yes I can read, I was trying to figure out what you were saying. I know there is a language barrier, but damn!! "Guys Help Me.i Need To Brick My Phone"
Why do you want to brick your phone?
you spelled my nickname wrong lol.
OK, first ..i don't want to help you brick your phone before i'm convinced yo cannot repair it instead.
If you want help, please do the following and report back what you have found.
1. Reinstall Active Sync
2. Reboot your PC
3. Turn OFF your phone completly, pull out the battery , insert it back
4. HOLD the CAMERA button and PRESS the turn on button ..it should take few seconds and you should see the BOOTLOADER (3 colour screen)
5. Plug in the USB ... you should hear a short sound and that's it.tho not necessarily.
LEAVE IT LIKE THAT, don't try to turn it on or anything !!!
Next step differs with your phone.
IF YOU HAVE G3
* Start the Rom Upgrade Utility of the T-Mobile 2.26 ROM
IF YOU HAVE A G4
* Start the Rom Upgrade Utility of the Wizard Love Rom

LOL... That would void the warranty though as they can detect water damage.
I don't know if this will do much, but find the thread on unlocking the extended rom. Then go and screw around with stuff in there (or I think TotalCommander lets you get to it alos and will corrupt it if you try to write to it). Then hardreset your phone. While the main os will be ok, your extended rom won't work to do the phone setups. Not sure if thats enough, but its a thought...

or u could just flash anichillus' rom it should brick..
.
just try messing up ur ipl spl but if ur with tmobile make up a lie they'll send a new phone
hmm...what happens if you try hard resetting the phone (comm manager, voice recorder + dot on the side) and pull the battery out here and there while it's in the process? maybe that could mess up the os installation or something to get things looked bricked?
or try using wm5torage, make the phone memory writeable, and see if you make it look like the phone is busted...but then again a reset of the phone fixes that solution.
maybe also try overclocking your phone to something high...maybe try to burn out the processor?...keep the phone in warm place at the same time?
alternatively, try banging the phone on the ground a few times...a bit hard...try to put some padding around the screen...but if you bang enough times...maybe the it'll eventually shake something loose from the internals of the phone...
btw, if the mini usb doesn't work, how do you charge the phone anyway?

Unless he has UNLOCKED it!!!! AHHHH!
But seriously if the USB is broke the battery will die... they won't be able to charge it.... they should replace it. Are you worried they will try to repair it?? then just flash your OEM ROM.
Will they check to see if it is UNLOCKED?
it is unlocked.and i already send it.i used total commander.i wiped out half of the windows,,now when i start there is nothin in the menu that shud do it rite?
GOOD Luck!! Let us know how it turns out!!
At the risk of adding to this deception, I don't know of any carrier that even thoroughly checks the phones that come back. Just send it in. You'll get it replaced, I'm sure.

hi, i flashed the tnt .1933 rom yesterday evening.. after the setup was complete.. the phone application wouldnt wrk,every tym it goes in stand by, i havta to take the battery out to turn it bak again..it doesn't turn off at all.. havta take the battery out.. doesnt go to bootloader.. while tryin to reflash it .. it jus sits there.. n freezes.. a messege in computer comes sayin..utility error or sumthin.. doesn't read my sd card..
All in all it jus made my phone completely useless..
NEED UR HELP!!!!!!
First off, YOU (and you alone) chose to flash the ROM. MANY people are using that rom with little to no problems, so don't blame the rom or the cook (you message to me implies this) that your phone has issues due to something you chose to do.
Second... Posting stuff like "utility error or sumthin." is worthless. How are we supposed to help you debug something when you can't even tell us what it really says? Sorry but my crystal ball quit working a long time ago.
Third... You haven't told us anything about your device. What's your IPL and SPL? Did you CID Unlock or are you doing this with Shelltool?
Fourth... Put the thing in bootloader. Take the battery out. Then hold down the camera button and turn it back on. Once in bootloader then flash an official rom (Not another custom) to clean it all up. Then try going back to a custom.
To me it appears you had a bad flash. I think a lot of people here don't follow the instructions about that when you start a flash DON'T DO ANYTHING ON YOUR PC WHILE ITS FLASHING! Walk away for 10 mins and let it do what it needs to do. Even sending IM's can cause a flash to screw up (I've had it happen to me).
yes it is CID unlocked.. i was using NBD 8.3 before i tried to flash this rom.. i aint blaming no one.. i jus need help on how to fix it.. if it went to bootloader mode i wouldnt be posting a sos..but it doesnt..
So i was just wondering if there was some other way to get it to bootloader mode..
spl.. and ipl.. are2.xx
thnx
use search, and look for "force bootloader"
i just reached home.. and was trying to goto bootloader mode again.. i took the battery out.. it is fully charged. it made a beep sound once.. n whn i take the battery out.. the screen blinks once.. b4 going out.
Thnx
hey, my mda doesnt even turn on anymore after i flashed it with a bad rom, do u guys think its the battery but the battery was fine when i flashed it but then it doesnt boot to the window, so i took the battery out and put it back in and it doesnt turn on anymore.. i tried the camera, rest button and other stuffs. and when i flashed that rom the it changed my G4 spl verison, it was 2.26.xx.xx, now it added "i" after the numbers and changed it to "2.21.xx i" ..do u think my phone is bricked? or i should def. get a new battery and try it out? even though if i buy a new battery do u think i can still flash it back to the offical rom or love rom wizard.

