after login. i try to Flash my NS with ICS
PowerButton + Volume Up, Then recovery Mode , Volume Button and Power Button then install update.zip
the process actually done !! but after i choose reboot, my phone going to brick ...
all button isn't work
Help me.. how to Unbrick??
Thanks

Any Buddy can Help me?

I don't know how exactly your phone is but first please pull out the battery and then put in again to make sure it is not just a freeze. If the phone is stilled died just plug in to computer to see whether it works.
I think it will be better to flash the ICS directly after you flash the 2.3.7 official. You don't need to get out of recovery.

download 21a from the link and the all package content this guy has provided when you have done so..
Take out battery and put it back in hold up and power until your pc starts intsalling drivers install them and then follow the guide..

hi, this is the exactly method i followed. the only thing i didnt do was press the volume up when i turned the phone on. it detected my phone and i started the procedure and rebooted my phone etc then when it started up again and was about to update, the phone decided to reboot and it messed up the procedure.
charging my battery to full now before trying again hoping it might help :-s
fixed
all sorted. managed to get into cwm after trying a dozen times. turns out you dont need to use the 3D button. Its just power and vol down until lg logo appears then let go of power button but keep pressing vol down.
phew, that was close.

[HELP] Bricked phone

Hey please experts help me with my galaxy 3 i just bought one i had it 1 day, battery was discharged and after i charged it i got bootloop I tried many roms and i always got : bootloop, boot screen with GT-I5800 or screen Kernel panic upload mode. I cant go into recovery mode i dont know hy it dont works (its vol+,vol -, home, power isnt it?) I cant root it i cant do anything. Anybody have some ideas what to do or its bricked? If its important i can still go into download mode and flash it using Odin thats all i can do with this phone. Pls heeeelp.
P.S.
Its not like that i dont red the forum i sited here many hours and still i didnt find solve of my problem. I guess i am too dummy ;/ I will be graceful sboody ?: (
Here comes help!
Welcome to the forum, btw
First thing you should do is hold on a little bit.
To solve your problem try to get to download mode (VOL-, HOME, POWER, then after phone turns on, release power) and flash Kyrillos' ROM (FROYO - v9.0) - fire up odin, tick one package, select tar and flash it. AFTER the flashing ends, you should boot up to recovery (CWM recovery for G3MOD kernel). Here, navigate through menu using VOL+, VOL- and navigate to "Wipe data/factory reset" option. Now press HOME button to confirm. Navigate again to Yes, press HOME again and wait till its done.
Now Navigate to "Reboot" or something like that - its the first option in there. Then press HOME again. You should see the phone rebooting and then displaying the bootanimation - it lasts for aprox. 10-20minutes, so don't panic!
If this wont solve your problem, give me more info
- New or used phone - THIS IS ABSOLUTELY IMPORTANT TO KNOW BECAUSE IF YOU HAD NEW, YOU HAD 2.1 FIRMWARE ON IT
- Did you wipe data/factory reset phone
- What else you tried?
- etc, etc...
There will be solution somewhere... I'm sure. But post the result after trying that.
PS: here on xda is a little THANKS button... Use it instead of "THANK YOU" posts. (Just in case you didn't know)

Thank u very much man phone was used but it had 2.1 stock firmware on it, i didnt wipe/ factory reset on phone, and i didnt't tied sthing else.
Now tell me after flashing Kyrillos' rom v9.0 Do I have flash kernel with CWM or its in Kyrillos already? How to enter CWM recovery mode ? Same as normal (VOL +, VOL-, HOME, then POWER) I did thank u cuz it sounds logical what u wrote thank u man and I am waiting for reply.
CWM is pre-installed on Kyrillos rom. To boot into CWM recover just turn the phone on, hold the power button until a menu comes up and in the menu it will say recover. Press recovery to go into recovery mode.

I did flashed kyrillo's v 9.0 and and after flashing phone just stay in boot screen and nothing happends. I cant do anything again. Do root is needed to flash ROM's cuz when my phone crashed it wasnt rooted and now i cant root it cuz computer only see it as Modem and composite device mode ;/ I dont know what to do.

Turn your phone off by pulling the battery out. The put the battery back in but don't turn the phone on. Hold the volume up + volume down + home button + power button and as soon as the screen turns on, let go of the button. This will take you into CWM recovery. Then, in recovery, select wipe data/ factory reset, then wipe cache and then wipe the dalvik cache. These options are all in recovery and are easy to find. Then reboot the phone and it should work. Also you don't need to root your phone to flash a custom ROM.

