help me out!

So you cannot even get into the bootloader?

I'm having the same problem...No bootloader...Nothing :crying:

Nexus S GT-I9020T Bricked
similar problem here. i took the batery out while the phone was booting and cant switch it on now.cant get in to fastboot mode (power + vol up).
i tried AdamOutler's UnBrickableResurrectorR40 tool (http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1397393). it didnt detect my phone, so i made the hardware mod recomended by AdamOutler ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1566475). Now it detects the phone and it is able to load the modified SBL.But the phone still stays dead.
why dont u guys try the tool and let us know how it goes... cheers

yes,any mod can't in.

similar problem
My battery fell out while my phone was booting. (Bought a spare battery and it didn't make great contact and the phone turned on and then lost contact with the battery while it was booting.)
I've tried multiple battery pulls, charging both batteries, plugging it in and unplugging it, different chargers... Nothing works.
I bought this phone used without a warranty so I'm screwed for just taking it back to any store to get it fixed and I can't afford to buy a new phone. :/
Gonna try that Ubuntu fix when I get home but as for now I have no idea what I'm going to do to fix this phone... >_<

Reviving my bricked P500

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..
dumeds away,
I assume you searched the forum already, but maybe you didn't try this yet:

try putting it into download mode and connecting to the computer and checking with odin.i

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 .

Hi
I dont want to take your hope...but if you have allready tried to:
Press button combo for bootloader, button combo for download mode...remove battery and nothing worked...no google logo at all
The PC didnt recognize the device ....same fastboot/adb...no charging sign..
So the display stays black...you have the same issue like me.
I have had same a few weeks ago..and some others too.
Only way out is send it to samsung for warranty-repair.
In my case the mainboard and the nand where changed because the´re messed up.
good luck
S.R.

[Q] Phone isn't turning on

Hey, guys!
First post from me in this forum, although I have been searching for some things for some times.
So, the problem is that I had Cyanogenmod 7.2 on my LG P500 for couple months. And ROM was working ok, but there was some problems and I thought I should get back to stock ROM, because actually it was working better and smoother. So, I searched for stock roms for my phone, found one and started to flash. Everything flashed well, phone booted up and then wave of errors started to come. So I thought that it ain't gonna be usable and tried to install a stock rom through official LG Updater, which obviously wasn't a good thing to do. everything, downloaded, installed, phone booted up and I was waiting with hope that it will boot up (android loading screen at least was showing), but it didn't happen. After that I managed to power phone off with getting battery out and then I tried to fix everything with one tutorial I saw in this forum with kdz updater. but at the begging it couldn't connect with my phone and after that screen showd Emergency Mode. nothing I could do, again took out battery to power it off and now phones doesn't show any signs of life.
What does it mean (maybe my phones is same as brick) and what should I do?
I would appreciate your help.

when your phone is in emergency mode then it will connect to the kdz updator
and then flash ur rom
ok, but there's no way I can turn my phone on now. or is there way to get to emergency mode?
U might have bricked ur phone. Bring it lg service centre and say that it was bricked while updatong the stock rom

Plug in the wall charger for about an hour, and then try the buttons - press power button+ volume up button + back button together
keep pressed all three for long duration (maybe 8-10 secs you see yellow screen with written Emergency Mode). Then you are in Emergency Mode.
If no screen yet, then bricked - only LG repair center option.

[Q] Galaxy Ace 2 does not boot at all after firmware flash

Hi, I am new at this forum and i would like to ask you the following question.
recently i bought a samsung galaxy ace 2 phone and today i decided to try a custom ROM with, being a Linux geek for years...
So i chose Kyrillos Rom for my phone and after several failures i got to understand that before i try to load the custom ROM i had to upgrade my firmware and kernel as described here :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1955679
So i used Odin tool , and tried to flash the new firmware as described here :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2118119,before proceeding to kernel flash.
Everything went smooth , Odin showed 'pass' indication and my phone after the procedure tried to reboot...and never woke up...
From then i cannot boot my phone at all, i mean neither in usual mode by pressing the power button nor in recovery or download mode. It does not respond to any of those, the screen and the buttons are completely black no matter how many seconds i press them
When i started the procedure my battery level was at 70% and just to be sure i connected it to USB port so as not to empty the battery during the procedure..Now that i connected it to its' charger it does not show the charging indicator
Any ideas as to what happened and how i can fix my problem?
Thank you in advance and keep up the good job!!!

It seems that i followed the exact directions in the posts mentioned, but my phone is I8160P and not I8160 something that i had not noticed up until tonight,so i think that it has something to do with this, even though i cannot understand how my motherboard died because of the firmware upgrade even thw firmware is made for another model...

it does have everything to do with that but it seems more like a hardbrick to me so does the phone charge or have u tried a lot of times to boot it or maybe pull the battery out for 5 min then put it back in and try to go to recovery or download if none of these stuff work then i think its dead

Yes i tried both normal boot pressing the power button and recovery - download modes and it did not power on in any of those cases. Also i tried pulling out the battery for 5 - 10 minutes and it did not power on afterwards either.Is this something that happens often because it seems really strange to me. If it has nothing to do with the firmware upgrade and it is a hardware issue then ok, i can sent it to repair it but if i have already lost the warranty due to root and firmware - custom recovery etc.. then what exactly do i have to do..

i don't think they will know since the phone won't boot up at all they know by going to download so give it a try and take it to a service and if ur in europe rooting does not affect ur warranty hope this helps

Hi,
I think your phone is bricked.
If it can show anything on the screen. Try also recovery and download mode. Your phone is soft bricked. There are lots of guides on the internet to unbrick your device.
If nothing is happening using any key combination your phone is dead.
thank you
thank you. but there is no key that helping. its not torn on... how i know what part i need to change?

Try to put your phone into the download mode (google for it). If it is possible to put your phone into the download mode, you can flash the stock ROM for your device again using Odin. Just look at google for some guides to do this.
If you nothing is working and you are sure the battery is charged. There is nothing you can do about is...
Hope this is helpful.
