Help need to unbrick Bell Blaze, A71, Apanda A60, Wellcom A88 etc.

I bricked my Wellcom A88 (A71 variant) and the power button won't even turn on the phone. I know on some devices there is a way to still talk to the flashing chip by pressing certain key(s) while plugging in the USB cable to the computer. Is there a way to do this with this device and does someone have the special flashing tools that would be needed to revivie it? Right now my phone is completely dead.

I found on google that you can boot in emergency download mode to flash a stock ROM
Do this by pressing these buttons: (volume up + red button + power)
I hope that works

I cannot do that because the power key doesn't turn on the phone. The only thing that happens is the red light comes on when the charger is connected. Other than that the phone is completely dead. I cannot boot into any mode because it won't turn on at all. I know on some devices there are ways to either jumper something to reload an emergency bootrom for flashing, or a way to connect directly to the flashing chip for emergency flashing. On this device I cannot find a way to get into a flashing mode without the power button and it at least going through the bootloader, which jumps to the mode based on the keys pressed. Since the power key isn't doing anything I cannot get into any mode.
Thanks for your suggestion. If I could do that I would have done that already. i appreciate you trying to help though.
I will try taking it in for service and see if they will fix it or replace the motherboard. If they refuse I know where the location of the JTAG points and I have a graphic showing which one is what, but I have never flashed JTAG and don't have a cable or software for flashing. It would also require disassembling the phone to expose the JTAG points. I hope that is not a road I have to go down, but if the service center won't help me that will be my only option. If anyone is interested here is a photo showing the JTAG points for the the variants of the Foxcon A668, which are Wellcom A88, Apanda A60, Orange Boston, Cincinnati Bell Blaze, Gigabyte Gsmart G1305, Motorola XT502, Vibo A688, Chinavision Excalibur, Muchtel A1, Commtiva Z71 and Nexian Journey Lounge, CSL Spice MI300 and many others. This phone has to be one of the most successful rebranded devices ever.

You still haven't explained anything. What do you mean "dead boot?" What exact files do you need. If the phone won't turn on at all there is nothing you can do.

[How TO] Unbrick, hard bricked LG Optimus One (P500)

I was using
Device: LG Optimus One P500
Recovery: ClockworkMod 5.0.2.7
Kernel version: 2.6.35.10
Android version: 4.2.1
Current ROM: GenetICS 9.1.7
Then I downloaded another custom ROM [4.2.1]PACman 19.9.0 [PA][AOKP][CM](seems to be deleted now). Stating thats its some updated version of previous ROM.
Downloaded through XDA app and then opened it directly with ROM Manager to install it.
But unfortunately something went wrong and my phone got stuck on boot logo i.e. LG. :silly:
Then I tried to repair it with KDZ updater using V20c-00 firmware. Everything worked fine. I rooted it through SuperOne click and installed CWM recovery through ROM Manager. :victory:
Till then everything was looking under control.
After that I tried to flash another ROM through CWM Recovery, but again i got stuck on Boot Logo. I tried to repair it once again with KDZ updater as I did it previously, but everytime KDZ updater showed error.
Now my phone is not even responding to anything means not with hard keys combos or something. :crying:
I am not able to find any solution for this, even I searched it a lot.
Please please help me.
Edit: If only LG can help me now, can anyone tell me how much it will cost?

Unfortunately, if you removed the battery after KDZ gives out an error, you have hard-bricked your phone. Only LG can help you now

There is an emergency mode you can attempt, as long as you have the software on your computer to flash factory settings on to your phone.
To access emergency mode, do the following:
1) Take out the battery
2) Have a usb cable already connected to the computer.
3) Hold the power button + volume up + back button AND then connect the usb while holding those buttons
Yellow screen will appear with the words emergency mode in the middle.
At this point, do some forum searching, find some kind of stock image file and LG program to flash stock system on to the phone.
*there is also a forum post somewhere here that I learnt this stuff off of...see if you can find it

I have not had any luck with KDZ or LGMDP with a device stuck in Emergency Mode. I have two P506's that are stuck in Emergency Mode, thanks to KDZ. I have tried every fix I can find here and on several other forums with no luck. I don't want to discourage you, but don't get your hopes up either.
I know this is OT, but...
This is the kind of stuff that we like to see from New Members here at XDA. This is the right way to get your 10 posts. Keep it up

I remember being successful with the LGMDP in emergency Mode with the P500, even though the stock rom that i used didnt quite work with the phone it got me past the boot logo and gave me access back into my recovery. Once you can at least get into the recovery you are golden (for the most part).

Thanks shinobi. I've been lurking xda for a while now since i got the p500, just recently i really wanted to post in rashed's thread for issues/bugs i found with the cm10.1 rom

No luck to me guys. As I already mentioned that there is no response from phone, not even emergency mode.
Now I tried with even JTAG still no luck.
Went to LG day before yesterday as that was the only hope. But unfortunately my phone is out of warranty and the cost of motherboard is almost equal to the cost of phone itself.
So, that means I have no other option besides keeping it with me as a precious piece of brick.
Thanks to KDZ_Updater.

Cost of motherboard from LG was 8800/- Indian Rupees. And the total cost of phone was 9999/- Indian Rupees.
But I got it repaired in 1800/- Indian Rupees with JTAG. Thanks to a local mobile repair shop.
But I am afraid that this service may not be available in your country.

