[Q] Bricked?

Hi,
My Transformer TF101 would not start, it got stuck at the ASUS boot screen. So I thought that I would restore the device by flashing stock rom using EasyFlasher. But I ran into problem...
I put the device into APX mode and updated the driver from Universal Naked Driver 0.72.
Once I do "Flash Asus stock zip / Unbrick" from EasyFlasher 0.8.3 a command window appear (see attached picture) and after a while the text in the windows stops at
[+] Sending bootloader...
Sending file: 100 %
The screen of my transformer lights up and says the following:
Entering NvFlash recovery mode / Nv3p Server
Chip Uid: 033c20c140e04117
I waited several hours in this state but nothing happens. If I unplug the transformer from my PC I am not able to reboot it, the only thing that seems to work is power button + volume up to start APX mode and then connect to the PC.
Does anybody have some idea what could be wrong? I am thankful for all suggestions.

Hi.
Happy new year ...
Suggestions
power button + volume Down, after volume up ---> to start RECOVERY mode ????
---------- Post added at 12:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:56 AM ----------
then reinstalled a rom, or restore backup...

I got a new (to me) TF101 for my OH for Christmas - I seem to remember the serial number was not mentioned in EasyFlasher either - however cutting a long story short, EasyFlasher didn't work, but I googled and used PIRI and was rooted and booted in no time at all. Hope this helps you.

Hi,
Thanks for the suggestions. Unfortunately I cannot boot into recovery, nothing happens when I press volume down + power. Since I cannot start it I cannot use adb so I guess the only option is to flash recovery/stock rom in APX mode. But here is where I run into problem, nothings happens after the bootloader is sent to the device as I wrote earlier.

Since you can still use the APX mode you should be able to restore the stock firmware.
From my experience EasyFlash works like a charm. But it has no option to install the APX drivers. You also need to download the stock image from the Thread.
Did a restore to stock just a few days ago.
Looking at your command you did not tell wheelie to install any ROM after the bootloader.

HELP! ROM Manager bricked my O3D - Is it fixable?

NOTE: Before we start, I have now googled it and in hindsight I probably should of left RM alone!
Anyway as the title states my O3D seems totally goosed! I selected the recovery flash in ROM Manager for P920, it rebooted and all it does now is show the logo for a second, vibrate then off. I tried the usual tutorial stuff...
Power button, Vol up battery in - it comes up 'USB Device Unrecognised' and then It also keeps popping up 'Unknown Device' however when I click on properties every entry is 'Unavailable'
Power button, Vol Down, battery in does nothing (tried it a million times)
If I do...
Power button, Vol up then apply the battery - Device Manager finds... 'LG Mobile USB Modem', 'MAP SMS' (Other Devices) and 'LGE Mobile Composite USB Device'
No sign of OMAP44xx so the flash tools don't see it... strangely LG Mobile Support Tool sees the phone and tries to update it however it says it has the latest firmware, when I use the update recover option it gets to 15% but then complains that it can't communicate with the phone.
Is it dead? :crying:
Any help would be much appreciated.

dont worry. its not dead. has happened to my phone a trillion times ..
all you need to is try as below:
1. without connecting phone to usb first hold down 3d button then volume down and keep pressing power untill it starts up and then off again , then release all 3 together as it is off and repeat (remember first 3d then volume down and then power). this time just let the power button go on lg logo but keep pressing the other 2.
2. if this doesnt work, then easiest method - download omap4boot for optimus v1.21 or all in one p920 v1.3 by XDA, remove battery, only press down the volume up button and while pressing connect usb. make sure you hear 1 ding of connect , 1 dong of disconnect then 2 dings of connect. after this the ding dong should end .. if you have all drivers installed , then it will install omap drivers. a window will pop up and everything will have a green check. once it does that you can install a custom recovery twrp or cwm using fastboot . boot into recovery and flash a rom.
still if doesnt work, have patience, post a reply and will tell other steps to proceed with .....

Thanks for your time RVBSD, unfortunately (although I will keep trying!)
In No. 1 - I get the first logo, but when I re-apply the 3D/V and power, I don't get the second logo.
In No.2 - I get the first ding/dong then just 1 ding, no sign of Mr OMAP! - I'll keep trying though.

