[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.

Do you want to wipe data?
Try it on setting in the mobile only.
Do you want to wipe dalvik-cache, then do it through rom manager.
Wiping is easy, why do u want to do it through cwm only????
Ur tab doesn't have all hardware support i feel...

It's bricked... If you want to enjoy custom ROMs and kernels, at least get a device that is supported.

its not bricked sir coz i have read in many forums that allwinner a10 chipset is practically unbrickable
what should i do any onew plz help me

looks like your tablet is having Allwinner A10 BOXCHIP CPU.
Do you have the original stock .img ROM( not the cwm backup) ?
if yes then press the power button for about 10-15 secs to switch it off then connect it to PC and try to flash it with livesuit tool.

have you look on needrom.com if have the rom for you ?

ok.... can you provide me the full info of your tablet?
pm me.... lets talk there.

Try a factory reset or you could simply try a root program and try un rooting it then rooting it back cause my phone was slow after root but I tried again and it worked like a charm (back up before formating)

i have flashed wrong rom and my tab dosent show any display then how can i factory reset when i cant see any thing

I am having the same issue, I am trying to revive a Chinese "vigo" 7 in tablet for kicks.
I get the boot screen and when I plug it into my win 7 PC I can see a drive like icon but I cant access it .
Livesuite just complains about nothing needs updating when I try that.
7" 5-Point Capacitive Touch Screen
Boxchip A10 1.2Ghz Cortex A8
Android 4.0 w 4GB Memory and 512MB RAM
Micro SD (Upto 32GB)
HDMI, Headphone Socket, Mini USB
Wireless N w Front Camera
Supports most Video and Audio formats
Li-ion battery 3000mAH
I can get it to the boot and splash screen but thats it, I can see windows is trying to load it but the drivers dont seem to be there but there is no complaint from windows either and nothing in the Device manager.
I have Livesuit here and installed but it cant see the tablet. Windows shows 2 new "drives" when I plug the tablet into my PC but I cant access them.
Any thoughts?
TIA

Try downloading one of the root tools like srsroot which will let you boot into debug mode. That should restore your boot structure. Have you already tried this?
