Guys - I need help. I think i just blew my phone.
I flashed THE Sense-O-Maniac ICE ROM after a clean wife and my phone wouldn't boot. It kept getting stock on the Beats Logo. So I rewiped everything and reflashed this ROM. - Same result.
I then thought, maybe I should also update the firmware, though I am pretty sure, that my firmware was up to date.
So i reflashed the firmware on phone but it still wouldnt boot.
I took the memory card out and deleted the the firmware file so that I could not flash another rom. But when I tried to boot in Recovery my screen just went blank.
JUST BLANK
When I switch my phone on, I get a blank screen. The screen does light up though, but nothing shows.
If i connect the phone to USB, then the screen again lights up, even without the batter.
Has my phone gone poof??? Please help.
clean wife.
and why do u keep reflashing sense o maniac? why not try other rom?
Did you update your kernel or tried to use backup or install just old ROM, so far it doesn't sound bricked but just something missing, what was your previous ROM?

try "adb reboot recovery" continuously when booting the phone, ignoring all of the "error: device not found"
Boot while holding the volume down key (meaning power btn+ vol-). that should take you to the boot loader. once you're there, go to fastboot and flash a recovery image. you seem to have corrupted yours.
I had the same troubles with that rom.

I have already tried this continuously. No result with pressing boot with holding the volume key at all!! If I could do that, I knew i would be fine.

i have been trying to do this for the past 10 mins, but I cant get anything.
All i keep getting is error:device not found.
The computer too does not give any indication of any device being connected to the Usb port..
You should boot into bootloader (vol- & power) then flash a stock gb ruu. After this you can proceed to s-off, root, firmware ... Etc

Sjeez mate, what is your problem?
Posting here and in my thread with the same issue.
Without any detailed issue report.
I offered my help in my thread and tried to contact you for several days now via PM.
So i can help you out of this mess via Talk or IRC.
But if you fail to reply to me which i see as not accepting my help.
Sort it out for your self and going on by nailing me down.
But don't say i didn't want you to help.
With regards,
The cook of this rom who seems to killed his phone.
hey peeps,im a noob in this whole Android thingin..always been a fan of ios till i got sick and tired of jailbreakin..
my problem is 2 days ago i updated to cm10 by Kang evry thing was fine whit the updating went smooth.
but, after it reboots i want to start an app and the phone freezes for a few seconds and reboots.
i tryed to get in fastboot or recovery mod but it wont work..pressing the buttons and all it does is vibrate and start the os.
cant see if debugin is turned on cuz it wont let me enter any app.
my pc wont recognize adb it tells me something bout adb server is old but i updated evrything thru sdk.
not even the ruu is detecting the phone no more.
been seasrchin now since 2 days to find a resolution.but couldnt maybe someone here got or had the same problem.
my pc detects it as massstorage adb interface and android phone ....im running windows7
all i want is to get back in fastboot or recovery or something just to bring my phone back to normal life.
if someone can help me whit adb its cool too...
thanks in advance for ur help guys.
To go to fastboot/bootloader
Power off your phone.. Then remove battery, reinsert it, and then press the volume down and power button together.. That will take you to bootloader
Then select recovery and enter it.. Restore your backup if you have one.. Or fresh install the ROM again.. Don't forget to do the complete wipe before flashing the rom... Not super wipe.. But wipe from recovery.. If using cwm - factory reset
If 4EXT recovery - wipe/format- format all partitions except sdcard
Sent from my pyramid using blazing fast sonic waves
like i already said tryed that already nothing working.phone vibrates and boots up to the os....
and when im in there i always try to go to settings to see if usb debugin is on.but soon as i press.phone freezes and reboots.and i get to the same procedure.
but thanks
any other solution u know i could try....
adb dont find device and always show something bout old server even though i updated sdk.
reinstalled all drivers tru htc sync ,pda net ,superoneclick ...
but it wont let me in the system of the device..

Ganeshp, Quick question, why not SuperWipe ? I've been away for a while and in the past SuperWipe was a MUST do between ROMs. I went from Stock 3.33 WWE to CM10 via a SuperWipe, it seemed to work fine. However, I have seen similar comments to yours since in so much as SuperWipe shouldn't be used. So I'm guessing there must be a reason.