Once u get the second ding and then this music stops, Open device manager. Look for lg usb modem and disable it. Then look for omap44 something. The device manager may be refreshing quickly. Somehow i had a chance to right click on omap device and chose update driver. Select manual and choose omap.inf from the folder that u have to download as per my previous reply. Restart computer and check again.
Alternatively you can install all inf manually, right click and install, before connecting the device.
Let me know
Sent from my LG-P920 using xda app-developers app

Again, thanks again for your input but I am still no further. I manually clicked the inf and it said it installed fine... but nothing changed in Device Manager. I then attempted to 'force' the driver on the unknown device, however after it installed it returned a 'Code 10' error... unable to start.
Even tried the service software 'LGNPST' but it couldn't even connect to the port! ho-hum...

i tried it again. even on my computer it didnt take the omap drivers this time.... strange .....
but i could install fastboot, then installed cwm recovery . then flashed a rooted rom and its working ...
1. Turn off your Phone, pull out battery.
2. download omap4boot-for_optimus-v1.21 (run "start_fastboot.bat" (it will wait until phone connected)
3. connect phone with USB cable without battery, the usbboot will start
4. insert battery while the usbboot is waiting, it gives 5 secs only
5. unplug USB cable the LG logo will appear with fastboot on top
6. download the attached files to your desktop and extract
7. open cmd and in cmd navigate to fastboot.exe location, where ever downloaded
8. run fastboot.exe from cmd and choose the cwm file to be pushed to your phone
command : fastboot -s flash recovery recovery-clockwork-6.0.1.9-p920.img
9. reboot device into recovery , try to wipe cache and factory reset and try to reboot
if this works it will take you to existing installed rom, then you can reboot to recovery and flash Su_Bbox_1.20.2_gazhead_signed.zip to root it
10. else copy a custom rom to sd card , insert in the mobile , reboot into recovery and flash the cutom rom

PLease help
CAn you tell me how can mount recovery partition

[Q] No Fastboot No Recovery .. Is it dead ?

While i was trying to install the latest official rom to my device (The new Padfone Infinity A86 T004) it is bricked, Now i am facing a very bad (miserable) situation.
When turning on the device it shows me the ASUS logo and in top of the screen a message says : ERROR: Can not boot Invalid boot image!!
And my big problem is that i can't access any of ADB, recovery mode or even fastboot. the phone is undetectable by my PC at all.
I don't know how to force fastboot ... if i can reach the beautiful fastboot mode i will be able to handle the next steps in the fixing journey.
I have red that as long as the device shows something it means that it is not totally bricked .. but how to get out of this situation?
Any suggestions ?

Sorry my englsih is´nt good.
So you can´t broken your phone with OTA Updates
You can delet all files and sysfile and the asus isn´t broken.
you just need patience.
make sure you have the correct driver
turn off your phone,
press vloume up and power, so the phone stay with boot logo, so you are in the fastboot mode.
there you can use my exploit btw the howto downgrade A86, but the downgrade dosent works.
so unzip the newest rom .zip out of asus page....
copy the boot.img and recovery.img in your minimal fast adb folder
so you can:
c:\ADB>fastboot -w ( really wipe all partions and data of your phone!)
c:\ADB\fastboot flash boot boot.img
c:\ADB>fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
copy the complete OTA Update Zip on your phone (internal sd or external is matter)
reboot phone and install the zip out of recovery.
there may be errors come to the first, if that should be the case
then repeat the case up to 3 times
I hope you can read and understand it .
if you need further assistance , please contact me at any time , like even on my homepage lange23.de

Thank you for your help.
The issue is that the phone now is not detected by the pc at all , i can not access the fast boot ...

Do you really pressed Volume up and Power at the same time, if startet???
If the phone during normal start at the stops bootlogo that's not fastboot!!!
Turn really off an than hold volume up an press Powerbutton, hold it up to boot logo.
then you are really in fastboot mode!

after turning off
when i press volume up + power button the phone vibrates and the asus logo displayed. then i release power button and keep pressing volume up button => and after 1 second an error appears ERROR: Can not load Invalid boot image!!
when pressing power button + volume down button a menu appears with two options 1.Enter recovery mode and 2.Exit update mode.
when choosing option 1 , the menu disappeared and the asus logo appears without the previous error message.
when choosing option 2 , the the menu disappeared and the asus logo appears and the previous error message.
all these cases the phone didn't go to fastboot mode and never detected by the pc.

when i press volume up + power button the phone vibrates and the asus logo displayed. then i release power button and keep pressing volume up button don´t keep pressing volume up,
fasboot mode only power & up, until the logo. Pressing this two to logo and then left them. the logo sty tuned in display so you re in fastboot
if you pressing up too jump in question menü,
if you pressing at startup power & down jumped directly into question menü, but this menü is wrong for you. you need only fastboot nothing more

keep pressing on volume up button is not jumping in question menü, but shows logo + error message (can not load invalid boot image)
also pressing them to logo then releasing also shows logo + the error message.
i am also uploading a video to youtube to verify..

and without recovery its right?
And with error message and logo your pc find nothing new unkown devices?

Yes, no recovery
And yes PC does not find any new devices

I can not understand it...
I once the boot.img deleted in the phone and also get such error message .
but my systems find an Android device and i can use the fastboot

Any way , a good news that the phone was only few days out of its package and i managed to return it back to the seller and will send to me a new one.
But i am really disappointed with ASUS not to make any unlock tool for the new padfone infinity.
Once, i believed that as long as there is no physical damage in the phone, there will be always a way around to fix it by fastboot. but it discovered that it is not correct and the fast boot itself can be damaged..
Any way thank you so much the only man helped me here sinus23.