Basically what you need to do joco is take the battery out and leave it out for a few hours then try to boot your phone, its worked for me and if you are trying to charge it use a mains charger not the usb lead,the usb lead just doesnt charge the phone unless there is some life left in the battery.
but my phone is fully charged.. i just want to flash my old NBD 8.3 bak to it, but i cant.. it doesnt go in bootloader mode.. at all.
i downloaded wizard setup tool.. to make it go to bootloader , but it still doesnt go..it also says. DOC write protected..
my phone was CID unlocked . and sim Unlocked. but in wst. it shows.sim0000000000001 LOCKED
i also downloaded, loziwiz to unlock the CID,and the sim, but the same results..
the phone doesn't even turn off.
thnx
after number of times. hard resetting my phone.. finally it works.. fine.. yea i cant flash another rom..nd it says sim and cid locked for some reason.. but atleast i can use it now.. hope ur phone wrks.. tooo
thnx everyone whu helped.

To perfomr a Hard Reset :-
In this scenario the common solution is to do a hard reset,to do the Hard reset.Press and hold the comm manager button and the voice command button,while keep the two buttons pressed,and at the same time,use the stylus to lightly press and hold the Reset button,the phone will reboot and ask for confirmation,accept it and phone will do a hard reset.check if it helps,otherwise,most probably,its a bad flash or the the extended_rom is corrupted.Reflash the official carrier's rom to clear/correct the extended_rom or reflash the TNT 19209 touchflo ,do this with getting into Bootloaders (Tricolor screen),hope it'll work.
the first solution dont work, in the second i press the reset button it resets and still have the problem.
the other solution i dont understand. my phone cannot connect activesync so i cant flash a new rom.. if thats what you tried to say
ultimate solution is with me
if everything fails the i will request u to send ur set to me...by some chance when my set stuck the last time i had a friend in o2 service centre and he took my phone and flashed a new rom in 2 hrs. let me know if that suits u.....mail me at [email protected] and i will get it done for u

Be a sport,don't start posting the same request and offering your service to everybody and in every thread, requesting them to send their phones to you for repair,you know it yourself its not feasible and practical.If you have a genuine solution,why don't you start a new thread and post the procedure alongwith the software you claim you have to revive a phone in this manner,if you honestly intend to help and do a service to the community. According to your name and email ,I presume you are somewhere in India,do you think,its viable to send all the phones from all around the world to you for repair,NO kidding !!! I don't mean any offense towards you though !

Activesync will not work in this situation,but if you are able to get into Bootloaders (tricolor screen) its possible to flash a rom,and you don't need to activesync to perform a flash,infact when you start a Rom to flash,it automatically cuts off the activesync all by itself even in the normal condition,so don't worry if the activesync doesn't work now,just try to get into Bootloaders mode and flash a rom.
how can i get into bootloaders mode?

Press and keep holding down Camera button and at the same time Soft reset or
Camera Button + Power on the phone,it'll take the phone into Bootloaders mode (tricolor screen).While in Bootloaders, Hook up the phone with pc via usb cable,watch small usb appear at the bottom of the Bootloaders and run the RUU,it'll start to flash the Rom,ok
if everything fails rememer me........but be fast and stop trying all hanky panky things on ur device it can damage it further........

Could this have something to do with the NAFT Rom I was running.
Above the message I see the windows logo in the upper left and then the word Start - but nothing works when I click on those. In addition when I try to sink to my computer it does not connect, so I can not explore using ActiveSync or even going through My computer. I am stumped on what to do?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
Same here, Just stopped working a hour and a half ago, (12:00 AM EST 03/01/09)
I am running a custom radio and RRE Fuze Edition.
Same as above. Why the hell do developers even put this **** in.
Guess your having the same problem as the guys with ROMeOS with the 21009 build...
It was leaked so it was beta, and ms put a timebomb in it. You need to install a new rom from bootloader.
I'm not using ROMeOS, I have RRE Fuze Edition. (Well it may be, I frankly don't remember what one it was. Thats what displays on that start)
Is there anyway to not lose my data?