superwipe doesnt have device checks ..its dangerours ..and its incompatible with AOSP ROMS ....lot of AOSP/CM9 roms say that superwipe is incompatible..besides superwipe is redundant ..recovery can very well take care of wiping

you cannot go to bootloader? @[email protected] first time im seeing this ..my wild guess is you are not removing the battery and reinserting it..which is quite crucial for the bootloader to pop up during the process...
as long as usb debugging is not checked ..adb wont work ..and your only option is to go to bootloader (how? -> ive explained you before)
and use fastboot commands
[i removed batterie put it back in pressing volume down + power and it just reboots in normal mode..no fastboot whit the 3 android skaters.
damn...like i said 2 days ago evrything was fine shouldnt have put this cm10 on it i guess...
now i got the phone sayin for the first time after awhile that its in usb mass storage...then it freezes and reboots again
im bout to throw this phone out of the window..
Still cant get anything to work...i really Need help i cant use warranty Cut Off cm10 that i got on the phone.pc dont recognize the phone only as mass storage.ruu cant Update gives me error Code 170 and like i Said thursday EVERY thing was Fine.
Had the Batterie Even Out for two days.
Is my phone bricked???
Its Starts cm10 but Soon as i try to Enter an App. Phone Freezes and reboots.
Does anybody know if USB debugging is on when u use cm10 for first time...the one from kang

Hey guys, I need your help.
My phone was all ok when I slept last night! (I have Purumod v3) I wake up in the morning and the phone was off. when I switched it on,it started bootlooping!(shows only samsung logo)
I tried reflashing it,but the bootlooping seems to persist EVEN when im trying to use the recovery(after the flash when I need to wipe data).If I go to recovery,just when Im about to reach the "wipe all data",it switches off and reboots. I thought its a hardware problem but there is one thing that goes against it ie., the phone does NOT show this behaviour when its in Download mode. when Im in download mode,it doesnt reboot or switch off or anything.
I tried going back to stock(a froyo rom without bootloader) but problem still remains. Tried flashing many different custom roms,still remains the same.
Any idea? Reinstalled Kies drivers and everything. Please help.
Have you tried flashing another kernel or reflashing your current one?
Since the kernel handles boot and recovery while download mode is on a lower level.

Try to find something called "zero fill tar" I think Hillbeast made? its like a deep cleanser, if it is a firmware issue, this should help. flash it then flash any rom over it.
Try flashing this tar file. It's saved my phone many times and here is the file that ava.tar is talking about. For the second file, you have to extract it and you get a .tar file that you flash through odin. :good:
I tried each of the things in your replies. I tried the 0kb file,did nothing,tried the zero fill followed by flashing Kyrillos Rom (froyo) still the same result(bootloop). Also flashed g3mod 2.4.1! this is just so annoying. Thanks so much for your help. I really hope my I could find a way.
Try flashing a rom with 'force upload mode' [vol up+home and power up]

Some more suggestions, which are not very likely (not in order of probability of success but in order of quickness), but it doesnt hurt to try
1. Try booting/ entering recivery while charging
2. Try removing sd card (and then sim card as well) then booting
3. Try flashing a stock rom (then try doing a factory reset from stock recovery)
4. If you know somebody with the same phone try using their battery and then booting.
(5. When you lose all hope try the russian/old school methdod, ie. beat it into complying to your wishes )
boot loop causes and hw to work around
hey
boot loops are a cause of ur kernal not working properly.....,try downloading a working kernal through odin........even i had boot loop problems with g3mod kernal.......but the ultra oc kernal 1260hr kernal works fine fr me........also try clearing the dalvik cache or cache partition..,..which usually solves stability problems nd its a must after flashing a kernal.......try flashing marcellusbe 7.2 rom.....which is very much stable u can also find a bunch of kêrnals try nt using the g3 mod kernal.... if all these dosent work take ur mob to the service center they wont flash it as u rooted ur mob bt they will suggest u to get new motherboard get it done and then u can start frm the beginning .......

My phone wont even connect to Keis Air, i tried connecting my phone while its in download mode and when its stuck in the rethink possible screen. Still wont connect to Keis Air.
They way I was able to fix mine was to first open Kies then select initialize firmware and connect phone to USB port in back of PC. Follow the prompts they will ask for model number and serial number it is located under battery. Select OK. Once firmware is finished Downloading it will prompt you to accept, disconnect phone from PC and then place phone in DL mode by removing battery reinsert battery press volume +- and then volume + to continue once you do that then connect phone to PC via USB and follow screen prompt on PC. It took me about one hour for mine to finally return to stock. I'm going from memory because I'm not sitting in front of computer at this time. Maybe someone with more knowledge than I can help. Good luck.

Hi guys,
yesterday I put evoking (android 4.2.1) on my phone, and I wanted to change it, so I've installed ROM Manager..
After that, I've rebooted on recovery, but, the phone shows only the lg's icon..
So I tried to unbrick this whit KDZ (using this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=883314) and, I tried all the possibility, but it still not working. Now, it does not turn on!! Can you help me please?
P.S. Sorry for the english I'm using google translate..
remove battery, plug the phone to computer while pressing vol up and power to see if computer recognize it, if it does, flash again via kdz
after reflash, restart and w8 for the phone to boot, it will take some minutes to boot, just be patient
