. This is for the Edge+. You have a S6. Not Edge, not +.

Firstly, I do not know if your phone came default with H2OS or OOS. So I will give you the route you need to choose if the default OS on your phone was OOS (Oxygen OS)
OOS
First take your phone back to default stock using this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-2/general/guide-official-op2-stock-reset-to-oos-3-t3402020
Next unlock your bootloader from the developer options.
Then reboot to fastboot and flash TWRP Hybrid Version 3.0.2.0 [Search in the General Thread. I believe i have seen it there]
Lastly, follow the guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-2/general/rom-hydrogenos-v1-2-0-sensors-t3264711 for H2OS

Try method 1 in this link. it will install Stock recovery, On there you can install Oxygen OS. If you need any help Message me.

Well, you shouldn't ever download anything from sites which have similar name to some ROM but it's not officiall site, in most cases that are sites who just want visits without actuall content. Also in ROM file name there is 64bit and AFAIK none of K8's have 64bit kernel. Next thing recovery they provided is over 16mb in size, that is a recipe for getting bricked in best case it will refuse to boot/flash, also kernel offset ramdisk offset are wrong according to my model (k350nds), that is also good recipe, I didn't check the kernel but I doubt it's right one, I'll unpack ROM just to see what is inside.
When you download ROM please use only trusted sites.
Edit: this is ROM for Tecno camon c7 its same chipset but it doesn't mean it is suitable for our phone. Whoever created this and said it's for k8 is an first class A-hole..

If you flash it then the phone will not boot up just turn off after the warning message. Its becouse the recovery partition is checked during boot up so the lk (little kernel / bootloader) partition should be tweaked first to skip recovery checking...

Yes, but that zip only tweaks the boot image... (and it doesn't even work for our device)

then, first we need to get rid of the little kernel, so we can flash twrp and just then we can think in porting a lineageos rom for it?

Well if we get rid of it completely it will probably won't work at all, we need someone to alter function that checks if kernel or anything else is legitimate so that function always return true. If that is how it work.

Corrupt Update on Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 8 inch T330NU

I rebooted my tablet as I do once a week, and it got stuck in a boot loop, and will not load. I've researched and the best I can tell is that there was an update and somehow I interrupted it or it was corrupted. Either way, I am stuck.
I've done a factory reset, and it didn't help. I use Fedora 21, and loaded adb and tried to sideload five images, all official samsung android, and I keep getting the error Footer is wrong, signature verification failed.
Can someone walk me through this, I'm not dumb, but I am extremely rusty with commandline. Break it down barney style for this old vet.
Thank you all

They are a lot of site to learn how ti use it. You need to flash the stock rom. You have to download the stock firmware of your tab. After follow a step by step tutorial on internet if you have too much dificulties ask me
