I hope you made a backup before,just do a[ recovery,Backup/Restore,Nandroid restore ]
after that reboot and you are all set...(BTW if your phone even try to boot then is not bricked,a bricked phone dont do anything at all)

Hi!, thanks for the answer!
I can't, because the bootloader is broken. Finally i found the way, i re-locked the boot loader and flash again after relock.
Thanks!!

[Q] Bricked Galaxy R

My Galaxy R was bricked after I updated it to ICS (official). The update was unsuccessfull and phone rebooted. Everything was fine, my phone still had gingerbread. Then it got bricked after 1 week (dont knw why).
I followed this thread for unbricking but before flashing the ROM i flashed CWM recovery:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1706572
But in the middle of the process my device got disconnected from the PC and I ended up with a bricked phone. Now m unable to get into APX mode. When i plug the device into the PC it gets stuck on charging(no animation for charging also).
Is there anything I can do to recover my galaxy r ?
EDIT: M unable to boot into CWM reocovery and Odin gets stuck while setting up connection(flashing).

U hav no other option but to go to service center buddy.. They'll replace your motherboard and flash official ICS also.. Hope your phone is still under warranty.. Give them some reason like u removed data cable without checking "Safely remove" in your PC, it got restarted and bricked..

I was able to boot into Download mode using the USB Jig and flashed the stock GB firmware . Now the phone is working fine, only problem is the IMEI number.
I didnt have the /efs backup before bricking my phone, so is there a way to recover my IMEI number ?

Without the backup, there's no other option but the SSC.

Will SSC replace my mobo or will they just configure the IMEI number ?

I went to SSC today, they were unable to repair the IMEI number. Is there any other alternative, I can try out ?
Have you done the factory reset with GB Stock ROM... It may help...
Edit: Before that check efs partition is available and files are present inside.. using terminal emulator or adb...

Buddy they found out that i rooted the phone through the generic IMEI number displayed (004999XXXX) even though the counter was reset. They were like OMG, I am a criminal lol, how can I root a phone. It was of no use talking to them, previously they were compelling me to buy a new mobo when I bricked the galaxy r :laugh: .

I am using FileExpert and I can see the nv_data.bin and nv_data.bin.md5 files. In the process of unbricking the galaxy r I did flash the stock indian GB and did the factory reset, now its displaying generic IMEI.

Such a big company can not say like this and try to sell the new products to customer ...
Go to this like and send Email to CEO's Office..
Don't tell him that you have rooted and lost IMEI, tell him some story..
Gys I followed the guide to root my phone with CWM recovery but there is no root access. Root checker gets stuck and busybox says problem with root permissions. I can see the superuser app, dont knw what is the problem ? I just need to backup the /efs folder.

[Q] Installing ROM on MTK6575

Hello,
I'm new to flashing and installing ROM on android phones.
I enabled root in this phone.
I wanted to install JellyBean 4.2.2.
After a long search on the internet and a lot of trying I decided to open a thread here.
My phone is Star N800 MTK6575 with Android 4.0.4.
When I tried to install ROM through recovery mode it showed me this:
"Failed to verify whole-file signature"
I tried to install ClockWorkMode Recovery without success
SP flash tool and Odin also disappointed me..
Could anyone help me please?
Maybe I did something wrong, can you please explain me step by step how to upgrade this phone?
Please help me, every answer will be appreciated.
Thank you!
I think I found the problem.
When I plug in my phone in the usb, when it's turn off and without the battery, I see it in the Device Manager appearing and then disconnecting.
I tried to change the Power Settings but it didn't help. Anyone faced this problem in the past and knows how to fix it?
Dont alter the zip,
in cwm toggle off the sign verification,then try flashing..:thumbup:
SENT FROM MONSTER ! ! !
HIT THANX OR I WILL JUST
CRY...
I don't have CWM, I have a regular android recovery mode..
I can't flash anything with it..
HELP ME PLEASE :crying:

[HELP] Bricked downgrading from v30c to ICS official, one more brick

Solved. please delete this because i dont know how i do it
I needed some one that could be on chat or on teamviewer or something pleeease. i need this fixed for tomorow :S
i can enter fasboot and also recovery. just not download mode and i cant restart phone, no OS

I hard bricked my phone plZz help meee

I have an Sony xperia e3 d2212 running stock recovery n ROM 4.4.2 also stock
I rooted my phone using kingoroot.apk n switched to SuperSU using supersume pro.apk
I have no PC access so I still have a locked boot loader
Today I found a link to an app named EZ unlock.apk which said it could unlock my boot loader I installed hit unlocks asked me if I wanted to unlock my boot loader I hit yes n a msg saying boot loader unlocked piped up in seconds
Den I took cwm for my phone from XDA n tried updating my recovery using mobile unclemtk tools n wen I selected the recovery.IMG it got switched off n hasn't turned on yet led notification is also not working
I tried connecting to a PC it don't recognize my device
My mistake was the cwm was for Sony xperi e3 d2212 running stock 4.4.4
I flashd it on my 4.4.2 that must have caused the bricking plZz help me it isn't even booting in fastboot
Since my phone got bricks I'm pretty sure that app must have unlocks my boot loader other wise it would have booted normally as I tried flashing the same cwm b4 using the same tool
PlZz help me
Thanks in advance
Hope ugot a clear picture of my problem
First, everyone who wants to help you would appreciate some appropriate use of the English language. You don't have to be fluent or anything, at least just write properly.
Secondly, I would recommend trying first the Sony PC Companion to restore everything, if it doesn't work, try using the flashtool with XperiFirm to download the appropriate software and flash it. Here is guide on using XperiFirm
pc isnt recognising