Hard bricked my Samsung Galaxy Gt-I 8262

I wanted to install lollicop ROM that I downloaded from a thread in this forum.
It happened when I flashed TWRP by Rashr App and rebooted my phone
It got stuck on screen that's saying
[ODIN3]

Do not disconnect USB cable during the software update!
I tried everything,
Volume up+ home+ power

Removed battery
Connected to PC with kies installed but Odin couldn't detect it so can't install recovery from PC
fastboot is not detecting my device
installed latest drivers for Galaxy core but still nothing
Please show me a way if I could do anything with the help of phone or my PC
I don't want to change motherboard guys please help:crying:

This happened to me. You might have gone in recovery using rashr. Just use volume dn+ home + power until you see warning keep holding vol dn and home but leave the power when phone vibrate.
Note - keep holding the two until you see a warning and press vol up on warning. Odin will detect you
---------- Post added at 09:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:36 AM ----------
But You need odin
---------- Post added at 09:37 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:36 AM ----------
And restart using it
---------- Post added at 09:37 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:37 AM ----------
If works pls like

finally solved it
if other users facing same problem here is the solution stepwise
1. install samsung drivers from the original website of samsung only or from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=961956, there are a lot of drivers available on the internet don't pay attention on them, they don't work
2. download odin latest version
3. go into download mode- switch off the device
long press volume down+power+home button simultaneously, when the phone vibrates or something comes on screen, leave all butten,
you'll see a screen with two options
1. continue
2. restart phone
press volume up key for continue, now you see a logo of android and downloadin on screen-- hurrey- you're in download mode
4. connect your phone to pc with an original data cable
5. odin will detect your device where the ID is written, if it doesn't change port or usb
6. install twrp recovery on your phone with odin, download it from this post its working http://www.techdroider.com/2015/01/cwm-twrp-update-galaxy-core-i8262.html. chose PDA or AP option
7. when the odin displays pass disconnect phone
8. go into recovery mode- long press volume up+power+home all simultaneoulsy
when the logo of smasung appears leave the power key but keep pressing the volume up and home key
9. now you're in recovery mode, choose the download stock or custom rom from sd card,
there are other method too but i prefer this one, bcz its hasslefree and once you've installed custom recovery you don't need pc or any other thing to update or change your rom or whatever plus twrp supports touchscreen.
Thanks twrp and XDA for saving my money

WoW Alhamdulillah thanks brother :*
I have the same problem with you
You have saved my life and my money ^_^

ı have this problem but if ı do this will ı lose my data ??

Help - QDLoader 9008

Something went wrong with my 930T when I tried to flash the deodexed rom and root. Now the phone is stuck on an all-black screen and is only recognized by my computer as Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader. Is there a straight-forward (or non-straightforward) way to get the phone into download mode or to manually restore it.

Did the problem occur after the flash of the rom or after rooting?
And have you tried putting it in recovery mode or download mode already?

It occurred after rooting. I have tried to use various key presses (no responses when not connected to a computer, power down for a while does get a disconnect sound from windows). Nothing has gotten anything to pop up on screen. I have the odin restore files ready once I figure out how to get the phone to download mode.

*Also Before you try this turn it off and let it charge for an hour or so...*
So in that case I'd attempt the same key presses to put it in download mode even if nothing is displayed...
1. Volume Down + Power + Home to put it in download mode
2. Then press Volume Up to continue past the warning screen even if nothing is displayed.
3. Grab The Latest Version of Odin here
4. Then Download The Stock Firmware, in this case you will need whichever version you have (if you do not remember you can just download the latest available firmware) Download Firmware and then extract it. (If you have 5 different files in the zip go to step 8)
5. Then install Samsung device drivers(if not already).
6. Start Odin, Plug in the S7, Load in the tar.md5 in the AP/PDA and uncheck Auto Reboot and Repartition.
7. Let the phone restart... VIOLA!!!
8. Alternatively if the zip has 5 files... They should all start with the corresponding buttons in Odin For Example:
AP_G930TUVS3APD8_CL7856276_QB9546176_REV02_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5
BL_G930TUVS3APD8_CL7856276_QB9546176_REV02_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5
CP_G930TUVS3APD8_CL7856276_QB9546176_REV02_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5
CSC_TMB_G930TTMB3APD8_CL7856276_QB9546176_REV02_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5
HOME_CSC_TMB_G930TTMB3APD8_CL7856276_QB9546176_REV02_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5
After they are entered into Odin you hit start and after a few minutes ... It should be fixed....
Let me know if you have any further questions or issues...

Thanks for the ideas. I tried the reboot to no avail. Luckily, T-mobile customer support is very good and they are sending me a new phone for a Wednesday pickup.