Yea what I meant was apparently its also affecting other roms because they all used the same build (21009) in their rom. Anything on your phone is gone. I THINK the sd card is safe
****ing ****, why the hell do devs do that.
Ya SD card is obviously safe, but last time I did a backup was like a month ago (Ya i know...)
God damn this sucks.

Yea your going to have to install a new ROM buy downloading it and then putting the rom onto the root of your sd card. make sure the rom is RAPHIMG.nbh (and you only need the .NBH) Then hold vol down and reset until the tricolor screen comes up. It'll scan the sd, find the rom, press power button to flash.
Hope it works for you
P.S. dont forget to hard reset when your done!
P.P.S they most likely didn't know that this was a beta build that ms had put a timebomb in. Just another one of the reasons that people should really take the whole "flash at your own risk" thing seriously

how do I put ROM on the root of my sd card. I can not see the card on my phone because when attached it does not recognize the phone at all.
Hard reset after flashing? How come?
Sorry that im not more technical, ive had this phone for months and yet ive barely messed around.
It's just always recommended to hard-reset after installing a new rom. It's basically to ensure that you won't have any bugs or such.
Make sure you do it at the right time though! Wait until you get to the "Tap screen to setup device" screen. Then hard reset, which in case you didn't know is vol down center button, and reset until the tri color comes up, then vol up to reset

A hard reset is just most likely just going to result with the user having the same out-of-date rom as he did before, resulting in the same message

You don't need the adapter. Just put the phone in bootloader mode by turning the phone on while holding the volume up button and flash like you normally do. This is how I usually flash so that I can skip all the activesync junk.
Hope this helps!

what I have done is hard rebooted and reinstalled factory defaults to at least get the phone working. but after coming back up with the default settings, the phone automatically reinstalled NAFT's ROM, which then put me back at the crashed message. going to try again.
This is my first post at XDA. I don't know if I am in the right section. Kindly move the post if required.
Problem
1) I had my Optimus One running CM9.
2) It made my phone slow. So, I flashed it back to CM7.
3) It had some problems, so i was foolish enough to move it back to Gingerbread instead of restoring to CM9.
4) This is where my phone started acting strange. It was getting into a boot loop.
5) I then tried to fix it using some tools I don't remember, but since then it has been dead.
The phone is dead. The phone won't turn on. Not even in emergency mode. No response when charger or USB is connected. It just wont turn on.
It was about 4 months ago when I bricked my phone and had lost hope. I have now known it's hard living without an android.
Please let me know how i can fix this and revive my bricked phone.
Some of you may have a good laugh reading this. But I already have tears in my eyes.:crying:
I dont remember what all i did to my phone in order to brick it. So, please help in whatever way you can.
Thanks to everyone in advance.

It's an LG phone right?.. I also agree to Repair at the service center of your phone.. I recommend that because it's hard bricked.. When I was a newbie and accidentally soft bricked my galaxy pocket (bootloop) I bring it to the samsung service center I thought it will coast some bucks but it's free, they just reformat my phone for One hour and it's now fixed.. but now I use Odin for reformatting my phone using stock firmwares..

How to get into download mode? I dont really know if it would go into download mode.
Hmm , hopes are less but lets go on with the basics .
Did you try changing the battery ?
I don't think the download mode would work either but try doing the following :
Plug in the USB cable and wait for the charging screen to come on.
Now Press and HOLD the following Keys in the same order: Return Button, Volume Down Button, and the Power Button.
Let go off all the buttons when you first see the LG logo.
Then install cm9 again with odin .
If none works then you either have to go with a new phone or maybe a simple part of the phone has become dead . If it's under warranty get it replaced / repaired .
i recently got into rooting and setting up my phone for new roms but im still new at it. i ended up bricking my phone to the lg screen with the blue swipe across the screen. my computer will not register the driver to use recovery flasher. i need help. anyone wanna help out a noob?

i tried to use nv flash but no matter what i do i cant seem to make my phone register in the usb driver. if i could make it register i would be able to flash it then.
Did you try using the kdz updater? it's a tricky method, but if you follow the guide properly you should be able to get it going

