[Q] XT926 Bricked? - RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I accidentally flashed XT907 OTA to my XT926 and the phone won't even power up now.
I can 3 finger salute it but nothing displays.
Anyway to get it back into fastboot to flash the problem images? Or am I screwed?

Try plugging into wall and or computer with factory cord. It might turn it on and then you can proceed to try ap fastboot. Your recovery is probably corrupt.

I'm guessing you was on 4.1.2 JB and the ota was 4.4 KK?

Plugging it is with a factory charger does nothing either...

Your bricked. I was in the same boat after trying to flash back to 4.1.2 from 4.4 and that was the only way for me to get into fastboot. Sorry it did not work for you. I'm sure some of these more experienced guys will be able to help you more.

Was thinking about qflashing a blank bootloader to get into AP Fastboot but find any files or info on QFlash for the XT926.

When you say factory charger are you talking about the one that came with your phone? That's not what hes suggesting. He is suggesting you use either option from here http://shop.teamblackhat.info/. This will try to boot the phone running straight off USB power instead of going through the battery.

They tried the Factory programming cable at the Verizon store no luck...

From what I understand, and SamuriHL can back me up on this, if you flash the XT907 to your XT926, you have just perma-bricked your phone. There is no way to recover from it.
Sorry about that. That really sucks.

Revert to stock recover without ODIN

I've come to the conclusion that the Micro-USB port has been damage on my phone. No matter what combination of cable (OEM or aftermarket) or computer that's I use, the phone won't recognize a USB is plugged in. Additionally, charging has been spotty lately and it will disconnect/reconnect at random. I'm sill within warranty with ATT but I need to recover to stock recovery so that I can put in a claim. Are there any possible ways to do this directly on the phone? (Without ODIN?) I'm running the official ICS release with root and CWM. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Have you talked to ATT cause one of mine is doing same thing the guy at ATT said the port is real loose but its NOT covered in the warrenty.

yes it is possible , mohan has stripped the recovery from ics stock and made a cwm flashable zip file, thats why i made the guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1823134, but only flash the stock recovery if you are going for warranty, if you cant use the usb port you cant use odin to install a new custom recovery

You are my hero! That's exactly what I needed and it worked like a charm. I'm 100% going in for a warranty claim today so I'm really hoping the take it. I have a blotchy screen issue as well so I think I have a solid claim.
I know this is case-dependent but my Skyrocket started having basically the same issue, but come to find out it was actually the end of the cable that goes into the port and not the port itself.
Perhaps I just got lucky. Now I just use a microUSB cable I got with an old digicam. But it may be worth trying if you have an extra microUSB cable.

not currently, after using the ezsbf tool for .629 im at a bootloop i can recreate that error by flashing a .608 sbf if need be..once i have the mem map error i cannot access recovery i dont think i believe itll go straight to bootloader. wouldn't it ?
if charge mode doesn't work, sbf didn't work
reflash 629 or try 2.4.29 then try 629 again

okay ill try to reflash the .629 ill try the 2.4.29 i have no idea what that is btw its a lower sbf correct? i will get mem mapped wont i? ill most likely have to do it tomorrow i have literally been sbfing all day the battery is too low to program. not to mention its like 3:am. but a link or description of what the 2.4.29 is would be awesome do i want to flash this with rsdlite ? then completely power off and see if itll charge right?
yes 2.4.29 is a sbf, yes it will brick, but files will be written
then flash 4.5.629, may work correct
other options
use different usb data cable
usb port

with rsd lite reinstall drivers

Am I hard bricked?

I have a black HTC screen with a ! triangle in each corner. Tried to ruu and it failed and I have no clue what to do now. I've never seen this before so I'm lost. . .
I was running carbon rom and was having some bad random reboot problems. I wiped and tried to flash venom and it kept rebooting. So I locked it and tried to ruu, and it failed horribly.
I should also add that I am soff.
Have you tried to get back into boot loader manually? Press and hold volume down and power at the same time. When lights stop flashing, release power while continuing to hold volume down until you enter boot loader.

You have what is called a radio brick. I don't know of any method to fix it unless you can get another ruu to flash or search around for a method to repair it.