I am also from India buddy. But I don't think so I could fund jtag in my city.
What is your location?

lg phoenix p505 softbrick fix
had an lg phoenix that kept giving status 7 errors when I tried to flash in recovery, failures in fastboot, and normal boot just went to black screen
Then I found "how-to-fix-lg-phoenix-fastboot-issues" a page that has working KDZ instructions (after a fashion), now it boots to an ugly fuzzy blue bad driver ancient version of android, but hey, it's alive again!
I would post the link, but spam filter prevents it. it was over at lg-phones dot org.

search web for OCTOPUSBOX or MEDUSABOX, this are sites for JTAG sales but they offer software for free, maybe you will have luck
or bring it to repair shop, it will cost you around 20$

Could you pls tell me if this procedure helps in my situation?

Hi a_loo!
I Have a LG P500 2.3.3 V20e.
I rooted it today without any problem. Loaded ROM manager, flashed ClockworkMod recovery.
Then I downloaded from Cyanogen cm-7.2.0-p500.zip and placed it on the SD card.
And from ROM manager I did an "install ROM from SD card."
It worked for a while the it froze with a cyanogenmod 7 image. None of the controls & buttons and working.
I'm rather new and trying not to panic.
I'd really appreciate your assistance.

Bricked Lg P500
I hard bricked my LG P500 today. It seems there is no hope... No life at all. Oh well... Life sucks I'm in South Africa and don't want to spend money on older phone. I probably did something wrong with LG KDZ, trying to flash stock ROM.

is there any way i can flash this using memory card?? my cell is not booting up at all

Does ur phone even shows the samsung logo?

No nothing.. i tried all the combinations but is not showing anything..

Maybe it hard bricked.
Try flashing stock rom manually via odin.
Do a google search for it.
Edit: connect ur phone to a pc without battery and try the button combos see if the pc detects ur phone.

Same Problem here ... :crying:
After testing CyanogenMod 7.2 I flashed back to GT-I5800_XXJPU_XXJP4_OXXJPO_multi_xxx.7z via ODIN but after reboot I cannot switch on my I5800.
But maybe it's a hardware problem: About a week ago a line of (black) dead pixels appeared across the screen. :crying:

so no other way other than going to service center?

Well, i think u will be requiring a usb jig.Its a device which forces a samsung device into download mode even if its bricked.You can buy one online.
This is much cheaper than a new motherboard.Hopes it works.

I can see below lines in usbjig.com
Code:
If your phone screen is always black, turn it on and if it stays completely black, then sorry, but NO USB jig will help you.

well if that's true then you have to go for replacing ur motherboard.
but still if you wanna try you can buy one on ebay.

[Completed] [Q] Black Screen of Death

Hi everyone ! I am new to forum, so please forgive me if I post into the wrong category .
I have a very big problem with my phone (LG L3 Optimus E400) . I have installed a lot of custom roms on it and yesterday I realized that the current rom I was using doesn't receive text messages so I decided to try antoher one and I had the "great" idea to Flash v20 Baseband for flashing SlimBeane610 rom. That was very silly. After I flashed the rom, I rebooted my phone and nothing happened, screen is black all the time. When I press the power button the phone vibrates and the back and menu buttons lights up for 1 second like normal log on, then boom, all goes black again and if I don't remove the battery and I press the power button or any combination (like Reset, Emergency mode) doesn't work. I googled everything, I found something on this forum but not very useful. I tried wit adb but my phone isn't on so it can't be recognized. I tried wit KDZ Updater (until the phone was recognized) but I get a error like WParam: 100 and LParam: 500. When I connect it with USB sounds are playing like normal and Mobogenie wants to connect with it but I can't enable USB Debugging so it's pissing me off . If I can enable USB Debuggins from PC somehow, maybe I can connect phone with Mobogenie and make a restore , a backup or flash another rom, it would be easy If I can go into recovery or emergency mode but I can't . If it would exist a software that can erase everything on the phone when the it's turned off ... .I tried with LG TOOLS, LG PC SUITE IV, LG FLASH TOOLS, Android MULTI TOOLS and nothing(i have the latest drivers installed). Can I make something to it using the external_sd (like put a flash into it, connect it through PC via USB cable and try to flash a rom from command prompt but I don't know the paths). This is a very hard problem, I have a bricked L3 and I don't know hot to unbrick, I think isn't only a soft problem, maybe I should do something with its hardware ? If anyone could help I would really appreciate .
Thanks in advance !
PS : I won't be able to follow this conversation until the next week because I am going to "Primitive Age" right now...oh God, I'm only good to smash things . :crying:

PodGom said:
The most important thing is, can you see the LG logo that shows up in normal boot? If you don't, it'd be either a screen problem or a hard brick. Nobody except LG can fix these problems, and you would have to pay LG some money to fix the phone. But if you DO see the LG logo and your phone stops, you can try the below options.
It just may be bricked, and you could try getting into recovery and flash an alternative ROM. But if that doesn't work, tryLG mobile support tools to get it back to its stock firmware. Good Luck!

No, I can't see the LG logo . If I could saw the LG screen was very easy to fix it. I think the phone it's really dead and I also think that even an authorized service can't fix it . Do you know an approximately price for fixing this issue ? Thanks .
