[Q] have I hard bricked my phone?

I think my phone may be hard bricked.
I was trying to follow the steps in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1141550, when I ran into the situation I'm now in.
I followed all of the steps perfectly with the exception of rebooting to recovery, I accidentally rebooted normally. After it had started up and sat for about 5 minutes or so, I rebooted back to recovery. I reflashed the ext4 zip, then Black Ice ROM, and then Bali 3.1. I went to the voodoo menu and disabled both options and told the phone to reboot again.
It sat at the SGS4G screen for 20 minutes and I never heard linda speak during this entire time. I got tired of waiting and pulled the battery. Now the only thing I ever get is the SGS4g screen. I let it sit that way while I slept and when I woke up 3-4 hours later it was still on that screen. I've tried following the advice given in the thread mentioned above to put it back into download or recovery with no luck.
When I connect the phone to the PC instead of recognizing it, it complains about it and immediately makes the USB disconnect sound. If I leave it plugged in every 5-10 minutes or so it'll pop up the warning in the system tray again, and make the USB disconnect sound. If I unplug the phone from USB, the battery charging screen stays on. If I plug back in to USB at this point it'll make the sound like it's connected but never shows in Windows device manager, 'adb devices', or in ODIN. Any ideas before I call it a hardbrick and try to take it back to the store?

I've tried pulling the battery and putting it back in so it's fully shut down before holding the volume keys and connecting USB. It makes the USB connect sound and quickly makes the USB disconnect sound, gets the popup in my system tray saying it's an unrecognized USB device and doesn't go to download or a yellow triangle screen. Doesn't appear in ODIN or 'adb devices'. I've tried it this way repeatedly since last night.
I've also tried waiting until it's on the battery charging screen to pull the USB cable. It stays on the battery charging screen even though it's obviously not charging anymore. I hold the volume buttons anyways and plug the USB cable back in, and it makes the connect sound but it still never goes to download mode. I've tried it this way several times as well.
I've put my phone into download mode many times before so I can't imagine my method is wrong, I'm not doing it any differently than I ever have before. It's just behaving strangely. I've never had it stick on the battery charging screen before when I unplug the USB cable...

check your pm.

Hey. I had the same exact problem. I couldn't get into download mode...and thus no odin. Look in the bible. There is a guide on how to get into download mode multiple ways. I used method 2. After that, follow the guide to flash using odin, also in the bible. hope you get it fixed.

HAH SUCCESS!! I finally got it into download mode by pressing ONLY vol down and power. Worked like a charm. Pressing both vol buttons is what was killing me. I got into download mode with Vol Down and Power, and then had to uninstall/reinstall my samsung drivers. Odin now sees my phone and I'm pushing KD1 as we speak. Thanks a million everyone. I love this forum. Thanks to all who helped.

Is it a possibility that the phone is on but the screen is not?
Check to see if the computer will recognize it.
Have you tried the 3 button combo to get to fastboot to see if it'll turn on?

any help here plz

plug it into a wall charger, the one that came with it, or better yet one that is more powerful and let it sit for a while then try to hold the volume buttons to get to fastboot or recovery where you can let it sit and charge fully before flashing anything. If it will not charge off the wall you will have to use the Macgyver method that involves splicing a cable to charge the battery directly. It is really quite easy to do, so don't worry. Essentially you just need to get power to the phone so you can flash then charge the battery. take a usb cable (make sure it is not your only micro usb for the phone, any old usb cable will work but you will need a normal one too) and cut the end off. strip the red and black wires a few millimeters and get those to contact between the battery + and - (red to + black to -)and the terminals on the phone with the battery in and plug that into your computer. MAKE SURE YOU ONLY TOUCH TO THE CORRECT TERMINALS OR YOU WILL LIKELY FRY YOUR PHONE AND/OR BATTERY. get into fastboot, plug in a normal usb cable leaving the direct to battery one, and flash as fast as possible, the 5 volts is a bit much to charge the battery with and could damage it if left for a long time. once you are up and running again remove the macgyver cable and charge it up normally. I TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY IF THIS HURTS YOUR PHONE.!!!!

You can try buying a charger for the battery on ebay that can charge it out of the phone. If you have a multimeter test the battery voltage and see if it is at or above the listed voltage (3.7 i think), that will tell you if it is charged or not.