You probably have confused Samsung galaxy 3 with Samsung galaxy S3 because this phone (Galaxy 3) Hasn't menu that you can boot to recovery/bootloader with. At least I dont know about such "menu" thing.
---------- Post added at 03:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:01 PM ----------
----------------------------------------------------------------------- SOLUTION! ---------------------------------------------------------
@KamelusPL: You said that you cant boot after flashing Kyrillo's ROM v9.0. And you had Android 2.1 and you couldn't boot. That means you have been in hurry to get things really fast done and flashed FROYO ROM WITHOUT BOOTLOADERS OVER 2.1 THAT COMES WITH ITS OWN TYPE OF BOOTLOADER = bricked.
HOWEVER, there's a solution! yeah!
This is a bit risky, but if you want your phone working again, you must do that. I'm saying again, I take no responsibility over such things.
1. Put your phone into download mode. This must be working.
2. Download this file: http://hotfile.com/dl/132526357/46bd186/I5800XXJPS_OXX_Android_2.2.rar.html
3. Open odin, tick ONE PACKAGE, in the down right corner click ONE PACKAGE and select .tar file you downloaded. ITS WITH PROPER BOOTLOADERS - FROYO XXJPS. That must work.
4. Click start. NOW DO NOT TOUCH YOUR PC until its done!
5. Wait till its done and wait till your phone boots up.
6. If you will have still bootloop, then you must boot into recovery (YOU MUST WAIT... RECOVERY WONT SHOW IMMEDIATELY just like in download mode... wait man.), here navigate using the same keys I told you before, and select wipe data / factory reset, then select yes and wait till its done. Then, navigate to wipe cache partition, select yes and wait till its done. Then, select reboot system now and press HOME.
7. This should be working!
This menu! Recovery is the second last option and I have a galaxy 3...
Edit: also I would recommend doing what the Guy above said. To boot into download mode you hold volume down + home button and the power button. :thumbup:

Hold vol up+down and power and home button when the phone is off and let go of the power button once you see something on the screen.

Wait, so when you bought your phone yesterday the battery was discharged? So you didn't check if it was working or not before you bought it? Maybe you were scammed into buying a broken phone
--------------------------------
Click thanks if I helped.
Any other way to enter the recovery? I'm afraid not.
Maybe this has somethig to do with flashing CUSTOM FROYO ROM over 2.1. Because Kyrillos' ROM's kernel converts filesystems to other ones than the stock RFS that is used by stock samsung roms. That means the phone after flashing stock rom directly after some custom froyo roms dont recognize the partitions in different filesystems. So you must wipe data and cache partition to get the phone to recognize theese partitions again.
After that, the phone will boot. BUT YOU MUST BOOT IT TO RECOVERY AND WIPE DATA SOMEHOW.
This is really wierd... If you can go to download mode, I'm sure this can still be fixed somehow, but the stock froyo rom should boot into recovery anyways...
Have you tried getting to recovery when you first saw the phone that its not booting? I mean at the beggining of this problem if you had still 2.1 when you got the phone? Because wiping data from recovery on 2.1 should have solved this problem I think...
EDIT: HERE IN XDA IS SOME FILE - zerofill.tar THAT IF YOU FLASH IT, YOU PROBABLY GET WIPED PARTITIONS, but not sure... TRY THAT - I think rkoby13 has posted this file somewhere... Try to PM him...

U have absolutly right that they to solve this is enter recovery mode but i think my problem is deeper i found something on my own. Look.
If your GSII has the folowing symptoms :
Bootloop
Stuck on GSII logo, but already removed the battery to try to fix it
Enters Download mode and Recovery mode
It means that you are soft bricked and is easy to solve.
But if your symptoms are the mentioned above, PLUS the symptoms below
Enters Download mode but does NOT enter recovery mode (usually means a NAND rw corruption)
Doesn't flash
Bad flash in odin (FAIL after flashing, or the flashing suddenly stops)
It looks like I must use all my brain power to solve that i guess i need to go deeper into android stuff cuz i wont give up. I even gave my phone to service but seems like that dude is lame and he is not so much expert like i need i send message to Kyrillos cuz i guess he knows all bout androids and all that stuff and thats the person who i need some1 very good must see my topic guess i will just read learn and w8 for help thank u all for advices
After watching your youtube video I am confused. You try to get in into recovery, but don't even wait 10 seconds before you remove the battery?
Before you start make sure the battery is not empty or even broken. Charge until it reports full.
Battery out for a while, remove charging cable. Then battery in, press Vol+ and Vol-, add Home, then Power, as soon as something appears onscreen let go all three. Then WAIT. What happens?
If it stays on the GT I5800 screen for longer than a minute on a stock Eclair AND stock Froyo (from twinky's advice), you probably have a serious hardware issue. Did this device you bought ever work properly for you? That's important. If you really bought a phone that you never saw working, it's most likely hopelessly dead. If it worked, and showed the reported error after a day, there might be hope.
edit: I had countless bootloops/flash FAILs/tons of FC after 1st boot/corrupted FS... don't give up! As long as download mode is still accessable, it's not dead yet!

