You can't hardbrick your phone just with a kernel.
Can you boot into fastboot-Mode?

If you've damaged or replaced your bootloader and the phone will not boot, all you can really do is send it to a service centre, so they can reflash the memory. I doubt very much there is anything you can do as a "home" user.

HARDbrick with a kernel? Sure? I thought you can only do that while flashing a bootloader...

Yeah, sure. Kernel control all sorts of things for the device, including the amount of electrical current sent to the hardware such as the digitiser, cpu etc. Flashing an incorrect kernel can literally fry the components.
Besides, he has damaged / lost / replaced his bootloader, which sounds like there is a problem that may not be rectified. He may even have flashed the kernel to the bootloader partition, who knows?
There is only one kind of brick. Hard brick / soft brick doesn't exist, despite what people say. It's either bricked or it's not. If this user can recover his device, it was not bricked. If he cannot, then it is. I will also include in the term "bricked" if it can be repaied, but only with industrial equipment available to a service centre,

Remove usb cable.
Press and hold power key for 20 secs
Release power key.
Press power key, volume_up key and volume_down key.
If the screen does not turn on then press power key for 20 secs.
Release power key.
Press and hold volume_up key while you connect the usb cable.
After connecting the usb cable you have to keep pressing volume_up key for 2-3 secs.
If the screen turns on follow my guide about lg flashtool. Link in my signature.
If the screen still remains black you have to claim your warranty. If you cant claim your warranty then you have to buy a new motherboard and replace it for yourslef or pay someone to buy a new motherboard and replace itnfor you or buy a new phone. JTAG is not possible, because every msm8974 soc comes with disabled JTAG. Your other option is to find the right connection for the emmc on the motherboard and solder wires to it between an sdcard adapdter.

This will not be covered by warranty. The only way to get this covered by warranty would be to not tell the truth, which is fraud. Any damage is purely the users fault and not a manufacturing defect,

Yeah, I get your point, I see it like this: Soft"brick" is when a normal user (not users which are in this forums, but users which haven't heard about flashing and rooting) can't use his phone, for him it is literally a brick.
Hardbricked is when you have a damaged hardware/bootloader and not even the best "recoverer" in the forums can't fix the phone on software - layer.

Can you load the secondary bootloader (POWER + VOL UP + VOL DOWN)? If not, then it's hopeless. Why would you flash another device's kernel?

Do you have insurance? Most bank accounts do have them as part of them. If so, throw it on the floor and claim for a new one. They won't bother replacing a smashed screen and damaged housing so they'll just send a new one out ?

That's still fraud.
Send it for repair and own up to what you did. Surely flashing the memory via a service centre is not an expensive endeavour.

recently the power button on my nexus s(i9020) stopped working (all of a sudden). i was managing till now with cm7's volume wake feature. Now im thinking of getting it fixed under warranty but i need to unroot the device for that.
problem here is all the instructions i can find need the power button to navigate through the recovery menu. i have to unroot AND flash a stock rom without the power button!
i dont know what to do :'(. pls help!
You're going to need the power button to re-lock the boot loader - no way around that.
You can use fastboot to flash a stock AOSP system (/system, /data) and erase userdata, but you're going to need that power button to confirm the lock.
okay, so basically there's no work around with it ... thanks anyway. will they atleast fix it for some cash? i mean without the warranty?

Even unlocked they may fix it under warranty - if it's an obvious hardware issue. The language when unlocking states that it may void the warranty. Even on the Nexus One (which said it does void the warranty) I got a bad trackball fixed under warranty when I told them it was only broken due to being in a car accident.

i use the twrp recovery instead of clockwork. my power button is dead too. you dont need the power button to select in the twrp recovery. also, to select in the bootloader since im without the power button, i firmly flick the back of the phone with my finger right under the lens. that works every time for me, and i spend a lot of time in recovery and in the bootloader when testing out kernels
thanks guys. i just downloaded the beta version or whatever u call of the next clockwork mod and it supports the capacitive keys! yay! ill be handing it over to samsung today. lets see what happens
I just got a Inspire that will vibrate 3 times and then stop and blank screen.
Will not enter boot loader and get detected by usb.
Is this recoverable?

...read the "Effen Manual" carefully about 3 times then use the feature that puts everything back to stock unrooted/stock RUU. Then use AAHK again to root the device and you should be good. I almost bricked my Inspire with HTCDevUnlock, and used AAHK in this way to fix it.

If he is not able to get into fastboot he wont have a chance to get his phone back. Besides, the Hack Kit does not run from fastboot and running a device that is already S-OFF is useless.
Maybe, you should read the effen manual some more...
OK I had this problem. Take the battery out and let the phone sit for about half an hour. Then plug the phone in to a wall charger ( not the computer ) press the volume down button and press the power button until you see the HTC logo. After that keep holding the down button until it enters HBOOT. Use the vloume keys to select the reboot option and boot the phone. It worked for me. Hope it helps.

My phone has done this twice as well. Both times taking the battery out for 30 minutes & then booting into recovery (volume down+power) fixed the problem for me
sorry for rekindling this thread, but im trying one of you guys' solutions as I type this. my girlfriends inspire died about 2 weeks ago. she fully charged it, and ran the battery out completely. havent tried a new battery yet but that will be the next step.
anyway. I havent messed with it for about a week. all it does is vibrate 7 times. No boot, no bootloader, no usb detection, anything. Pulled battery and gonna let sit for an hour before i put the battery back in, and try the bootloader method. I called ATT about it but they wont replace the device or anything. I read online about it being hard bricked, and if thats the case, that means the phone is just an expensive paperweight right? It was completely stock, no rooting or anything. the phone just died and wouldnt turn back on at all, even sitting on the charger over night.

