[Q] How do you know your phone is bricked? - General Questions and Answers

I was just wondering just in case i run into problems and so i wouldnt freak out lol

If your phone didn't connect on flash mod and can't recognize any application such as flash till and pc companion and can't get xrecovery and cwm.then you can fix that phone bricked
Xperian8~ click thanks if it helps...

When can't get into recovery it is softbricked. And when you can't get into download + recovery mode it is hardbricked.

It doesn't turn on.
If it does turns on and you have no access to recovery/downloadmode and your computer does not recognize it.

New srock Moto G Stock not rooted. Initially I was only using WiFi and I was getting update notifications for Kit Kat which I was able to delay. Subsequently I have aded a sim card and service and now it shows update is currently being downloaded. How do I stop Kit Kat from being installed? If there is no way to abort the update will I be asked if I want to install once the update is finished? TIA.

Once the update is downloaded you'll be asked whether you want to install it. Unless you root your only options is to delay the installation by 24 hours.
If rooted you can freeze the ota app with titanium backup.

Tell Google that, not us.
it's annoying for the system to be asking everytime if i want to update, it even says i dont have enough space to update and keeps asking. I heard of stopping motorola ota will solve the problem, untill now it has.

I, like you, wanted to stop kitkat from updating over the air from ATT so I called them, they said there was nothing they could do, but to call Samsung. I called Samsung, they said there was nothing they could do, call Google.
Well, I didnt call Google, but I did find a work around, and that consists of clearing the android cache, and now I am not being nagged to update on a wifi connection by ATT. Actually, I am not being nagged at all at this point.
Here are the instructions for clearing the Android Cache: (as told by a Samsung Employee)
Zabrina: Please follow these steps:
Zabrina: 1.Power the device off (remove and re-insert the battery).
Zabrina: 2.Press and hold the Volume Up key and the Home key, then press and hold the Power key.
Zabrina: 3.When the first boot screen displays; release only the Power key.
Zabrina: 4.When the Android system recovery menu displays; release the Volume Up and the Home key.
Zabrina: 5.Navigate with the Volume keys to the wipe cache and press the Power key to select.
I hope this helps you

Stable ROM?

Gave my mom my old Transformer a year or so ago. She had issues and I had to fix/flash the ROM again. Long story short, I had to revert back to stock. Since then, having problems finding a stable ROM. Would like KK, but JB would be fine as well. To many SODs and recently, a message about encryption failing and my data being lost.
Anyway, any recommendations on something stable? I have been out of the loop with ROMs for the transformer.

Wipe cache and dalvik.
If that still doesn't work, install all over.
Do the wipes, install Rom, install gapps.
After install immediately wipe cache and dalvik and reboot.

That is no fun.
So you did factory reset, clear cache, format system, format cache and clear dalvik.
Install Rom gapps and after that cleared cache and dalvik?
If that doesn't work I don't know why it loops.
I feel sorry for recommending this Rom.
I really never had any problems.

Coming from a complete factory reset as well. TRying some other ROMs but no go.
I think you might have loop bug.

It was not really a boot loop.

Tried that, didnt work.
I ended up using the latest unofficial CM10 build a page or two back in the other forum. That doesnt have any problems and is stable. My mom wont notice the difference as long as she has her kindle app and email.

Marshmallow has something called DM-Verity meaning you have to run a modified kernel that disables this so you CAN have root
And you NEED a unlocked bootloader to run a custom kernel
