[Q] Atrix 2 soft brick topic

Hi all,

I have an Atrix 2, where the phone wont boot up without a charger. And even if its connected with charger, it only boot to motorola logo, and shows battery level before goes completely blank.

I heard flashing the firware again using RSD lite, with phone connected to PC with fast boot mode will fix this, but I can't disconnect the charger from the phone, and booting the phone while its connected to USB wont work.

I can boot into the OS when going to bptools in recovery mode tho. Can any one help?

Thanks in advance.

[Q] Hard Brick i5s topic

Long story short i tried to partition sd card to increase internal memory. I knew i might screw up, so did a Nandroid back up as well.
So as predicted after the partition my phone went into a boot loop, so i went into recovery mode but clearing caches did not help (android system recovery 3e).
So Tried to flash the stock rom (update firmware). I have no idea what went wrong but SP flash tool showed everything was fine and the whole process was complete with a green tick pop up as well.
So after that the phone did not reboot/start/.. :crying:
Im pretty sure its hard bricked. But everytime i plug the USB to my phone i hear the windows notification sound??
Can anyone please help?? I bought this online and sending it back is not an option.

PS: The phone has a light adapter (like iphone 5s), SD card cannot be removed, Battery cannot be removed.
I have the complete rom with me. Model MTK6572 RAM512MB. Not original goophone.

[Q] Did I brick my phone? topic

Hey all,

I just updated my i777 to the latest i9100 SlimKat weekly & RenderBroken's kernal. It was great for 2 days then...

I was just downloading an app from the Play store then the phone randomly shuts off. Now it wont reboot (it gets to the boot animation then eventually shuts off)

I can reboot to recovery (twrp 2.6.3.0) and have tried:
- clearing cache/dalvik and rebooting
- flashing kernal and rebooting
- reflash rom then rebooting
- factory wipe/Mr Cook's cleaning zip then reflash rom

Whenever I try to flash a rom in TWRP it either stalls out (does nothing for like 15 min before I pull the batt and try again) or just shuts off. I've tried two diff roms.

Sorry if I didn't search well enough; I'm trying to get this figured out during my lunch break.

Thanks everybody

[Q] Something maybe between Brick and Bootloop topic

Anyone who can answer,
I own a Swipe Legend. Its specifications are listed below.
I last did 2 things due to which it may have happened.
1. I was using ROM Toolbox Pro to change my font and backup old. I didn't like the new font so restored my old one. But there were too many fonts in the backup, so I thought they were in different uses. I selected all and rebooted. My battery suddenly dropped to about 25% from 48% during changing font some minutes before, and the brightness of pre-boot image was high, I plugged it during that image. Rest is in 2nd reason why I think it could have happened.
2. I put it on charger, forgot it and slept. Later after about 4 hours or so, I did unplug it but it is not working since then. However, this has happened a couple of times with me.
I hope you can help.
Problem: Sorry for not stating the problem first, but I am putting in sequence of time.
Whenever I start it, I can do just 4 things:-
1.See the pre-boot image
2.See the boot animation(the reason I can not show it, as it shows that my phone was rooted. Other reason is that the 1 year warranty is over)
3.Go to the recovery mode
4.See the 'Android is upgrading....' screen
After the 'Android is upgrading....' screen, it goes back to boot animation, then back to the 'Android is upgrading....' screen, and finally after some time screen gets off and I can not turn it on, although I can turn on light of the buttons by power button. Screen gets on for battery notification, and I can see the 'Android is upgrading....' screen. I can always take it to recovery mode, but can not switch it off once it is on so I have to wait for battery to finish. So it may not be bootloop, because that happens just 1 time when it goes back to boot animation. It is also not bricked, as it can do the 4 things.
Solutions already tried:
1. I have hard reset the phone at first.
2. I tried adb and fastboot but they do not recognize my device, maybe due to resetting of USB debugging option after the reset
3. No ROM or CWM is available on my phone, after searching and even using Goo manager
4. I tried removing the SD card after reset, but condition is same
About the phone:-
Name: Swipe Legend
Model: Alps hexxing77_ics2
Android: v4.0.4
Memory: 4GB ROM+32GB SD+512MB RAM
Processor: 2x1.5GHz Dual core(But I think it to be 1GHz dual core due to analysis by apps like Pi)
Screen: 7 inch
Pixels: 800*480
Status: Originally rooted, but maybe root is lost after reset
Already experienced reset: Yes, but it was not rooted by that time
USB Debugging: Was on last time, but maybe offed after factory reset
More details: I can not get the links but it can be searched on amazon or a site like naaptol.com.(I'm from India so don't know any shopping sites of other countries)
If any detail is missing, you may ask.
Please help if you can