I installed rom manager and flashed ClockworkMod Recovery. it showed clockwork mod is flashed successfully. i selected reboot to recovery, but now my phone is only displaying LG logo. i can't even use hard reset power+home+volume down. it still shows LG logo when i press power+home+volume down . KDZ is showing phone not found. even LG mobile support tool is unable to recognize my phone. i have tried reinstalling drivers. nothing worked.
i am running win7 X64 and there is nothing in 'modems' section of device manager so can't disable LG modem.
what should i do?
my phone was running rooted stock 2.3.3 with new baseband.

Don't pay to service centre ever without knowing what you are paying for. In most cases when your phone is dead, ur motherboard has minor damage. so they should take 1500 inr for that. but in case the motherboard is burnt then 8000 for whole of it. I have paid once so I know about this
Glad everything worked out for you. Having once worked for a phone repair center, I can tell you that replacing the motherboard or other hardware is standard procedure. It's all about minimizing turnaround time and maximizing profit. Replacing the hardware is cheaper (for the service center) than spending time trying to troubleshoot the problem. That's why I tell people that unless they're sure it's a hardware problem, it's usually better to just learn how to fix their phones themselves.

OT..
Minor or major.. anything happens to board cant be repaired and has to be replaced. Everything is fabricated using computerized tools so a normal person cant repair it using a soldering iron.
Anything that is not on Pcb can be detached and replaced.
If the phone is hard bricked.. there are only two options
-Replace the board.. which is costly.
-Find a service centre with JTAG to reset and reprogrammed the IC.. lot cheaper than replacing the board.. but hard to find
Hey Guys!
So I had Cyanagonmod on my Nexus 5 for quiete a while now. But yesterday my phone suddenly turned off. I've tried to boot it but all it does is showing me the Google-Logo and the "Unlocked"-Logo for a second and it reboots again and I see the same thing.
Important:
1. It only boots if it is connected via USB (Wallcharger, or connected to PC)
2. If I try to boot in the Bootloader through pressing the volume buttons + the power button it just reboots after a second and the google logo appears again
3. the computer doesn't recognize the phone even though it's connected
-> I already tried to fix the problem with the Nexus 5 Toolkit but as I said the PC doesn't even know that it's connected.
PLEASE HELP ME!
I thank you for your answers and your support!:good:
Sounds to me like your power button is stuck. If you have a case, take it off. Then try mashing the power button a number of times.

by press power button + volume down, how you are supposed to. theres no key combo to get into your recovery, you go into the bootloader then press recovery. if your power button is stuck, then the moment you enter the bootloader, it gets pressed down to boot up normally.

Hi gang,
My Xperia Z5 (E6603) would not boot up after the latest update. I'm guessing it must've died during the update.
I tried:
Reset (Pwr + Vol+/-) and OFF button in sim card tray. All reset attempt was done several times with and without the simcard tray.
I noticed the phone did not vibrate when I tried Pwr + vol+ or with the OFF button by itself. It only vibrate when the OFF and Pwr button were held down simultaneously.
To rule out it was battery, I let it charged for almost 2 days now without any success. I still get the slow blinking red light and no solid red or orange or green light indicating the device is fully charged. I also check the integrity of the battery at the stored and it is at 4.0 V, so I believe the battery is not the problem.
Unplugging battery method: Tried unplugging the battery and connect to the computer then plugged it back in with no luck.
Flashtool was not recognized after holding Vol- and connect to the computer.
I also tried different charger and usb
i read from many forum that the battery needs to die in order to reset the kernel. Should I just let the battery discharged? Or are there others ways that are more efficient?
I'm not sure what to do at this point. Any suggestion will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!

Go to phone repair outlets in your city, not in Sony Service Center. usually they can fix hardware problem. I dont know what software are used. I only know with Jtag can repair bootloader via test point.

not sure. locked or unlocked should work, because the files inject directly to emmc
by the way, have you try to change another battery?
ave you tried to boot the phone into download mode?
Have you tried the actual Sony Tool and the Recovery-Process?
With that i unbricked my Z5 from that symptons i think 2 or 3 times already after the flash went somehow wrong because it stopped midway.

ave you tried to boot the phone into download mode?
Have you tried the actual Sony Tool and the Recovery-Process?
With that i unbricked my Z5 from that symptons i think 2 or 3 times already after the flash went somehow wrong because it stopped midway.

The phone won't boot into download mode. It's not recognized by PC companion so I can't carry out the recovery process.
Thank you for the suggestion!

Another thing - on my Laptop i can't access fastboot mode because it restarts everytime (showing the blue led and then it reboots), therefore i have to attach the Z5 to the Dockingstation.
But it seems like it is completeley dead right?
just to be sure - press and hold vol up and then connect your usb-cable. If the LED stays blue - gg
Then you just have to install the fastboot driver in Test-Mode (reboot to f8 and deactivate the Enforced Driver Signature) and then you may be able to atleast flash or better first boot the phone with a new kernel. If the boot works and then crashes you have your first step to unbrick the phone.
fastboot boot "kernel-image"
Altough i don't have any idea which Kernel you should choose