First off, you are not bricked in any sense of the word. On this device, if the screen comes on at all, you are not bricked, and you can recover from it. It just takes the proper steps.
RUU should have given an error code (like "ERROR 170"). Telling what code comes up might help.
You might just try to download the RUU again.
Or you can try to re-unlock the bootloader and flash custom recovery via adb. If that works, just load a custom ROM zip (by way of mount USB in recovery) and flash it.

Is that what the HTC screen with the red triangle with exclamation mark in each corner symbolizes? This screen is new to me.
I'm only familiar with the screen that had the big red triangle and exclamation in the middle of the screen, which is stock recovery.
I wish someone would put that you don't need to relock bootloader to RUU if you are S-OFF in the stickies somewhere.
Unfortunately, yes. The triangles in each corner with exclamation points are for radio brick. He damaged the partition in some way. Like you said, he may be able to flash over it but depends on the damage. If not it will be jewel or JTAG time.

Maybe something went awry while the RUU was trying to write to the radio partition?
He should be able to just reflash a new radio.
I suspect the initial problem was trying to run a Sense rom (Venom) on top of the AOSP kernel from Carbon.
Very possible. Bad ruu or didn't flash properly. Maybe op can let us know how reflashing turns out or if the jewel kit works. And like stated above, sense and aosp radio partitions are different. Being hung up on an asop ROM while flashing a sense ruu can not be good.

AOSP radio is part of the Rom. Sense radio partitions are not even touched by an aosp Rom. You can flash a sense radio while on aosp and have no effect. I don't know if hboot has issues with a borked radio partition though.
I don't know about that. I have never flashed a ruu not compatible with the rom I am using. Hopefully reflashing the radio will fix op's problem.
Sent from my One X using xda premium
That screen from what I can tell is what you get from a bad ruu flash. You need to flash an ruu to completion to fix it.
I left the phone overnight and I guess the battery died. Wont charge when I plug it in. Computer doesn't recognize it either.
What happened was my stupid cat knocked my phone off the computer desk when I was running the ruu and the cable came out. I tried to re run the ruu, but it wouldn't run. Adb commands also did nothing.
Since the phone wont charge and appears to be dead, I ended up using my phone insurance. . . should have a replacement in a few days.

S3 stuck on red Verizon boot screen

So I've been working on this all night last night and all day today.
The issue- phone will boot, get to the red Verizon boot screen, sit there for approximately 45-60 seconds, then go to the lock screen. Within a couple of seconds, Then a message pops up that says process com.android.phone has stopped, then the phone reboots.
What I've tried- flashing various Vralec boot strings through Odin 3.2 and 1.3. Also tried five different stock ROMs and a CF Auto Root, in the hopes unlocking the bootloader would allow me to get a ROM to flash. Each and every one of these things has had an AUTH fail in Odin. Can anyone help me please?
I've also googled stuck red verizon screen, verizon s3 boot loop, process com.android.phone has stopped. None of the solutions I've found have been helpful, and are usually what led to the actions tried above. I believe I've encountered this before, but I checked my post history and wasn't able to find a thread, so I assume I found the solution on my own the last time.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

This is a warranty replacement from Verizon. Since I can't get it to boot, is there an alternative method to find those versions?
I have another S3, replaced less than a month ago, so I would assume they are the same software version and basebands, and that one is running 4.4.2 and I535OYUDNE1
The soft bricked, boot loop, S3 belongs to my girlfriend.
Flashing other ROMs on the S3 4.3 and newer will brick it. The bootloader was never unlocked. I'll try to find the thread describing the issue and post it here.

Flashing the ROMS through Odin failed every time, and none of that was done until AFTER the phone went in to a boot loop. It was already soft bricked, so I tried various different methods. Now I know, for future reference, that attempting to flash ROMs without unlocking the bootloader will brick it. Good to know.
If I can work around the Odin failed authorization, I believe I can flash a stock ROM to the phone and be all right, OR if someone can tell me how to unlock the bootloader, I should be able to flash a custom ROM, correct? It seems that the boot partition permissions were changed and have now affected the boot process, from what I've been reading.

No one has been able to unlock the bootloader since 4.3. I doubt anyone's really trying now because the phone is older. Sorry man.

Bricked no, if your able to install apps it's far from bricked. He is correct however once the bootloader is locked your pretty much stuck. Replacements directly from verizon are coming back with 4.4.2 installed.