[Q] (URGENT) LG G2 VS980 soft brick (No ROM or Recovery, only download mode) topic

I have VS980, with some version of PA 4. I hadnt updated it in a while so i downloaded the latest zip and tried to flash it with twrp. (i dont remember the exact version, but not 2.7) For some reason i suppose twrp didnt like to play nice with 4.4.3 and failed to something about updating binaries. I'm not sure what it was, doesnt really matter now though. That sorta messed up the rom enough so that it would never boot. it would get to the boot animation, but no further without intervention. So of course i was like "i gotta update my recovery!!" but alas i tried to flash it using adb and now twrp wont work, it only comes to a black screen. So i have been able to find no way to get into fastboot in lg g2 and i cant adb while in recovery and i have no ROM to work with. All i have is download mode which has (according to me) rendered my phone useless. I have been scouring the internet for hours trying to fix this with Download mode, perhaps with odin, but it's only for samsung devices i think. I have exhausted my mind and options and I am completely dumbfounded. If someone could shed some light on this it would be awesome. Before i take it to verizon to play stupid haha. All help is appreciated. I am a semi noob when it comes to this stuff, or i suppose really nooby.

I have been personally going through a lot lately and i cant handle this right now and i feel really bad but i really need help. all help is appreciated.

Brick when I close the keyboard topic

I use this rom for a week: ROM: cm-11-20140308-SNAPSHOT-M4

Today, three times my Relay is crashed.
When I close the physical keyboard, the smartphone is turned off and will not turn anymore. It is bricked!!
Coincidentally I found that by opening and closing the keyboard works and I can go on.
In the last case, smartphone would not turn over and I've unmount. I've reassembled and the smartphone is turned on again.
What can I do? it is the fault of the rom?

thanks for the answers

Soft Brick after failed 4.3 OTA topic

I've been running 4.2.2, rooted, SafeStrap'd and SuperSU. Today, I went back to stock ROM (I switch back and forth, between stock and Hyperdrive), I forgot I had rebooted during a forced update for 4.3. Well, update finished downloading, and automatically went to install, of course, with my phone, it always fails @ 29-30%. Phone went to start back up, went thru the SafeStrap and stayed at the AT&T logo. Pulled battery and went to SS, and activated Slot 2 (Hyperdrive). Phone just boot looped thru the SS and then shut off and so on and so forth. So I tried to do a factory reset, and that failed. So I tried to restore backup, in SS and that failed. I'm thinking that even though the 4.3 update failed, it somehow put enough of info, into the bootloader, to change it to a 4.3. I'm going to try to ABD MF3, then MI2 and if that fails, ML2.
Just wanted to give you a heads up....seems AT&T is hellbent on pushing this locked down update through.

[Q] Alcatel One Touch Pop C5 soft brick topic

Hi everyone,

I have an Alcatel One Touch Pop C5 (Alcatel 5036D). I made a backup in stock recovery before I installed the Xposed framework. After the installation i did a reboot but it stuck at the boot logo. Then i restored my backup but it didn't work, the screen just turned black, so after an hour i restarted my phone. Now I can't do anything, i can't even get in recovery (but it is a soft brick, i can still see the boot logo). I guess i will have to flash the ROM again but i'm a newbie (I installed some customs ROM's before but not on this phone), and no custom ROM's are available. Does anybody know what to do? I would really appreciate your help! :)

[Q] Restoring CM11 NANDroid After Brick topic

Hi guys,

I tried searching for it but can't seem to find the answer.
I made multiple backups (on the SD card) using CWM while on CM11 before I tried to flash a custom kernel.
That kernel soft-bricked my phone. To get my phone working again, I used flashtools to flash a stock ROM.