You need to micguyver the battery to charge. I had the same problem.go down to AT&T and swap a battery out to see if it works?
Sent from my MB865 using xda premium

Take the battery out and plug it into the charger, then insert the battery while still on the charger. You should see the battery icon come up on the screen, power up holding the volume up and down buttons and it should boot into the menu giving you the fastboot option, choose fastboot then flash using RSD

thank you all for your kind replays but nothing worked for me
i even borrowed a fully charged battery from my friend but nothing worked
i think my phone is dead .

You may also have a bad USB cable. They do have a lifespan, as with anything else (I've gone through 2 or so in 10 months) especially if used/plugged in and out from your phone to USB to charger more than an average user may.
Also, if you're battery is very low and is on the verge of a shutoff, your laptop's USB might not be adequate to give enough voltage/mA to the battery to charge it -and more so if it actually does shut off. The charging time depends on the charging current. Wall charger is around 850-1000ma, USB is usually around 500ma (for some older PC laptops, it could be as low as 200ma) That said, charging from a wall outlet power source will be (or should be) faster than vis USB to PC charging. The MB865's battery capacity is generally around 1735mA, so 1735÷1000= 1.73 hours to full charge from full discharge.

dunno if this will help, there was this one time when I was playing scramble and suddenly the phone switched off and just wouldnt turn back on. Tried charging it and a white notification light was turned on continuosly without any of the general charging screen notificatn (battery indicator)
What helped me was tht I removed the batt, set it back, charged it for an hour or so, turned off the charger and tried to turn it back again, luckily it worked out for me. See it it helps.

Couple things: one as apex said, charge with the stock charger if possible. If you only have a PC, DO NOT use a front USB slot. As they are lower power slots than the rear ones.

I have the same problem as him, thus I guess it's hard brick not 100% sure as Jim helped me out with some things but still i'm out of luck..

Found the reason rsd showing me these 3 errors, somewhy the drivers installed by Motorola Manager done some troubles, so I installed the PDAnet drivers (shows as 'ADB interface' now) and all the proccess went fine, even though the previous failed.

[Q] Black Screen - White Light. No power

Hey guys!
So. I was driving to the airport, using my phone as my GPS. Then boom. It turns off. So I swapped my battery. It wasn't turning on.
I got home, and my phone still wouldn't turn on. I plug it into my computer and it recognizes my OMAP, but not my phone. When I plug it in it has a white LED, and no other signs of life.
Anyone know how to fix this kind of behaviour?
I have tried several things.
1. Recovery mode, there is no life in it at all. No dual boot screen, and no other signs of life.
2. Pulling the battery. Tried it.
3. Replacing the battery. No go.
4. Completely powering it down without a battery. Pulled the battery, and then pressed home button.
5. Leave it charging. Nope :/
Any help?

Nope... it didn't work. Still goes into the endless "OMAP" connected, disconnected process on my computer.

Sorry to say it but your phone might just be... dead. If you can't charge it with the McGyver method, and I assume you can't boot into fastboot, then there really isn't much you can do. You should be able to get a replacement device through Moto's 1-year warranty.

Can u boot into fasboot? This happened to me a couple weeks ago, so i went into fastboot, and flashed bpears batch file to flash back to stock..... i also one time had to wipe my phone from motorola recovery (one of the choices before fastboot) then restart back into fasboot then use bpears fastboot tool..... not sure if this was the time i had to do that though.....

I tried the Macgyver method. No joy. I tried booting into fastmode, not even a bit of life............ I think my Atrix 2 is dead..... anyone know the best place to sell a phone for parts? Everything else is good on my phone, except for the fact that it won't turn on.
Second android phone that has went and bricked on me. I am wondering if a WP7 is a good choice.... I just wish I didn't have to spend anymore cash!

I know this might sound dumb, but did you try plugging it in to an actual outlet and not just your computer? The first time I completely discharged my A2 i had the same problem, I hooked it up to my laptop and got a white LED. Panicked for a good hour, and plugged it into an outlet. Phone booted up into "charging mode" within a couple of seconds.

HTC One S turned off and will not turn on

This is a HTC One S unlocked and rooted with CM 10. Last night I was using the phone and out of nowhere powered off. I plugged it into wall charger and when I went this morning to turn it on I got nothing. The orange light indicating charging does not turn on. I have tried holding every variation of the power button with other buttons getting nothing. When I connect to PC the device is not detected. As of recently every time I connect the phone to the usb or to the wall outlet, the camera's flash stays on. As soon as I disconnect the phone the flash goes off. If I hold the power button while connected via usb or wall charger the flash will turn off after 10 seconds but once I let go it comes right back on and this does nothing to turn the phone on, the whole time its black. any tips?

update any time I plug the phone into the computer or wall charger the camera light comes on and stays on while plugged in. The charge light does not come on and the pc does not recognize a device is connected. The only thing I can think of to try is to take apart phone and take out the battery, but I do not have the proper tools maybe walmart eye glass repair kit may work with with a razor.

