Dead phone after downgrade

Hi
I've tried a few custom ROM on my nexus. But today I was thinking to downgrade my phone to a Stock ROM, Stock-GRH55-Unsigned. So I downloaded the zip-file and upload it to the sdcard and then I run Clockworkmod -> install zip from sdcard and choose Stock-GRH55-Unsigned.zip.
The install of the Stock ROM looked fine so I rebooted my phone and after that is the phone dead .
When I press the on/off-button the phone vibrates and the home and search button lights up and after a while they go out and the two other buttons start to slowly blink.
Does anyone have any idea how I can solve my problem or is my phone dead?

If you can get into the bootloader (volume up + power) then you can try and get into CWM (doubt it will still be intact). From CWM you can wipe and try flashing something else. If you can't get into CWM, you can reflash the recovery image from the bootloader using fastboot.
If you can't do any of the above, then start looking into Odin. I have no experience in Odin though, so can't help you there. Good luck!

my galaxy 5 doesnt open after flashing clockworkmod recovery of a diffrent device

i was trying to install cm7 on my phone an after downloading every thing and started the rom manager for recovery reboot it didnt load the same menu for the clockworkmod recovery so i decided to flash it , so after reboot i started the rom manager once again and pressed flash clockworkmod recovery a list of phones appeared but i didnt find my phone so i decided to choose a different model i guess it was a huwaie 2 mini and the process ended properly and cwm is flashed then i pressed recovery reboot after that my phone closed and never started again i tried removing the battery and restart but the phone didnt work at all please help

On the page dedicated to CyanogenMod 7.1 Galaxy http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1149110 there is a link from where to get CWM. You can install via odin again and everything will be ok.

Bricked galaxy tab 2 7.0

I think I bricked my tab 2 (gt-p3113) it keeps on looping at boot, I recently flashed cm10 on it then flashed stock rom (it was laggy, so I tried flashing clockworkmod recovery to reinstall cm10) after flashing clockworkmod, it kept on looping. I don't know what the problem is, please help.
UPDATE: I kept on pressing random buttons to reach download mode, but I need a stock rom + stock recovery (this rom was 4.0.3) for my device (samsung-updates site is moving servers or so)
I downloaded my stock rom from this post : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1645295&page=3 it's laggy + apps kept on crashing)
I need a new stock rom because flashing clockworkmod recovery on this rom always causes a bootloop, I want to install cwm recovery to restore my data.

first, try to download the stock recovery from sammobie.com , put it on your external sd & then try to re install CWM via odin, wipe your data and everything (if you're returning from CM10 to stock one) and then re-flash the stock ROM, hope this might help you

I couldn't find it on sammobile, but I googled it (794MB, downloading..) I think the problem was that I flashed cwm for 4.0.4 (seeing as I had 4.0.4 before cm10) then the stock rom I flashed was 4.0.3 (I can't update my device via OTA, idk why)
I'm just afraid the newest firmware I'm downloading lags and so, because the one I downloaded earlier (the 4.0.3 one) keeps lagging and force closing apps.
UPDATE: I flashed it, works perfectly fine, now I'm on my way to flash clockworkmod recovery and to root it in order to run cm10, but is there a way I can ONLY flash the stock recovery back? the md5 file I downloaded contains recovery.img is there a way I can flash it in odin without the whole ROM?

Your Tab is not bricked. A bricked Tab / Phone will not turn on. There won't be any response from the device, whatever you do. Because, I bricked one of my friends Mobile.
All you need to do you is, to install a proper firmware on your Tab 2. PM me if you need any help.

Mine started acting like it was bricked. Refused to turn on. I held the power button for 2+ minutes, nothing. Then I let it charge for 4+ hours and tried to turn it on, again, nada. I then unplugged it and held the power button and it booted. The first time the screen went to sleep it would not respond again. Plugged the cable in for a minute, then unplugged and it started. Battery was at 90%. It is on it's way back to Samsung now. They say 7-10 business days, we'll see.

[Q] Need help with bricked miro (stuck on Sony logo) (CM10 cockup)

Hi guys.
so here is what happened to start with:
i tried to to put CM 10 jelly bean on it. (Free xperia Project) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1997251
i followed all the instructions given in the how To', except for one
i overlooked on the kernel installation procedure(my bad ) and i directly went for the ROM and Gapps one.
i did all this through the latest Version of CWM, it successfully installed both, ROM and gapps.
but after that i tried to reboot, it didn't reboot
all it does is that, when i press the power button, it vibrates once, and if i constantly press on the vibrate button, it constantly Keeps on vibrating :/
without showing anything on the screen.. bricked i thought!
so to get out of it i started using Fastboot.exe using this as as a guide: http://forums.droidbeans.com/tutori...SESSID=af435aa8d3021e9723408b9fbec9d7d4#msg83 (part 3 onward). that didn't work as it had problems flashing cache and recovery (i think i made a huge error as it wont flash to cache and recovery anymore :/
so to get around it i I managed to get hold of the ftf. (Generic) I have flashed it using flashtoot but it still hangs on the Sony logo and does not much more.
so then I tried flashing FXP boot.img using fastboot and that went on ok and now I can get it into cwm recovery to flash cm10 rom onto it (with no errors) but it still hangs on the free xperia logo after wiping although it doesn't seem to want to wipe the cache. So I'm not sure where to go from here. stumped!
If it helps, when i start CWM Recovery It says something like E: can't retrieve / open recovery log a few times at the bottom of the screen And in fastboot I can't wipe or flash to recovery. at all. I now don't even know if that's the problem
I did the defeated thing and took it to the shop to see what they say and they want to send it away. But I will have to pay once they work out its my error, and im in no doubt it is. so I still have it, hoping i can sort it
if anyone can help i would be eternally grateful. the phone is only a month old and i cant really afford to replace it :'(

Update. I've found out from other page that it could be a problem with the kernel. I flashed it separately and it still hangs on Sony. I'm looking for a stock boot.img and I will try that.

but if you are having trouble flashing a device. Keep Trying. Keep researching and try changing your memory card
Xperia Miro mod Jellybean 4.1.2
Rom: CM10-4.1.2
Kernel: 3.0.8-FXP

[Miro/ST23i] Flash proper baseband went wrong

Miro/ST23i
CWM recovery
CM 11 Alpha 2 Tamsui
I wanted to flash a proper baseband from the original ST23i firmware...
I used flashtool and excluded everything but baseband. I did not wipe data/chache.
Now I'm stuck with a phone trying to boot and powering off all the time. (small logo cyanogenmod for tamsui shows up)
I can reach go into recovery but reflash the zip does not work while the phone powers of during process.
And yes, the phone is on electric or attached to usb.
bizar is also that the root access seems to be gone.
I tried to reflash the zip.
I tried to bootload the boot.img
but either can not finish as the device goes into off mode after a minute or 3.
How to get a stable situation to rebuild?

Problem on the way to be solved. Thank-o-meter @flashtool @cmw