Question: At what point can I restore using the backup made?
Can I restore as soon as I have CWM on my phone again or do I have to have cyanogenmod on it again etcetc

Cheers

Verizon Galaxy S4 SCH-I545 Soft Brick topic

I am having an issue that I was hoping someone could assist with. I have rooted devices before, galaxy s3, motorola droid x, and the original droid and have never had any issues.

I had the verizon model I545 galaxy s4 and MJ7 build. I used saferoot to obtain root and safestrap 3.71. I also installed ODIN 3.07. I was able to boot into recovery mode just fine, create a new ROM slot and install RLS14. My wifi would not work until I also used safestrap to install jfltevzw-MJ7-modules. At this point everything worked fine. No issues for 4 days and was loving the ROM. I could use safestrap to reboot to recovery no problem. But then I let it lose power.

Upon plugging it into a charger I found that it would just show the empty battery sign and then reset and show that symbol again. I was unable to get it to boot properly. I used the volume up key and saw the blue text "booting recovery" but then it just power cycled and came back to the empty battery sign again. I tried all combinations I could think of but couldn't get anything to work. I was however able to use the down volume button to get it into odin mode so decided to flash emergency stock recovery.

I then used ODIN to install the stock ROM (SCH-I545_VZW_1_20131023084910_v4vth34m5z_fac.zip) and the install finished correctly but I am still having the same issue. should i re-partition as well? I have the relevant .PIT file.

I verified all checksums on my downloads before using.

Any thoughts? I'm not sure what to do next because I was assuming the factory wipe would work. I can provide any other information.

[Q] HTC Sensation stuck with Android Kit-Kat after brick topic

Hello,
I have a HTC sensation, that i started rooting and install a custom rom - Kitkat from sultanxda.
All worked perfectly, only that one day i wanted to make a sim unlock, because it was locked in Vodafone Romania.
By mistake, i am not an expert, i've used the comand: fastboot oem writesecureflag 3
After this i've got my phone bricked...
I've found Unbriking projet on xda, and with a Linux I have managed on unbriking.
The problem is that now i have S-ON, and i cannot install another ROM, it works only with the ROM that wass installed before bricking.
I cannot get S-off, i have tried Juopunutbear method, but its not working, says to connect the device, and install drivers...
I have tried a lot of method's, i've tried installing a stock RUU, without luck...
I guess that i have to modify my firmware or hboot version, but as I was saying, i am no expert.
I can provide more information, if anyone can help me.
thanks

[Q] [BRICK] X10 Mini bricked, won't turn on after successful flashing topic

So a couple of days ago I managed to brick my phone...
It's back said it's 11W39 and I found out that I can open the bootloader. managed to do it without getting a brick. I installed a custom recovery and tried to flash a ROM. It was good for my phone, double-checked it, but on the first start I got a bootloop. So I've taken it apart and disconnected the battery manually. After each dissconnection I can enter flashmode once, but if I already have started the device it won't react to anything until I disconnect the battery again. When I try to start it it only vibrates and the green led lights for a sec., but the screen stays balck. Not even backlight. I've already flashed the stock ROM with both PC Comp. and Flashtool. Successful, but it won't turn on unless I put it on my computer and let it start itself. But it can only start in Safe Mode...
Any suggestions?

[Q] Potential Brick =( topic

Hey guys,

I had a look around the forum found some similar issues but nothing that fit exactly.

I am stuck with my note 8, in an awkward position, I was flashing a new ROM onto the device, it was having some issues doing it (It wouldn't work, Would always fail) was using Odin, and the Note 8 toolkit. I was changing the recovery from CWM to TWRP and then it all went bad, now i have some firmware error come out whenever i turn the device on, I can still get into download mode, but nothing else. I tried using Odin to flash the stock ROM or even a recovery back onto the device and it fails every time. I also tried using Kies to do a firmware restore, it downloads the firmware then it can't see the device.

Any help would be great =\

Thanks =D