As I just stated in the post above yours if you can install apps the phone isn't bricked. Bootloader unlocking on the S3 with 4.3 or 4.4 is merely a possibility but probably unlikely

All right, tried the recover from computer, it's to recover a bricked bootloader. My bootloader isn't bricked, it's the actual ROM that's non functional. So that didn't help. Just need a stock ROM to flash to the phone, can still get to download mode, which connects to Odin, no problem, can also get to stock recovery, Volume Up, Menu, power. Just need a stock ROM that works, or a way to get whatever authorization Odin or the phone wants in order to flash a boot chain and stock ROM. (I do know now not to flash a custom ROM, thank you for that!)

I definitely would not call that soft bricked. Can you get into recovery and try clearing cache and reboot? Worst case, factory reset from recovery and you should be good to go.

have you tried using odin or kies to just flash the stock NE1 4.4.2? youll have to reroot with towelroot afterwards but atleast the phone will be functional. as for the bootloader, sounds like its locked anyways so it wont be no worse than the shape youre in already.

I have tried that, I believe I haven't been able to find a stock 4.4.2 ROM though. I'm fine with rebooting and re rooting, that's not my concern, even if I can't root, I don't care about that. Could you point me to a solid stock ROM image?
The images I've tried, numerous labeled stock ROMs, and, out of desperation last night, two custom ROMs. Through either recovery mode, or Odin, all failed, through recovery it was a certificate error, and through Odin it was an authorization error. AUTH FAIL, specifically.

that last link i believe is the actual tar file for NE1 if i remember correctly, i used kies when i updated mine and i didnt encounter any errors. did you delete the .md5 so it was just .tar (not .tar.md5) before trying it in odin? i know most people prefer odin over kies but if youre having this many problems kies is worth a shot.
worst case i can upload the one i have

that last link i believe is the actual tar file for NE1 if i remember correctly, i used kies when i updated mine and i didnt encounter any errors. did you delete the .md5 so it was just .tar (not .tar.md5) before trying it in odin? i know most people prefer odin over kies but if youre having this many problems kies is worth a shot.

[Q] CANNOT get LG PC Suite to recognize device!

So my phone got stuck in a boot loop after setting a custom font in ifont and rebooting. I have been trying for literally 4 hours to get the LG PC Suite to work so that I can unroot and hopefully get my phone to boot. Well I have tried EVERYTHING. Uninstalled and reinstalled the suite several times, unplugged and replugged in the phone from both the computer and phone end. Tried different USB ports, a different USB cable. Uninstalled and reinstalled device drivers. NOTHING WORKS. It downloads all the drivers fine EXCEPT for the Android MTP Device driver, which I'm assuming is the issue. For the love of god HOW do I get it to work? I was really banking on this method because I do not have a custom recovery or backup of my system (since it's not currently possible) and don't want to lose my data. Or is there another reliable method that works without the loss of data? Your help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!
I'm not sure I can help at all, but can you boot your phone into the recovery or download mode? Maybe you could adb pull from your phone to get data. I know it's in a bootloop but maybe it only Loops when it attempts to load os

Hey, it's the thought that counts. The fact that you're even trying to help is greatly appreciated, so thank you =] I can get into recovery but the only option it gives me is to do a factory reset, which I don't want to do at all but definitely not before unrooting the device first. Don't want to cause any more problems. I don't really know much about ADB, I read a little about it earlier but to my understanding to use it as a method it has to be preinstalled prior to bootloop or bricking. And I have never installed it. Maybe I read something wrong, so correct me if I'm wrong but that's what I got from it. I have been at this all day. I am going crazy without my phone! =[ lol
Ok, follow this link. Read direction, then once you've done that come back and ask follow up questions. Adb doesn't get installed on the phone at all. I would do an adb pull and pull my data for backup, then wipe phone and start over. But let's see if we can't avoid wipe.

After reading your comment again I I under stand what you meant by "install it first" in guessing you didn't activate developer mode and usb debugging on the phone prior to boot loop.

Well thanks for your help! Yeah I think developer mode was activated at the time of the bootloop but I'm not even sure it would matter, anyway?
However I did install ADB and fastboot. Just trying to figure out where to go from there now. Don't know what to type into cmd. It's worth a shot. If I can figure out what to type. Don't really have anything to lose at this point. lol
