Bricked, no boot, no recovery, but vibrates every 37 seconds

Hello XDA friends. This is my first official posting on the XDA site and I'm in need of serious help.
I've noticed that intense research and development has been put into this phone. With so many rom selections available for the MT4GS I decided to try out several different roms kind of playing around. Many of the roms available were very well put together.
I decided to try out the Doubleshot MIUI v0.3 as I have used on other devices in the past and liked its customization. After installing the rom I made some adjustments in the settings to personalize my phone. Everything was working fine until I rebooted my phone and now it is hard-bricked. My device is S-Off with bootloader unlocked, and prior to installing MIUI I formatted all data, Dalvik, and system. I don't know what I did to brick my device and I can't find similar issues among others.
Issue Details:
When I have the phone powered off then hit the power button my backlight will slightly light up (very dim with no splash or image), and it will vibrate (Like on a normal boot). What else is crazy is every 37 seconds it will vibrate, and this is ongoing if I let the phone sit in that state.
If I have the phone off and plug it in a power source I get no love.
I'm unable to access HBOOT or Recovery mode, and the phone is not detected when connected to PC.
Please help me.......

that looks like a screen/digitizer problem. I don't think you're even bricked seeing as you didn't mess with any partitions according to what you did above. Also if the phone vibrates and the backlight turns on then it's still alive.

Thanks for the response. I'm sure the screen is fine. I performed the reboot when the issue first happened. This phone is driving me crazy.

wait u said you phone isn't connecting to adb right?
Did you try Fastboot?

I'm not able to bring up the HBOOT menu to enter fastboot mode.

have you tried a battery pull?

Thanks for the reply. I have tried pulling/replacing the battery and didn't have any luck. I also have two spares and the issue continues........
I can't figure it out, or figure what I did exactly to cause this.

Any other ideas?

does adb recognize it when it is plugged in?

Request: Surface 2 Recovery USB. Won't boot, flashing 'Surface' every 8 seconds

Hi, so yesterday after powering my Surface 2 down (it was working fine), it no longer boots up. Instead, it will show the 'Surface' on the screen for about a second, and then the screen will go black for 8 seconds, and repeat until I turn it off or the battery dies.
I've been having a hard time finding other people with this problem, but the few I did said that sending it to MS (and getting a new one) is what they had to do. One person did say that they were able to fix the problem with a bootable Surface 2 recovery USB. I have a lot of work on my surface that I don't have copies of, and would really like to be able to save those files.
Things I have tried: Holding the power button with a combination of volume rocker/home key. Holding the power button for 20 seconds followed by 2 seconds off and on. I have fully charged it and know it has enough battery.
Help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi John,
What was the solution to fi this problem?
I encounter the same problem.

You should be saving your stuff to your OneDrive...anywho
If you have a USB recovery drive, you could try booting from it and doing a refresh,(NOT a reset) that would keep your files.
If you don't have a USB recovery drive you could make one using the 8.1 RTM ISO, I wrote a how-to guide here;

or you could download one here;

(I think that one is for the UK, but that shouldn't matter, just do a full reset from your recovery once you get your files off)
Hope this helps.

Please Help! OnePlus One Dead

Guys,
I have a OPO 64gb which is in Dead State (Hard-bricked) currently.
It doesn't switch on. Nothing comes up on the screen after pressing Power button. Can't even go to Recovery Screen or Download Screen. No display, no logo, no vibration. I even tried it after keeping it for charging overnight.
This happened after my cousin tried to flash something (I have no idea what he was doing).
I have gone through many thread on this and various other forums which gives solution of Unbricking the phone. However none of them helped, because my case is a little different.
In all those Recovery procedures, it is mentioned to connect the phone to PC and press Vol Up + Power button. When I connect the OPO to PC, it is not detected at all. Even it doesn't show up in the Device Manager (no QHSUSB_BULK, as many mentioned). There is absolutely nothing which indicates that the phone is connected to PC. This is were I get stuck because I don't know what needs to be done from here.
Has anyone ever faced such an issue? How to I bring back the OPO back to life from this state? Is there a solution to this?
Please help!

Pixel 2 black screen - hard reset not working - any clues?

Hi!
I'm trying to help out a friend here. They have a pixel 2 device and their screen went completely dark off one day. Apparently it didn't fall or anything. Anyway, if I plug the device into a pc I get the sound of it recognizing new hardware but I can't find it in the device manager. Alongside that a hard reset or trying to get ot the recovery mode does not seem to work. I don't think the screen image just died because there is no response to HW buttons being pressed on the phone.
ADB does not see the device with ADB devices and I can't seem to get any response from the device at all. Any ideas what do?

Try holding power and volume down button for 10-12 second, then connect the device to PC and enter fastboot Device, if it shows your device then flash it and reboot, now it should boot with screen on.
If it doesn't show in fastboot Device then it should be hardware problem, maybe screen or motherboard.

Question Stuck in recovery mode PLEASE HELP

I thought this would be a good place to ask this.
A few minutes ago, I accidently pressed the volume up and down buttons for a long time on my zflip 3 and it booted into the recovery menu. Now this normally wouldn't be a problem.. if my power button wasn't dented in.
I refused to fix it due to the sheer cost of the fix and could turn my display off by double tapping. However, this means that I have no way to exit recovery mode. I tried using ADB on both my bac and pc (using usb 2.0, 3.0, and c on my pc and c/thunderbolt ports on mac).
My phone however would not connect of show up under devices, and I am suspecting it is because I have done something to the debugging settings. I let the battery run out and it would just boot back into the recovery interface once charged up. It even once went to a light blue screen that said something along the lines of how a custom os can cause major problems.
I am a noob at phone stuff and I really don't know what to do. I have a bunch of photos of my grandma who passed away last year and they aren't backed up to google cloud. I really need any help I can get. Thank you.

Hi, provided that you have already
- enabled adb debugging;
- installed adb.
Now you have to
1. enter fastboot mode;
2. in adb type
Code:
fastboot erase recovery
then, reinstall recovery if you want to.

How about rebooting to system using volume buttons?
