[Q] Bricked Galaxy R

My Galaxy R was bricked after I updated it to ICS (official). The update was unsuccessfull and phone rebooted. Everything was fine, my phone still had gingerbread. Then it got bricked after 1 week (dont knw why).
I followed this thread for unbricking but before flashing the ROM i flashed CWM recovery:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1706572
But in the middle of the process my device got disconnected from the PC and I ended up with a bricked phone. Now m unable to get into APX mode. When i plug the device into the PC it gets stuck on charging(no animation for charging also).
Is there anything I can do to recover my galaxy r ?
EDIT: M unable to boot into CWM reocovery and Odin gets stuck while setting up connection(flashing).

U hav no other option but to go to service center buddy.. They'll replace your motherboard and flash official ICS also.. Hope your phone is still under warranty.. Give them some reason like u removed data cable without checking "Safely remove" in your PC, it got restarted and bricked..

I was able to boot into Download mode using the USB Jig and flashed the stock GB firmware . Now the phone is working fine, only problem is the IMEI number.
I didnt have the /efs backup before bricking my phone, so is there a way to recover my IMEI number ?

Without the backup, there's no other option but the SSC.

Will SSC replace my mobo or will they just configure the IMEI number ?

I went to SSC today, they were unable to repair the IMEI number. Is there any other alternative, I can try out ?

Have you done the factory reset with GB Stock ROM... It may help...
Edit: Before that check efs partition is available and files are present inside.. using terminal emulator or adb...

Buddy they found out that i rooted the phone through the generic IMEI number displayed (004999XXXX) even though the counter was reset. They were like OMG, I am a criminal lol, how can I root a phone. It was of no use talking to them, previously they were compelling me to buy a new mobo when I bricked the galaxy r :laugh: .

I am using FileExpert and I can see the nv_data.bin and nv_data.bin.md5 files. In the process of unbricking the galaxy r I did flash the stock indian GB and did the factory reset, now its displaying generic IMEI.

Such a big company can not say like this and try to sell the new products to customer ...
Go to this like and send Email to CEO's Office..
Don't tell him that you have rooted and lost IMEI, tell him some story..

Gys I followed the guide to root my phone with CWM recovery but there is no root access. Root checker gets stuck and busybox says problem with root permissions. I can see the superuser app, dont knw what is the problem ? I just need to backup the /efs folder.

Well Never had that kind of trouble before. I change my ROM like many times during a week itself and also do the restore. see these 3 method which might solve your problem
1) check this site it may help you
http://www.thesmarthacks.com/2012/12/android-error-fix-fix-for-wi-fi-not.html
2) if that doesnt work try to do a hard reset which will clear everything and all your data will be erased so better do a backup of important data. you can try this code *2767*3855# see if it works
3) and if nothing works i hope you have your warranty intact so, take it to nearby service center they will definately fix it !!!

I have the same problem :S is not rom problem,i think is hardware problem

Any way to fix Wireless?????????

Cannot connect to mobile network - IMEI recovered succesfuly

Hello everyone,
Phone: Prestigio PAP 4500 Duo.
I'm getting crazy a little. Lost almost two days for this.
My girlfriend's phone just stopped working 2 days ago, stuck at bootloop. I somehow managed to get some stock Sp Flash tool flashable ROM from russian site and brought phone back to life. But in process I had to do Format (with keep Bootloader only option) and deleted my NVRAM.
I did then manage to restore my IMEI by making MP0B_001 file with my IMEI numbers and moving it to /data/nvram/md/NVRAM/NVD_IMEI/MP0B_001.
So, My IMEI's are now succesfully stored to NVRAM but I still cannot connect to network.
I would use some help.
Thanks all! Cheers,
Bruno.
Edit: Solved. It might seem crazy, but I turned SIM card wrong way....10 times...

Greetings and welcome to assist. Unfortunately I can not find any firmware for your device on xda, I'm pretty sure flashing the wrong recovery has affected your partition table. If you try asking here
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help
hopefully someone will upload the firmware for you
Good Luck