Dude u rly think i am so stupid?
Phone was working when i bought it i suspect that some sort of application crashed it( i guess taskkiller), i did tried to take out battery for longer time even 1 day ... And i did tried to hold buttons longer
Its bad flash that has made the situation...
Flash zero fill.tar which will clean your system
Flash again a rom using 'Forced download mode' ( vol+, home, power button)
Note: you should restart your phone by keys when its still on after zero fill flash using the force download keys.

Sorry, I was just telling from the video. But a software like taskkiller cannot mess up the whole phone in a way that prevents access to recovery.
Try cleaning the ROM like in above post and then flash a bootloaderfree stockrom. That should leave you with a perfect situation to start all over again.
Hi,I don't know if the word "bricked" or "drowned" is the best match for my case,but anyways here is my story:I had installed on my phone the kyrilos rom,I don't remember wich version excactly it has been too long before.My phone fell into a glass of water,I pulled battery out,dried it up with hair styler,after that it had some water marks on the screen and it was working quite good,I re-flashed it abd worked better,the watwr marks on the screen dissappeared and got better...but...my girlfriend reebooted accidently in recovery and it dropped dead,froze,I pulled the battery out,reebooted,and after that I am stuck in phone's logo and it keeps loading nothing ..forever..and I can't even boot to recovery mode..any ideas?I've searched in this blog and I couldn't find anything to do..please help me..

[Q] Have no ROM and no recovery

Hi,
I need an urgent help as my phone is down for 3 days already and i can't found any solution that works for me.
My problem came up when i was updating kernel and applied the reboot right after it.
The phone did not woke up anymore.
I ran into emergency mode and updated KDZ to v10E.
Then i ran to LG software updater and ran an update.
I got the FW v10F and seems that original ROM was being installed.
I do see when loading the logo of my original ROM, but thenit changed and stuck on "android" logo and that's it.
2 problems:
========
1. i don't have recovery on my phone
2. seems that the ROM can't load
Is there any way to get out of this situation?
Home + vol down Then power button.. keep holding those buttons.. it will reset your phone!!
Might help!!!
If not, you can use this to make sure you have the correct stock ROM file, then flash using KDZ flasher.
You can also use Android Flash Recovery to flash custom recovery from your computer.

[Q] Bricked motorola xt910? Need help please!!!

Hi there, thanks in advance for your kind support on the overall aspects of android development.
here is what i have done.
i wanted to update my motorola xt910 with 4.0.4 ics to CM10 (CYANOGENMOD)10
So i get the cm10 rom and google apps on my sd card
And installed the clockworkmod recovery 5.8.4.5 black edition
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1751826
then i made the procedures after install the apk
after that i reboot in cwm and make a backup of the existing rom
and reboot the phone.
then i dowload the rom manager from the app store, install it and select the right recovery 3.+++ for the razr reboot the phone .
then i went on rom manager and enter in clockword mod and install the rom cm 10 (after i installed it i remember i should wipe data and cache) so i after installed cm10, i wiped data and cache, and right after i installed again the cm10 rom and google aps, without even reboot or leave rom manager app, after that i rebooted the phone and the only thing it shows me its the M logo on start.
I cant go to fastboot either, doesnt recognise the rsd lite.
And it only "boots" if its called that way if i hit power + vol up + vol down. but then it only appears the M logo for a few seconds and then the cell it turns off (i guess). it was with a fully 100% battery when i did the procedure.
Any way to solve this?
it detects when i conect it to the pc, but it doesnt show anything, only the sound that some usb thing is conected and then disconected, no card showing nothing, just the sound.
ANY HELP WILL BE GLADLY WELCOME!!!
THANKS

I have successfully manage to UNBRICK IT.
here is the procedure i have done:
1-plug it in motorola cable and put the rsdlite on
2-plug the usb on the computer (you will hear the sound of some usb beeing conected but nothing else)
3- hit the power buton + vol up + vol down several times until it appears fast boot
ex: you click it now see the M logo, and then you hit it again on power + vol up + vol down, all of this with the cable conected to the pc and the rsd lite on.
4-after it entered on fastboot mode, you will see a black screen with some white writing on it
5-get a fastboot xml of your rom (in my case brasilian one) and flash it true the rsd, wait wait wait until the process finishes and dont disconect or touch anything. In my case it took about 15 minutes with several stops and bootloops on the same procedure, but i successfully manage to bring it to life.
Note this method will only work if you have enough battery on your phone, if not try to buy a factory cable to charge the battery via USB port and then try it on.
Remember to charge 5% you will nedd to get it on the usb about 15 minuts or so, if you plan to do this procedure i will hardly advice you to leave it about 5hours to fully charge your battery and you get the job done without any other issues.
Thanks to all and i hope this thread will be helpfull to others too.