Never mind my last post, you need to be able to boot into a rom to use kdz updater, it's been a while since I had to do this kind of thing.
I'm pretty sure you only soft bricked your phone (i.e. it still turns on) and the only way, that I know of, is to use nvflash. I've had the same problem before, there could be many things that are causing the phone to not be recognized by your computer. Follow this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=17258229
when you plug the usb into your phone make sure the audio on you computer is loud enough for you to hear that "usb recognized" sound. If you don't hear it, or it does not get recognized, try using a different usb port on your computer, believe me that actually worked for me a couple of times. Also, make sure you follow the steps very carefully because if you use the wrong button combination, or release the buttons too early, it won't work.
I wish I could help you more, but that's all i've got.
Good luck, and if by any chance you get it fixed, don't try to root your phone using any root tools, simply nvflash cwm recovery and flash your choice of a custom rom, that will automatically give you root privileges.

every time i look at my apx driver it always tells me to troubleshoot but it always says driver not installed. ive downloaded the same driver in different posts just to make sure but nothing helps. Wireless shops are useless. I live in vegas and there isnt a single store with a person smart enough to figure it out.lol. ive given my phone up for days at a time to shops who brag about "WE CAN FIX ANYTHING" they lied. well i guess im going to search for a few more hours on here to get some kind of lead. thanks for the help. if you kknow anything else or figure something out i would appreciate the help.
Have you tried this stuff?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1619932
It sounds to me like your pc's jacked up the driver somehow. Try plugging in the phone with the battery out and holding all 3 buttons, go into your device manager and uninstall all the USB drivers. Then reboot and try following the apx driver installation procedure again.
Sorry if you tried all this stuff a million times already.
I would say the two things that I would focus on would be to first fix the drivers on your computer. I downloaded mine from the LG website. Next is to flash CWM Recovery so you can flash a rooted ROM to your phone. I would go back to the thread where you got the instructions to start flashing and ask the same questions but only after reading the whole thread. There the orig. developer might chime in and you'll have more specific answers focused on your specific issue.
It's true your phone isn't bricked and have patience and you'll get it fixed.

well i have all the drivers needed. and the computer is fine but the phone is not. i mean the pc doesnt quite read the phone right. with that being said i dont know how to flash cwm recovery to a phone my computer cant read. im running windows 7 64bit and all my usb drivers work fine.
CWM = Clockworkmod Recovery (everyone remember this is a newbie).
Important question: Did you do a backup before making any changes to your phone?
Also, try this: remove your phone's battery for 30 seconds. Put the battery back in. Press and hold the volume down button, then press and hold the power button. Hold both buttons. First you'll see the white LG screen, then wait, when you next see the blue LG screen wait ONE second (no longer) then release the buttons. Tell us what the phone does then and what the screen says.
Have you tried taking out your SIM card and micro SD card?
Usually right after I take them out and plug in my phone while holding volume up and volume down... it usually works after that.
Yup, that's my problem. No matter how many USB ports I tried it still wouldn't read it until I took out the SIM card and micro SD ;p.
Try this on for size...

Sounds like you are having the same the issues i was having with my phone why dont you try this..... First you have to flash a custom recovery image for your phone, follow all the procedures exactly then once you have flashed your CWM Recovery ( i. e. Clockworkmod recovery) Once you have installed that properly, you can now flash your new custom ROM and that should help to fully reboot your phone back to recovery for you to start using again....... hope that works for you.......just as it did for me have a good one!!... :fingers-crossed:

He can't flash anything to his phone -__- that's the problem we are all trying to solve.
May sound stupid, but have you tried different cords? Maybe your USB cord is bad. Just a thought.

@op can you give us screenshots of:
A: what your device manager looks like when you plug your phone in not in apx mode.
And
B: When it is in apx mode.
To do this: right click on my computer>properties>on left hand side, click on device manager. Hit print screen, open paint and tell it to paste. Save and upload here.

well i brought it to two shops and were both unsuccessful. wireless toyz and smart fix. i have it back and it goes to the lg screen. and instead of the second it flashes from black to a very dim gray back and forth. when i hold the power button along with the volume down it does a master reset and i can press the home button then it takes me to a screen to delete cache partition and what not and you move up and down with the volume keys but i cannot select anything. i think i really messed my phone up.
Somehow you got stock recovery. Google for howbto do a master reset, on devices like the nexus tablet at my work there's a series of steps needed to do a full reset/restore. Just booting into stock recovery may not give you the option. As well, please post those screen shots as I said earlier, this way the issue with the USB can be troubleshot and maybe we can get you a fully working phone with CWM.
