need help with bricked phone

I just wanted to use revolutionary to root my phone, but nothing happened. After that the phone just rebooted and then turned off. Now I can't turn it on and it even doesn't charge!
help please

Your phone is not brick, can you still boot into HBOOT? Volume down key and press hold power button.

I tried another battery but it didn't work

at least someone tell me if I can return it or report it as lost phone? I am on tmobile

"make sure" there is no way to boot on then just bring back to T-mobile to get a new one; Just say "I got no cure" "whatever they asked.

it wont boot, is there anyway they can read any logs or something from the phone memory to see what happened?

[Q] solve bootloop? [EXTREME!]

Hi! I've got a sticky situation here, my g3 is in a bootloop, not the normal bootloop, i'm in a "yup, you're f***ed" situation. Lets start here shall we?
The condition of my phone currently:
Volume buttons broken (not able to get into recovery/download mode)
Stuck at "GT-I5800" logo
Adb says no device connected (not being able to get into recovery/download mode, AGAIN)
Maybe i'm too ambitious but can my device be saved?

I think it's time to replace your phone if half the buttons are broken :|

Not really, my adb doesn't recognize the g3, it works fine with my gio though

All you can do now is take the battery out.......and you'll need to fix the volume keys

I've visited a friend that repairs phones, he says it's no use to try fix the volume keys, they are broken from the mainboard.

That means nothing. That is stock recovery so there is no way to know anything about the device. Back cover is broken so that might be a problem as the antenna is placed there...
If the device is stuck in there might mean that volume rocker is flaw, but nothing more is to be said if you don't know if you can access hboot or if fastboot is working.

Phone doesn't turn on anymore (Flashed wrong ROM)

Hey I've got a huge problem.
I think I just accidently flashed a ROM for a different phone and now the phone doesn't turn on anymore.
Is there anything I can do? Oh god I'm freaking out.
Thanks

Does it go into bootloader or recovery? If no try LG flashtool and if that doesn't work. You bricked it

I'm not sure if I did that right. I installed the driver + the Tool .. hold down volume up + plug cable in = nothing happens.
Can't boot into recovery either. Nothing happens.
Oh man I'm an Idiot
Is there any way to get to the data? Even if it's opening the device?

You need it to power up to get the data

Hold down power + vol down button for about 30 seconds and see if the bootloader shows up? if not, you can try accessing the secondary bootloader by holding Power + Vol Up and Down simultaneously..

How can I .zip completely broke the recovery etc.? Isn't that supposed to be "unbreakable"? I did this mistake on another phone before (You would think I learned...) and I was able to unbrick it. But on a nexus it is impossible? :/

Flashing stuff meant for other devices can brick your device permanently due to partitioning being different. You'll have to RMA, sorry. What ROM did you flash?

1. Other phones have kernels with different voltages that can fry the insides.
2. Other phones use different partition numbers. The script may flash flash a kernel to the bootloader - bye bye phone
3. a brick is a brick. You cannot unbrick. If you "unbricked" something, then it wasn't bricked.

Oh okay. Do you think RMA is possible when it's my fault?

You can send it to LG. RMA to Google is not possible.

Not possible because they know I bricked it?

Not possible because the warranty doesn't cover user error.

This. When they find out its your fault, they charge you for a new phone. If you send to LG they will hopefully just quote you for repair of existing phone.

I had something similar...
keep your phone plugged....but use its charger, no other version...and keep press power for 60/90 seconds...

Hm I tried but it doesn't work.
Do they even test the phones? I did an RMA once and they said if they see a broken display or anthing they let me know and send it back to me + I send the new phone back to them again. Would they really charge me?

The answer to both those questions is; why wouldn't they?

Here's the deal. RMA to Google is for manufacturing defects ONLY. When you RMA, Google freeze the cost of the phone in your account. When they find out its not a defect, they will take that money. Sending a phone to Google, knowing its your fault, hoping to get it replaced for free is fraud.
Sending to LG shows you are willing to pay for the repair. LG will repair manufacturing defect for free. They should charge you to repair user error. Sending a phone to LG, knowing its your fault, hoping to get it repaired for free is fraud.
Here is my advice. Send it to LG. Tell them what you did. Ask them for a price to repair.

There is no reason not to but maybe it's just not what they usually do

Just send it to LG, and tell tgem what you did. You bricked it so you need to take responsibilty for it

I read a lot of horrible storys about LG's RMA :|
It's not my phone by the way. I think I will try an RMA and buy a new one at the same time ... does anyone know what that could cost me?

[Q] any way to recover from black screen of death?

first of all i wanna tell you that my english is really bad
I have experienced black screen of death several times before and i've managed to recover from it by using key combination or my phone just recovers from it within 30 minutes when i haven't done anything but this time it is taking way too long and I'm not able to fix myself I'm on custom rom is there anyway to recover from black screen of death?

Hold the power button until it reboots.

thanks for replying but that doesn't work phone just vibrates and screen stays black i think phone is actually on but screen is not it even enters bootloader mode and i can do adb stuff on my pc

If your can get into the bootloader I'd try flashing the factory image

Does the screen function in bootloader? If not like jd said its hardware. Most likely the flex ribbon connection.