Edit: took apart phone and disconnected battery and still nothing. just the camera flash on when plugged in via wall or usb! Any help guys!
Edit #2: took the phone apart completely there was nothing out of the ordinary and not damage of any kind. Put the phone back together and nothing. It's as if the phone has lost all of its software because it doesn't respond to the power button or any button as if the phone doesn't have a command for the button pushes. The only thing that has life is the camera flash that comes on when phone is plugged into a power source that's it.

I am sure the price of repair would not be worth the phone and there's no warranty

Never heard of this problem. You might want to try holding the power button down?

Update: out of nowhere I have the orange blinking light and the computer recognizes the device as a USB Composite Device. the phone does not power on nor will it go to the bootloader, Is there anyway to turn on the phone with the computer?
well fastboot does not recognize the phone and I tried updating the drivers and that didn't help. phone blinks orange and connects as a USB composite device but cannot power the phone on or access anything on it.

Hm, difficult.
You could try these commands in order:
adb devices
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot devices
fastboot reboot-bootloader
If it doesn't answer keep it loading for 24 hours or at least over night and then retry. Else it is bricked.

[Q] Phone died, now won't boot

I have a nexus 5 that was rooted on stock rom. I have not made any changes recently to anything. I went to wake the phone and got nothing. I used vol down and power to get into bootloader. Selected start and then the phone sat on the google logo for 5 mins. I again tried vol down and power and it went off and now will not do anything with any button combo. I charged it overnight in case the battery was just dead. Nothing this morning. I then tried to plug it into the computer and it looked for drivers for QSUSB_BULK. Never seen this before. It also shows up in device manager and an unknown device with that same title. I assume that this is a "hard brick" but surprised it just came out of the blue... Is there any chance of saving the phone?

Ah, that sucks! I'm a little confused though, because you said that the button combos do nothing now, but when you now plug it into the PC, it attempts to load different / incorrect drivers? Is the screen just black and it's trying to load the drivers still or...? Have you tried to manually load the drivers when it's showing the unknown device? Tried different USB cables and / or ports? I realize the phone is not acting correctly, but it's best to eliminate the easy things first.

I don't think its the screen, I saw it shut off then never do anything again. I have tried different cables and ports. The phone never booted back into android I know that much. Trying to load drivers or use nexus tool kit to look for adb or fastboot devices does nothing either.
I also do not get a light or anything on the screen when I plug in the charger.

Yea, I wasn't thinking it was the screen itself. I was just wondering if now the phone is "on" and attempting to load drivers, albeit incorrectly or not at all, and the screen was still dark/off? What computer OS are you using? I'm assuming Windows due to the unknown device error, but which iteration: XP/Vista/7/8/8.1? What is the error when you manually try to load the drivers - not with a tool kit? Have you tried another cord / USB port / PC? Like I mentioned earlier, it's obviously a phone issue, but sometimes just trying these different things can at least get it to load the drivers correctly where you could at least fastboot the system back to the phone.

Ok
You are on the qualcomm cpu strict mode.
Keep it like that for ten -15 minutes the battery will charge.
After that keep it plugued in and press the power button until you hear the sound that the device is disconnected.
After that vol down + power right after
Should work

Of course you misunderstood, you only read one FOUR words in the tread and made your judgement.

I am using Windows 7. I tried to update the google driver in the device manager in windows but it will not accept it for that device. It only shows up as QSUSB_BULK. I have tried different cables and different ports. I have not tried another PC yet. I am going to set one up and try it just to eliminate PC issues.

Pretty sure your device took a dump on you. Rma is your only option.

Hate to see it but it does happen once in awhile. Emmc probably failed

Try holding the power button only for 15 seconds this is like the fail safe of pulling the battery out since we can't do that

Ok
You are on the qualcomm cpu strict mode.
Keep it like that for ten -15 minutes the battery will charge.
After that keep it plugued in and press the power button until you hear the sound that the device is disconnected.
After that vol down + power right after
Should work

Also while plugged in it always shows in the device manager and I never get the disconnect while holding in the power button.
